A 3 µm-Ultrathin Hybrid Electrolyte Membrane with Integrative Architecture for All-Solid-State Lithium Metal Batteries

Ultrathin all-solid-state electrolytes with an excellent Li⁺ transport behavior are highly desirable for developing high-energy-density solid-state lithium metal batteries. However, how to balance the electrochemical performance and their mechanical properties remains a huge challenge. Herein, an ultrathin solid electrolyte membrane with a thickness of only 3 µm and a weight of 11.7 g m⁻² is well constructed by integrating individual functionalized organic with inorganic modules. Impressively, the optimized hybrid electrolyte membrane shows a set of merits including a high room-temperature ionic conductivity of 1.77 × 10⁻⁴ S cm⁻¹, large Li⁺ transference number of 0.65, and strong mechanical strength (strength of 29 MPa, elongation of 95%), as well as negligible thermal shrink at 180 °C. The analysis results reveal that the lithium sulfonate-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles in the membrane play a crucial role in the selective transport of Li⁺ through anion trapping and cation exchange. The pouch full cell is further assembled with a high-voltage NCM cathode and thin lithium anode, which exhibits excellent long-term cycling stability, outstanding rate performance at room temperature, and high safety against abused conditions. The current work provides an innovative strategy for achieving lithium metal batteries with ultrathin all-solid-state electrolytes.     

Construction of Stable Li2O-Rich Solid Electrolyte Interphase for Practical PEO-Based Li-Metal Batteries

Polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPE) have garnered recognition as highly promising candidates for advanced lithium-metal batteries. However, the practical application of PEO-based SPE is hindered by its low critical current density (CCD) resulting from undesired dendrite growth. In this study, a PEO-based SPE that exhibits an ultra-high CCD (4 mA cm⁻²) is presented and enhanced lithium ionic conductivity through the incorporation of small amounts of P₂S₅ (PS). The crystalline Li₂O-rich and P/S-containing solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is revealed by cryo-electron microscope (cryo-EM) and Time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), which inhibits dendrite growth and adverse reactions between SPE and reductive lithium, thus offering a spherical growth behavior for dendrite-free lithium metal anode. Consequently, utilizing the PS-integrated SPE, a Li-Li symmetric cell demonstrates reduced resistance during operation, enabling stable cycles exceeding 200 hours at 0.5 mA cm⁻² and 0.5 mAh cm⁻², a stringent test condition for PEO-based electrolytes. Moreover, a Li/SPE/LiFePO₄ (LFP) pouch cell exhibits 80% capacity retention after 100 cycles with 50 µm Li and 30 µm PEO electrolyte, showcasing its potential for practical applications.     

Self-Regulating Interfacial Space Charge through Polyanion Repulsion Effect towards Dendrite-Free Polymer Lithium-Metal Batteries

Uncontrolled transport of anions leads to many issues, including concentration polarization, excessive interface side reactions, and space charge-induced lithium dendrites at the anode/electrolyte interface, which severely deteriorates the cycling stability of lithium metal batteries. Herein, an asymmetrical polymer electrolyte modified by a boron-containing single-ion conductor (LiPVAOB), is designed to inhibit the nonuniform aggregation of free anions in the vicinity of the lithium anode through the repulsion effect improving the lithium-ion transference number to 0.63. This LiPVAOB exerts a repulsion interaction with free anions even at a long distance and a selective effect for free anions transport, which diminishes uneven aggregation of free anions at the interface and suppresses space charges-induced lithium dendrites growth. Consequently, the assembled Li||Li cell delivers an ultra-long cycle for over 5400 h. The Li||LiFePO₄ cell exhibits outstanding cycle performance with a capacity retention of 93% over 4500 cycles. In particular, the assembled high-voltage Li||Li_1.2Ni_0.2Mn_0.6O₂ cell (charged to 4.8 V) exhibits good cycle stability with a high specific capacity of 245 mAh g⁻¹. This designed polymer electrolyte provides a promising strategy for regulating ion transport to inhibit space charge-induced lithium dendrite growth for high-performance lithium metal batteries.     

High-Areal-Capacity and Long-Cycle-Life All-Solid-State Lithium-Metal Battery by Mixed-Conduction Interface Layer

The rapid growth of lithium dendrites has seriously hindered the development and practical application of high-energy-density all-solid-state lithium metal batteries (ASSLMBs). Herein, a soft carbon (SC)-nano Li_6.4La₃Zr_1.4Ta_0.6O₁₂ (LLZTO) (with high ionic conductivity and diffusion coefficient) mixed ionic and electronic conducting interface layer is designed to promote the rapid migration of Li⁺ at the interfacial layer, induce the uniform deposition of lithium metal on nanoscale (nano) LLZTO ion-conducting network inside the interface layer, effectively suppress the growth of lithium dendrites, and significantly improve the electrochemical performance of ASSLMBs. LiZrO₂@LiCoO₂(LZO@LCO)/Li₆PS₅Cl(LPSCl)-nano LLZTO/Li ASSLMB achieves high current density (12.5 mA cm⁻²), ultra-high areal capacity (15 mAh cm⁻², corresponding to LZO@LCO mass loadings of 111.11 mg cm⁻²), and ultra-long cycle life (20 000 cycles). Therefore, the introduction of SC-nano LLZTO mixed conducting interface layer can greatly improve the interfacial stability between solid-state electrolyte (SSE) and lithium metal anode to enable dendrite-free ASSLMBs.     

Understanding the Reactivity of a Thin Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5(PO4)3 Solid‐State Electrolyte toward Metallic Lithium Anode

The thickness of solid‐state electrolytes (SSEs) significantly affects the energy density and safety performance of all‐solid‐state lithium batteries. However, a sufficient understanding of the reactivity toward lithium metal of ultrathin SSEs (<100 µm) based on NASICON remains lacking. Herein, for the first time, a self‐standing and ultrathin (70 µm) NASICON‐type Li_1.5Al_0.5Ge_1.5(PO₄)₃ (LAGP) electrolyte via a scalable solution process is developed, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals that changes in LAGP at the metastable Li–LAGP interface during battery operation is temperature dependent. Severe germanium reduction and decrease in LAGP particle size are detected at the Li–LAGP interface at elevated temperature. Oriented plating of lithium metal on its preferred (110) face occurs during in situ X‐ray diffraction cycling.     

Interrelation Between External Pressure,SEI Structure,and Electrodeposit Morphology in an Anode-Free Lithium Metal Battery

The interrelation is explored between external pressure (0.1, 1, and 10 MPa), solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) structure/morphology, and lithium metal plating/stripping behavior. To simulate anode-free lithium metal batteries (AF-LMBs) analysis is performed on “empty” Cu current collectors in standard carbonate electrolyte. Lower pressure promotes organic-rich SEI and macroscopically heterogeneous, filament-like Li electrodeposits interspersed with pores. Higher pressure promotes inorganic F-rich SEI with more uniform and denser Li film. A “seeding layer” of lithiated pristine graphene (pG@Cu) favors an anion-derived F-rich SEI and promotes uniform metal electrodeposition, enabling extended electrochemical stability at a lower pressure. State-of-the-art electrochemical performance is achieved at 1MPa: pG-enabled half-cell is stable after 300 h (50 cycles) at 1 mA cm⁻² rate −3 mAh cm⁻² capacity (17.5 µm plated/stripped), with cycling Coulombic efficiency (CE) of 99.8%. AF-LMB cells with high mass loading NMC622 cathode (21 mg cm⁻²) undergo 200 cycles with a CE of 99.4% at C/5-charge and C/2-discharge (1C = 178 mAh g⁻¹). Density functional theory (DFT) highlights the differences in the adsorption energy of solvated-Li⁺ onto various crystal planes of Cu (100), (110), and (111), versus lithiated/delithiated (0001) graphene, giving insight regarding the role of support surface energetics in promoting SEI heterogeneity.     

An Aqueous Rechargeable Al-Ion Battery Based on Cobalt Hexacyanoferrate and Al Metal

Like other aqueous batteries, aqueous rechargeable Al-ion batteries (ARAIBs) have attracted much attention due to their high safety and low cost. However, the low energy density of ARAIBs limits its popularization and application. In order to solve this problem, in addition to choosing Al metal as the negative electrode, it is also necessary to choose a suitable positive electrode material. Here, a cubic phase cobalt hexacyanoferrate (CoHCF) with excellent rate and cycling performance is used as the positive electrode material. Due to the reversible catalysis of the Cl⁻/Cl⁰ reaction at high potential in saturated AlCl₃ solution, it has the characteristics of high capacity up to 103.5 mAh g⁻¹. Combined with the Al metal as negative electrode, an ARAIB with an average discharge voltage of 1.56 V and an energy density of 155 Wh kg⁻¹ is constructed, which shows outstanding cycling and rate performances.     

Ultrathin Reed Membranes: Nature's Intimate Ion-Regulation Skins Safeguarding Zinc Metal Anodes in Aqueous Batteries

The practical realization of aqueous zinc-ion batteries relies crucially on effective interphases governing Zn electrodeposition chemistry. In this study, an innovative solution by introducing an ultrathin (≈2 µm) biomass membrane as an intimate artificial interface, functioning as nature's ion-regulation skin to protect zinc metal anodes is proposed. Capitalizing on the inherent properties of natural reed membrane, including multiscale ion transport tunnels, abundant ─OH groups, and remarkable mechanical integrity, the reed membrane demonstrates efficacy in regulating uniform and rapid Zn²⁺ transport, promoting desolvation, and governing Zn (002) plane electrodeposition. Importantly, a unique in situ electrochemical Zn─O bond formation mechanism between the reed membrane and Zn electrode upon cycling is elucidated, resulting in a robustly adhered interface covering on the zinc anode surface, ultimately ensuring remarkable dendrite-free and highly reversible Zn anodes. Consequently, the approach achieves a prolonged cycle life for over 1450 h at 3 mA cm⁻²/1.5 mAh cm⁻² in symmetric Zn//Zn cells. Moreover, exceptional cyclic performance (88.95%, 4000 cycles) is obtained in active carbon-based cells with an active mass loading of 5.8 mg cm⁻². The approach offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly strategy for achieving stable and reversible zinc anodes for aqueous batteries.     

Uniform High Ionic Conducting Lithium Sulfide Protection Layer for Stable Lithium Metal Anode

Artificial solid‐electrolyte interphase (SEI) is one of the key approaches in addressing the low reversibility and dendritic growth problems of lithium metal anode, yet its current effect is still insufficient due to insufficient stability. Here, a new principle of “simultaneous high ionic conductivity and homogeneity” is proposed for stabilizing SEI and lithium metal anodes. Fabricated by a facile, environmentally friendly, and low‐cost lithium solid‐sulfur vapor reaction at elevated temperature, a designed lithium sulfide protective layer successfully maintains its protection function during cycling, which is confirmed by both simulations and experiments. Stable dendrite‐free cycling of lithium metal anode is realized even at a high areal capacity of 5 mAh cm^?2, and prototype Li–Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ cell with limited lithium also achieves 900 stable cycles. These findings give new insight into the ideal SEI composition and structure and provide new design strategies for stable lithium metal batteries.     

Carbon‐Sheathed MoS2 Nanothorns Epitaxially Grown on CNTs: Electrochemical Application for Highly Stable and Ultrafast Lithium Storage

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂), which possesses a layered structure and exhibits a high theoretical capacity, is currently under intensive research as an anode candidate for next generation of Li‐ion batteries. However, unmodified MoS₂ suffers from a poor cycling stability and an inferior rate capability upon charge/discharge processes. Herein, a unique nanocomposite comprising MoS₂ nanothorns epitaxially grown on the backbone of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and coated by a layer of amorphous carbon is synthesized via a simple method. The epitaxial growth of MoS₂ on CNTs results in a strong chemical coupling between active nanothorns and carbon substrate via C? S bond, providing a high stability as well as a high‐efficiency electron‐conduction/ion‐transportation system on cycling. The outer carbon layer can well‐accommodate the structural strain in the electrode upon lithium‐ion insertion/extraction. When employed as an anode for lithium storage, the prepared material exhibits remarkable electrochemical properties with a high specific capacity of 982 mA h g^?1 at 0.1 A g^?1, as well as excellent long‐cycling stability (905 mA h g^?1 at 1 A g^?1 after 500 cycles) and superior rate capability, confirming its potential application in high‐performance Li‐ion batteries.     

Unveiling The Mechanism of The Dendrite Nucleation and Growth in Aqueous Zinc Ion Batteries

Aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) exhibit great potential for next-generation energy storage devices. However, significant challenges exist, including the uncontrollable formation of Zn dendrite and side reactions during zinc stripping and plating. The mechanism of Zn dendrite nucleation has yet to be fully understood. In this work, the first principles simulations are used to investigate the Zn dendrite formation process. The unintentionally adsorbed O²⁻ and OH⁻ ions are the inducing factors for Zn dendrite nucleation and growth on the Zn (0001) plane due to significantly increased Zn diffusion barriers. A top-down method is demonstrated to suppress the dendrite using delaminated V₂CT_x to capture O²⁻ and OH⁻ ions thanks to reduced Zn diffusion barriers. The experimental results revealed significantly suppressed Zn dendrite nucleation and growth, resulting in a layer-by-layer deposit/stripping of Zn. Based on the electrochemical evaluations, the V₂CT_x-coated Zn composite delivers a high coulombic efficiency of 99.3% at 1.0 mAh cm⁻². Furthermore, the full cell achieves excellent cyclic performance of 93.6% capacity retention after 2000 cycles at 1 A g⁻¹. This strategy has broad scalability and can be widely applied in designing metallic anodes for rechargeable batteries.     

The Fast Charge Transfer Kinetics of the Lithium Metal Anode on the Garnet‐Type Solid Electrolyte Li6.25Al0.25La3Zr2O12

The charge transfer kinetics between a lithium metal electrode and an inorganic solid electrolyte is of key interest to assess the rate capability of future lithium metal solid state batteries. In an in situ microelectrode study run in a scanning electron microscope, it is demonstrated that—contrary to the prevailing opinion—the intrinsic charge transfer resistance of the Li|Li_6.25Al_0.25La₃Zr₂O₁₂ (LLZO) interface is in the order of 10^?1 Ω cm² and thus negligibly small. The corresponding high exchange current density in combination with the single ion transport mechanism (t⁺ ≈ 1) of the inorganic solid electrolyte enables extremely fast plating kinetics without the occurrence of transport limitations. Local plating rates in the range of several A cm^?2 are demonstrated at defect free and chemically clean Li|LLZO interfaces. Practically achievable current densities are limited by lateral growth of lithium along the surface as well as electro‐chemo‐mechanical‐induced fracture of the solid electrolyte. In combination with the lithium vacancy diffusion limitation during electrodissolution, these morphological instabilities are identified as the key fundamental limitations of the lithium metal electrode for solid‐state batteries with inorganic solid electrolytes.     

Non-Sacrificial Additive Enables a Non-Passivating Cathode Interface for 4.6 V Li||LiCoO2 Batteries

Various electrolyte additives are developed to construct a cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer for high-voltage LiCoO₂ since the cathode suffers severe interfacial degradation when increasing the cut-off voltage over 4.55 V. However, the CEI derived from the additive sacrificial reaction faces the risk of rupture due to the corrosion reaction and the volumetric variation of the cathode. Herein, a non-passivating cathode interface is realized for 4.6 V LiCoO₂ with a non-sacrificial electrolyte additive (TBAClO₄) by regulating the solvent environment at the interface rather than the preferential decomposition for CEI formation. Owing to the novel protection mechanism, the cell performance shows little dependence on the CEI-formation process. Therefore, an ultra-high initial coulombic efficiency (96.63%) and excellent cycling stability (81% capacity retention after 300 cycles) are achieved in Li||LiCoO₂ batteries. Moreover, even with the electrolyte containing 1000 ppm H₂O, the remarkable water capture ability of the additive together with its interfacial regulation enables the 4.6 V Li||LiCoO₂ battery to retain 80% capacity after 200 cycles. This non-sacrificial strategy provides new insights into high-voltage electrolyte additive design for high-energy-density lithium metal batteries.     

Hybrid Polymer Electrolyte Encased Cathode Particles Interface-Based Core–Shell Structure for High-Performance Room Temperature All-Solid-State Batteries

A smooth interfacial contact between electrode and electrolyte, alleviation of dendrite formation, low internal resistance, and preparation of thin electrolyte (<20 µm) are the key challenging tasks in the practical application of Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂ (LLZO)-based solid-state batteries (SSBs). This paper develops a unique strategy to reduce interfacial resistance by designing an interface-based core–shell structure via direct integration of Al-LLZO ceramic nanofibers incorporated poly(vinylidene fluoride)/LiTFSI on the surface of a porous cathode electrode (HPEIC). This yields an ultrathin solid polymer electrolyte with a thickness of 7 µm. The integrated HPEIC/Li SSB with LiFePO₄/C exhibits an initial specific capacity of 166 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.1 C and 159 mAh g⁻¹ with capacity retention of 100% after 120 cycles at 0.5 C (25 °C). The HPEIC/Li SSB with LiNi_0.8Mn_0.1Co_0.1O₂ cathode delivers a good discharge capacity of 134 mAh g⁻¹ after 120 cycles at 0.5 C. The rational design of interface-based core–shell structure outperforms the conventional assembly of solid-state cells using free-standing solid electrolytes in specific capacity, internal resistance, and rate performance. The proposed strategy is simple, cost-effective, robust, and scalable manufacturing, which is essential for the practical applicability of SSBs.     

An Efficient Separator with Low Li‐Ion Diffusion Energy Barrier Resolving Feeble Conductivity for Practical Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Due to unprecedented features including high‐energy density, low cost, and light weight, lithium–sulfur batteries have been proposed as a promising successor of lithium‐ion batteries. However, unresolved detrimental low Li‐ion transport rates in traditional carbon materials lead to large energy barrier in high sulfur loading batteries, which prevents the lithium–sulfur batteries from commercialization. In this report, to overcome the challenge of increasing both the cycling stability and areal capacity, a metallic oxide composite (NiCo₂O₄@rGO) is designed to enable a robust separator with low energy barrier for Li‐ion diffusion and simultaneously provide abundant active sites for the catalytic conversion of the polar polysulfides. With a high sulfur‐loading of 6 mg cm^?2 and low sulfur/electrolyte ratio of 10, the assembled batteries deliver an initial capacity of 5.04 mAh cm^?2 as well as capacity retention of 92% after 400 cycles. The metallic oxide composite NiCo₂O₄@rGO/PP separator with low Li‐ion diffusion energy barrier opens up the opportunity for lithium–sulfur batteries to achieve long‐cycle, cost‐effective operation toward wide applications in electric vehicles and electronic devices.     

Ionically Conductive Self‐Healing Binder for Low Cost Si Microparticles Anodes in Li‐Ion Batteries

A self‐healing polymer (SHP) with abundant hydrogen bonds, appropriate viscoelasticity, and stretchability is a promising binder to improve cycle performance of Si microparticle anodes in lithium (Li) ion batteries. Besides high capacity and long cycle life, efficient rate performance is strongly desirable for practical Si anode implementation. Here, polyethylene glycol (PEG) groups are incorporated into the SHP, facilitating Li ionic conduction within the binder. The concept of the SHP‐PEG binder involves improving the interface between Si microparticles and electrolytes after cycling based on the combination of self‐healing ability and fast Li ionic conduction. Through the systematic study of mixing PEG Mw and ratio, the polymeric binder combining SHP and PEG with M_w 750 in an optimal ratio of 60:40 (mol%) achieves a high discharging capacity of ≈2600 mA h g^?1, reasonable rate performance especially when >1C and maintains 80% of their initial capacity even after ≈150 cycles at 0.5C. The described concept for the polymeric binder, embedding both self‐healing ability and high Li ionic conductivity, should be equally useful for next generation batteries utilizing high capacity materials which suffer from huge volume change during cycling.     

Unraveling the Dual Functionality of High‐Donor‐Number Anion in Lean‐Electrolyte Lithium‐Sulfur Batteries

Minimizing electrolyte use is essential to achieve high practical energy density of lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. However, the sulfur cathode is more readily passivated under a lean electrolyte condition, resulting in low sulfur utilization. In addition, continuous electrolyte decomposition on the Li metal anode aggravates the problem, provoking rapid capacity decay. In this work, the dual functionalities of NO₃^? as a high‐donor‐number (DN) salt anion is presented, which improves the sulfur utilization and cycling stability of lean‐electrolyte Li–S batteries. The NO₃^? anion elevates the solubility of the sulfur species based on its high electron donating ability, achieving a high sulfur utilization of above 1200 mA h g^?1. Furthermore, the anion suppresses electrolyte decomposition on the Li metal by regulating the lithium ion (Li⁺) solvation sheath, enhancing the cycle performance of the lean electrolyte cell. By understanding the anionic effects, this work demonstrates the potential of the high‐DN electrolyte, which is beneficial for both the cathode and anode of Li–S batteries.     

Constructing Multifunctional Interphase between Li1.4Al0.4Ti1.6(PO4)3 and Li Metal by Magnetron Sputtering for Highly Stable Solid‐State Lithium Metal Batteries

Due to high ionic conductivity and low cost, Li_1.4Al_0.4Ti_1.6(PO₄)₃ (LATP) has emerged as a promising solid‐state electrolyte for next‐generation lithium (Li) metal solid‐state batterie with high safety performance and energy density. However, the extremely high impedance and surface instability of LATP with Li metal retard its practical application. Herein, a novel method is proposed to construct an ultrathin ZnO layer that is tightly coated on the LATP pellets, surface (ZnO@LATP) via magnetron sputtering, which in situ reacts with Li to form a low electronic conductivity and multifunctional solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). The formed SEI can not only effectively lower the interfacial resistance, but also overcome the side reactions of LATP with the Li metal anode and suppress the Li dendrite growth. Specifically, the interface resistance decreases from 80 554 to 353 Ω and the overpotential reduces from 1 V to 20 mV. As a result, the Li/ZnO@LATP@ZnO/Li symmetric batteries can stably cycle for more than 2000 h without short circuit at 0.05 mA cm^?2 and Li/ZnO@LATP/LiFePO₄ batteries show excellent cycle stability for 200 cycles at 0.1 C. This work highlights the significance of multifunctional interphase between LATP and Li metal for improvement of interfacial impedance and instability.     

In Situ Generation of Artificial Solid‐Electrolyte Interphases on 3D Conducting Scaffolds for High‐Performance Lithium‐Metal Anodes

Rational structure design of the current collector along with further engineering of the solid‐electrolyte interphases (SEI) layer is one of the most promising strategies to achieve uniform Li deposition and inhibit uncontrolled growth of Li dendrites. Here, a Li₂S layer as an artificial SEI with high compositional uniformity and high lithium ion conductivity is in situ generated on the surface of the 3D porous Cu current collector to regulate homogeneous Li plating/stripping. Both simulations and experiments demonstrate that the Li₂S protective layer can passivate the porous Cu skeleton and balance the transport rate of lithium ions and electrons, thereby alleviating the agglomerated Li deposition at the top of the electrode or at the defect area of the SEI layer. As a result, the modified current collector exhibits long‐term cycling of 500 cycles at 1 mA cm^?2 and stable electrodeposition capabilities of 4 mAh cm^?2 at an ultrahigh current density of 4 mA cm^?2. Furthermore, full batteries (LiFePO₄ as cathode) paired with this designed 3D anode with only ≈200% extra lithium show superior stability and rate performance than the batteries paired with lithium foil (≈3000% extra lithium). These explorations provide new strategies for developing high‐performance Li metal anodes.     

Hybrid Lithium‐Sulfur Batteries with an Advanced Gel Cathode and Stabilized Lithium‐Metal Anode

The insulating nature of sulfur, polysulfide shuttle effect, and lithium‐metal deterioration cause a decrease in practical energy density and fast capacity fade in lithium‐sulfur (Li‐S) batteries. This study presents an integrated strategy for the development of hybrid Li‐S batteries based on a gel sulfur cathode, a solid electrolyte, and a protective anolyte composed of a highly concentrated salt electrolyte containing mixed additives. The dense solid electrolyte completely blocks polysulfide diffusion, and also makes it possible to investigate the cathode and anode independently. This gel cathode effectively traps the polysulfide active material while maintaining a low electrolyte to sulfur ratio of 5.2 mL g^?1. The anolyte effectively protects the Li metal and suppresses the consumption of liquid electrolyte, enabling stable long‐term cycling for over 700 h in Li symmetric cells. This advanced design can simultaneously suppress the polysulfide shuttle, protect Li metal, and reduce the liquid electrolyte usage. The assembled hybrid batteries exhibit remarkably stable cycling performance over 300 cycles with high capacity. Finally, surface‐sensitive techniques are carried out to directly visualize and probe the interphase formed on the surface of the Li_1.5Al_0.5Ge_1.5(PO₄)₃ (LAGP) pellet, which may help stabilize the solid–liquid interface.
