Paramount attention has been paid on solid polymer electrolytes due to their potential in enhancement of energy density as well as improvement of safety. Herein, the composite electrolytes consisting of Li-salt-free polyethylene oxides and 200 nm-sized Li(6)ALa(3)Zr(1.4)Ta(0.6)O(12) particles interfacially wetted by [BMIM]TF2N of 1.8 mu L cm(-2) have been prepared. Such wetted ionic liquid remains the solid state of membrane electrolytes and decreases the interface impedance between the electrodes and the electrolytes. There is no release of the liquid phase from the PEO matrix when the pressure of 5.0 x 10(4) Pa being applied for 24 h. The interfacially wetted membrane electrolytes show the conductivity of 2.2 x 10(-4) S cm(-1) at 20 degrees C, which is one order of magnitude greater than that of the membranes without the wetted ionic liquids. The conduction mechanism is related to a large number of lithium ions releasing from Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 particles and the improved conductive paths along the ion-liquid-wetted interfaces between the polymer matrix and ceramic grains. When the membranes being used in the solid-state LiFePO4/Li and LiPe(0.15)Mn(0.85)PO(4)/Li cells at 25 degrees C, the excellent rate capability and superior cycle stability has been shown. The results provide a new prospect for solid polymer electrolytes used for room-temperature solid-state lithium batteries.
