Significance Use of a flexible solid polymer electrolyte is a common strategy to obtain an all-solid-state lithium battery of high stored electric power at acceptable charge–discharge cycling rates. Commercial realization of this strategy with poly(ethylene oxide) containing a garnet ceramic has been unsuccessful and dendrites form and grow across garnet electrolytes without proper treatment of the garnet surface. We report that use of a perovskite Li+ electrolyte in place of the garnet ceramic provides an adequate Li+ conductivity at 25 °C without dendrite formation. We also demonstrate a binding of the TFSI− anion of a LiTFSI [lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide] salt to the polymer, which increases both the Li+ conductivity and the Li+ transport number. Flexible and low-cost poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based electrolytes are promising for all-solid-state Li-metal batteries because of their compatibility with a metallic lithium anode. However, the low room-temperature Li-ion conductivity of PEO solid electrolytes and severe lithium-dendrite growth limit their application in high-energy Li-metal batteries. Here we prepared a PEO/perovskite Li3/8Sr7/16Ta3/4Zr1/4O3 composite electrolyte with a Li-ion conductivity of 5.4 × 10−5 and 3.5 × 10−4 S cm−1 at 25 and 45 °C, respectively; the strong interaction between the F− of TFSI− (bis-trifluoromethanesulfonimide) and the surface Ta5+ of the perovskite improves the Li-ion transport at the PEO/perovskite interface. A symmetric Li/composite electrolyte/Li cell shows an excellent cyclability at a high current density up to 0.6 mA cm−2. A solid electrolyte interphase layer formed in situ between the metallic lithium anode and the composite electrolyte suppresses lithium-dendrite formation and growth. All-solid-state Li|LiFePO4 and high-voltage Li|LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 batteries with the composite electrolyte have an impressive performance with high Coulombic efficiencies, small overpotentials, and good cycling stability.
