Abstract: PEO-based solid composite electrolyte with the fast ion conductor LAGP(Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5(PO4)3) as a main ionic conductive component and PEO as the binder were prepared by the solution casting method with fixed n(EO)/n(Li)=13, but varying ratio of LiTFSI to LAGP. The structure and morphology of the solid composite electrolyte were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The conductivity of LAGP-PEO(LiTFSI) electrolyte was analyzed by electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that LAGP is partially complexed with PEO(LiTFSI) and homogeneously distributed in PEO(LiTFSI). Three phases are present, a pure crystalline LAGP phase, amorphous PEO(LiTFSI) phase and a transition phase of the LAGP particles and amorphous PEO(LiTFSI). With w(LAGP)∶w(PEO)=6∶4, the optimal ionic conductivity for LAGP-PEO(LiTFSI) solid composite electrolyte is 2.68×10-5 S/cm at room temperature and 1.86×10-4 S/cm at 373 K which is close to the LAGP. It means that the LAGP addition contributes to the improvements of ionic conductivity not only by prohibiting crystallization but also due to its own ionic conductivity.
