Organic cathode materials have the advantages of abundant raw materials, high theoretical specific capacity, controllable structure and easy recycling. Pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone (PTO), as one of the typical organic cathode materials, achieves efficient storage and release of Na + . However, its good solubility in traditional organic liquid electrolytes is detrimental to the cyclic stability of batteries. To address this issue, the double-layer composite gel polymer electrolyte (DLCGPE) consisting of poly (ionic liquid) gel polymer electrolyte and plastic crystal electrolyte was developed and applied to organic sodium-metal batteries. This as-prepared DLCGPE displays an ionic conductivity of 2.17×10 -4  S cm -1 and an electrochemical window of 4.8 V. The as-fabricated sodium-symmetric batteries maintain interfacial stability after 500 h of cycling. Furthermore, the PTO/Na batteries could also retain a specific capacity of 201 mAh g -1 after 300 cycles, confirming that DLCGPE achieves the purpose of inhibiting PTO dissolution and maintaining batteries stability. This work broadens the application of asymmetric electrolytes in organic secondary battery.
