Lithium (Li) metal, possessing an extremely high theoretical specific capacity (3860 mAh/g) and the most negative electrode potential (-3.040 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode), is one the most favorable anode materials for future high-energy-density batteries. However, the poor cyclability and safety issues induced by extremely unstable interfaces of traditional liquid Li metal batteries have limited their practical applications. Herein, a quasi-solid battery is constructed to offer superior interfacial stability as well as excellent interfacial contact by the incorporation of Li@composite solid electrolyte integrated electrode and a limited amount of liquid electrolyte (7.5 μL/cm²). By combining the inorganic garnet Aldoped Li_6.75La₃Zr_1.75Ta_0.25O₁₂ (LLZO) with high mechanical strength and ionic conductivity and the organic ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) with good flexibility, the composite solid electrolyte film could provide sufficient ion channels, sustained interfacial contact and good mechanical stability at the anode side, which significantly alleviates the thermodynamic corrosion and safety problems induced by liquid electrolytes. This innovative and facile quasi-solid strategy is aimed to promote the intrinsic safety and stability of working Li metal anode, shedding light on the development of next-generation high-performance Li metal batteries.
