Abstract
All solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) with a high energy density are challenging, yet desired by the rising energy demands. Its intrinsic safety of solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) compared to flammable liquid electrolytes makes ASSLBs a modern-day necessity. NASICON-type Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5P3O12 (LAGP) has high ionic conductivity, high stability against air and water, and a wide electrochemical window. However, the application of LAGP is significantly hindered by its slow interfacial kinetics and brittle nature. In addition, the ionic conductivity of LAGP is relatively low at room temperature compared to that obtained at elevated temperatures. In our study, LAGP was incorporated into a polymer matrix to accelerate charge transport at the electrode-electrolyte interface to form LAGP-poly-DOL (LAGP-pDOL) hybrid electrolyte. The in-situ cationic ring-opening polymerization of DOL decreases the interfacial contact impedance and improves the mechanical properties of the SSE. LAGP-pDOL electrolyte exhibits prolonged cycle stability in symmetric cells (> 200 h) and in Li|LiFePO4 full cells (99% retention after 50 cycles) at room temperature. This study demonstrates the effective utilization of conductive polymer matrix into LAGP to enhance mechanical strength, interfacial contact, and room temperature electrochemical performance.
