Abstract

Abstract: Solid‐state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) have attracted considerable attention as one of the most promising energy storage systems owing to their high safety and energy density. Solid electrolytes, particularly polymer‐based composite solid electrolytes (CSEs), are considered promising electrolyte candidates for SSLMBs. However, their wide application is inhibited by various electrochemical issues, such as low ionic conductivity, the growth of lithium dendrites, and poor cycling stability, which are related to interface issues within SSLMBs. In this review, the parameters related to various interfaces in the CSE of SSLMBs, including the interfaces between the polymer matrix and inorganic fillers, between the CSEs and the cathode, and between the CSEs and the lithium metal anode, are examined. Relevant issues and corresponding remediation strategies are proposed. Finally, future perspectives based on interfacial engineering and the characterization of polymer/inorganic filler interactions are proposed for building high‐performance CSEs for use in SSLMBs.
