Replacing organic liquid electrolyte with solid electrolyte is considered to be the most promising method to solve the safety problem of lithium battery. However, the low ionic conductivity limits the practical application of solid electrolyte. Solid electrolyte Li3xLa2/3-xTiO3(LLTO) with vertically aligned and oriented structures was successfully prepared by improved electrospinning method. The ionic conductivity of the composite solid elec-trolyte with vertical aligned and oriented structures is as high as 4.67 x 10-4 S/cm at room temperature (25 celcius). The sintering process system of LLTO with vertical aligned and oriented structures was also determined. The vertically oriented composite solid-state electrolyte has wide electrochemical window (0-6 V) and high Li+ transference number(0.796). At a current density of 0.1 mA/cm2, the Li/CSSE/Li symmetrical lithium battery has a constant current cycle of more than 700 h at room temperature. The experimental results of Li+ stripping experiment also show that the composite solid-state electrolyte filled with organic materials has good electro-chemical stability. Based on the above experimental results, it is proved that this vertically arranged composite solid-state electrolyte framework plays an important role in constructing fast ion conduction channels and improving ion conductivity.
