Enhanced 3D framework composite solid electrolyte with alumina- modified Li1.4Al0.4Ti1.6(PO4)3 for solid-state lithium battery

Lithium ion (Li + ) battery with conventional liquid electrolyte exists typical and notorious security risk. Composite solid electrolyte integrating the merits of various electrolyte systems is an attractive alternative of liquid electrolyte for new-type safety and long-life lithium (Li) batteries. Herein, a 3D framework composite solid electrolyte based on Al 2 O 3 modified Li 1.4 Al 0.4 Ti 1.6 (PO 4 ) 3 (Al 2 O 3 @LATP) was prepared by solution casting and scraping method. The 3D framework composite electrolyte exhibits admirable ionic conductivity (1.1×10 − 4 S cm − 1 at 60 o C), wide voltage window (4.8 V vs . Li/Li + ), good thermal stability and satisfactory electrolyte/electrode interfacial compatibility. The Al 2 O 3 @LATP can not only impede Li dendrite growth, but also avoid the LATP reaction with Li anode. The assembled solid-state LiFePO 4 |Li battery with 3D framework composite solid electrolyte delivers a satisfactory capacity retention up to 95.2% after 400 cycles at 0.5 C and under 60 o C. The 3D framework structural design of solid electrolyte affords a promising options for realizing safe energy storage systems.
