The present technology relates to gel electrolytes for using in lithium-ion electrochemical cells and methods of forming the same. For example, the method may include adding one or more gelation reagents to an electrochemical cell including one or more liquid electrolyte precursors. The one or more gelation reagents include one or more initiators and one or more crosslinking agents. Each of the one or more initiators may be one of a thermal initiator and an actinic/electron beam initiator. Each of the one or more crosslinking agents may be one of a tridentate alkane and a tetradentate alkane having one or more substitutes including a terminal group represented by: ##STR00001##
