Li1.5Al0.5Ti1.5(PO4)3 (LATP), one of the promising SSEs, can be produced by a scalable, nontoxic, economic process. However, when LATPs come into contact with a lithium metal anode, the reduction of Ti4+ to Ti3+ by electron conduction forms a resistive layer that hinders lithium-ion migration, thereby causing a high level of polarization. In this study, we synthesized a polymer ionic liquid (PIL) with high ionic conductivity through anion exchange reaction and employed it as a coating layer on LATP by a simple dip-coating method. Li symmetric cell with PIL@LATP demonstrates stable cycling performance for over 300 cycles at 0.5 mA/cm2. The Li//PIL@LATP//LFP cells exhibit a stable voltage profile with low overpotential at various current densities and a high capacity retention of 83.73% over 200 charge-discharge cycles at 1 C. Also, the stacked bipolar cell demonstrated notable voltage performance with an operational voltage reaching approximately 6.7 V. This voltage profile suggests a robust electrical potential for energy storage applications. Consequently, the PIL layer coated on the solid electrolyte blocks electron conduction from the lithium metal anode at the interface, prevents Ti4+ reduction and reduces the interfacial resistance to ionic conduction, thereby improving the rate capability and cycle stability of the all-solid-state batteries.
