Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 -based electrolytes have got great promise for solid-state lithium (Li) metal batteries because of their high elastic modulus and wide electrochemical stability window. However, the insufficient contact and heterogeneous Li deposition severely hinder their practical applications. Here, a flexible ternary polymethacrylate (PMA) matrix is designed to incorporate with Ta-doped Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZTO-PMA). The PMA matrix ensures excellent interfacial contact, while the synergistic effects of its polar carbonyl groups and its interaction with LLZTO creating fast interfacial Li + pathways yield a high ionic conductivity of 0.266 mS cm − 1 at 20 °C. Moreover, the interaction between LLZTO and PMA matrix further guides the formation of a hybrid LiF/Li 3 N-rich solid electrolyte interphase, which allows a fast Li + interfacial kinetic due to its lowered Li + diffusion barrier. Consequently, the LLZTO-PMA electrolyte contributes an ultra-stable Li anode interphase, attaining a lifespan exceeding 10,000 h in symmetric cells and retaining over 96% capacity after 600 cycles in full battery, demonstrating a breakthrough for high-performance solid-state batteries.
