Lithium metal battery and method for manufacturing lithium metal battery

A method for manufacturing a lithium metal battery, the method comprising:

• preparing a composition for forming a catholyte;
• preparing a composition for forming an anolyte;
• applying the composition for forming an anolyte onto a lithium metal anode;
• crosslinking the applied composition for forming an anolyte to prepare the lithium metal anode coated with an anolyte;
• stacking the lithium metal anode coated with the anolyte, a porous film, and a cathode to prepare an assembly;
• injecting the composition for forming a catholyte into the assembly;
• and
• crosslinking the injected composition for forming a catholyte to prepare a lithium metal battery including a catholyte,
• wherein the lithium metal battery includes:
• a cathode;
• an anode;
• and an electrolyte disposed between the cathode and the anode,
• the catholyte includes a first polymer electrolyte, and the first polymer electrolyte includes a first polymer, and
• the first polymer includes:
• a first repeating unit derived from a first single-ion conducting monomer;
• and a second repeating unit derived from a first crosslinking monomer having a plurality of reactive functional groups.
