Abstract: Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) hold great potential in high-safety energy storage but face two key bottlenecks: low room-temperature ionic conductivity and insufficient mechanical strength. This study proposes a synergistic optimization strategy of "long-carbon-chain regulation of polymer microstructure combined with porous polyimide (PI) support". A linear random copolyester, poly(1,3-propylene-co-1,4-butylene succinate-co-sebacate) (PBPSS), was synthesized via melt polycondensation using 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, succinic acid, and sebacic acid as monomers. Subsequently, the PBPSS-75 composite electrolyte was prepared with this copolyester as the matrix and porous PI as support. Results show that long-carbon-chain sebacic acid effectively regulates polymer segment flexibility and free volume, synergistically enhancing ionic conductivity and interfacial mechanical stability with lithium metal. Experimental data indicate that PBPSS-75 composite electrolyte exhibits an ionic conductivity of up to 4.25 × 10−5 S cm−1 (30 °C), a lithium-ion transference number of 0.81, and an electrochemical stability window of 4.48 V (vs. Li/Li+). In LiFePO4//Li batteries, it maintains nearly 100% capacity retention after 300 cycles at 0.5 C, and achieves stable cycling for over 800 h in lithium symmetric cells. This study confirms that the combined strategy effectively addresses the conductivity-mechanical property trade-off of SPEs, providing theoretical guidance and technical reference for high-performance solid-state battery material design.
