Abstract

Commercial lithium-ion batteries have safety risks due to the use of electrolyte-containing flammable organic solvents. The development of all solid-state lithium ion batteries with solid electrolyte is a feasible technical way to improve the safety of batteries. In this work, PVDF-based composite solid-state electrolytes (CSEs) were prepared by coupling Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (LLZTO) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). The electrochemical performance and interfacial compatibility between composite electrolyte and electrode were improved by the combination of appropriate amount of Li-ion-conducting particles and the insulating polymer. The corresponding solid-state battery of LiFePO4 |PVDF-LLZTO-CSE| Li is fabricated and delivers initial discharge capacity of 162.4 mAh g-1, and coulomb efficiency is approximately 98.5%. And the solid-state battery exhibits satisfactory rate capability and cycling stability at room temperature. This study suggests that a combination of the lithium garnet particles and insulating polymer is one of the promising methods to solve the problem of liquid electrolyte.
