batteries (ASSBs) using the inorganic SSE and Li-metal anode still experience issues with dendrite penetration and associated early short-circuit during battery operation. [11][12][13][14] So far, considerable efforts have been devoted to elucidating the underlying mechanisms of this early failure of ASSBs. [15][16][17][18] It is generally acknowledged that the dynamic morphological evolution at the Li/SSE interface can remarkably influence the electrochemical performance of ASSBs. [17,[19][20][21][22][23] In specific, during striping, Li atoms at the Li/SSE interface dissolve into SSE, and meanwhile, the diffusion of Li atoms in Li metal replenishes the Li loss from the interface. Since the rate of Li striping usually exceeds the diffusion limit of Li atoms, the Kirkendall voids will initiate and grow at the interface, leading to the loss of interfacial contact and increased cell impedance. [20,24,25] The morphological degradation becomes even worse during the subsequent plating. Li prefers to deposit at the regions still contacted with SSE instead of the detached areas, which develops a nonuniform deposition at the interface that further promotes the nucleation and growth of Li dendrites as well as the short-circuit of ASSBs. [22,26] An effective strategy to inhibit morphological degradation at the Li/SSE interface is applying an external stack pressure on ASSBs. [20][21][22] With the pressure, Li metal near the interface can mechanically deform through creep, offering another route to replenish the Li loss and thus prevent the void formation. [21,27] Nevertheless, the practical adoption of this strategy is limited by a strict constraint from the "critical stack pressure." [20] In specific, the applied pressure has to be higher than the "critical stack pressure" to effectively suppress the morphological degradation at the interface. Otherwise, the mechanical deformation will be slower than the electrochemical deformation caused by Li stripping, leading to an insufficient Li replenishment to the interface. In this case, the voids will still form at the interface, followed by the nucleation and growth of Li dendrites (Figure 1a). It should be noticed that the "critical stack pressure" can reach several MPa for the ASSBs cycled under relatively low current density (e.g., 7.5 MPa for the Li/garnet/ Li cell cycled under 0.2 mA cm -2 ). [20,21,28] This high stack pressure is out of range of the current LIB operation platform (0.1-1.0 MPa) [29] and also sets constraints on the robustness of SSE and thus the broad adoption of viable SSE. [29] Moreover, it is possible that the pressure of this magnitude acts as one Morphological degradation at the Li/solid-state electrolyte (SSE) interface is a prevalent issue causing performance fading of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). To maintain the interfacial integrity, most ASSBs are operated under low current density with considerable stack pressure, which significantly limits their widespread usage. Herein, a novel 3D-micropatterned SSE (3D-SSE) that can stabilize the morpho...
