%X A high-performance solid-state electrolyte was obtained using porous polybenzimidazole (pPBI) and ionic liquid (IL) (i.e., (1-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)-3-methylimidazolium chloride). IL is hydrolyzed to form Si每O每Si networks under acidic conditions, which guarantee the enhanced mechanical properties. The porous structure and Si每O每Si networks improve the acid retention capacity and conductivity simultaneously. The prepared porous composite film exhibits a proton conductivity as high as 0.103 S cm每1 at 170 ∼C. Then, an all-solid-state supercapacitor (ASSC) was assembled using the obtained film electrolyte and activated carbon electrodes. The electrochemical performance was evaluated at different temperatures (30, 60, 90, 120, and 150 ∼C). The prepared ASSC displayed a specific capacitance of 85.5 F g每1 at 120 ∼C, which is 3 times higher than that at 30 ∼C. Meanwhile, the ASSC displayed excellent long-term cycle stability after 10ˋ000 constant current charge and discharge tests, 91.0% capacitance retention, and 95.8% coulomb efficiency. All the results indicate that the porous polymer electrolyte is promising for application in high-temperature energy-storage devices
