The development of excellent performance solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) is essential for high-energy solid-state lithium batteries . Herein, solid state composite electrolyte consisting of NASICON particles and PEO-LiTFSI was prepared through a solvent-free procedure. The assembled LFP / PEO-LATP / Li all-solid-state battery can present an initial capacity of 153.8 mA h g −1 and exhibit excellent electrochemical stability with a high capacity retention ratio of 95% after 100 cycles at 60 °C. In addition, a small amount of ionic liquid (IL) was added into hybrid solid electrolyte (HSE) to enhance the interface contact and improved the room temperature performance. Surprisingly, the assembled LFP / HSE / Li battery exhibits a stable discharge capacity of 157.6 mA h g −1 at 25 °C when the content of IL is 3%. The capacity retention can be reached 97.8% over 150 cycles at 60 °C. All the results show that assembled cells with HSE revealed an improved electrochemical performance .

A new composite gel polymer electrolyte (PEO-Bp-LATP) membrane consisting of poly-ethylene oxide (PEO), benzophenone (Bp) and varying amounts of highly ion-conducting lithium aluminum titanium phosphate (LATP) particles was prepared by significant Ultraviolet (UV) technology. The as-prepared PEO-Bp-LATP electrolyte membranes showed improved mechanical properties and superior electrochemical performances in Lithium metal batteries (LMBs). Typically, PEO-Bp-15 wt% LATP showed highest ionic conductivity (σ = 3.3 × 10−3 S.cm− 1 ) at RT, a high Li-transference ( t Li + = 0.77 ) and wider electrochemical stability window (ESW) above 5 V as well as good mechanical strength (9.3 MPa). More significantly, the PEO-Bp-15 wt% LATP membrane has an excellent inhibitory effect on Li dendrite expansion in Li symmetric cells and presents a long term cyclic stability with current density of 2 mA/cm 2 over 1100 h for Li//PEO-Bp-15 wt% LATP //Li. Our results for the measurement of galvanostatic charge-discharge deliver fascinating rate performance at 0.1C. Hence, the present study demonstrates that the UV-irradiated PEO-Bp-LATP membrane can be a promising electrolyte to meet the requirements for the next-generation LMBs.
