The practical application of solid polymer electrolytes in high-energy Li metal batteries is hindered by Li dendrites, electrochemical instability and insufficient ion conductance. To address these issues, flexible composite polymer electrolyte (CPE) membranes with three dimensional (3D) aramid nanofiber (ANF) frameworks are facilely fabricated by filling polyethylene oxide (PEO)-lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulphonyl)imide (LiTFSI) electrolyte into 3D ANF scaffolds. Because of the unique composite structure design and the continuous ion conduction at the 3D ANF framework/PEO-LiTFSI interfaces, the CPE membranes show higher mechanical strength (10.0 MPa), thermostability, electrochemical stability (4.6 V at 60°C) and ionic conductivity than the pristine PEO-LiTFSI electrolyte. Thus, the CPEs display greatly improved interfacial stability against Li dendrites (≥1000 h at 30°C under 0.10 mA cm −2), compared with the pristine electrolyte (short circuit in 13 h). The CPE-based all-solid-state LiFePO 4 /Li cells also exhibit superior cycling performance (e.g., 130 mA h g −1 with 93% retention after 100 cycles at 0.4 C) than the ANF-free cells (e.g., 82 mA h g −1 with 66% retention). This work offers a simple and effective way to achieve high-performance composite electrolyte membranes with 3D nanofiller framework for promising solid-state Li metal battery applications.
