Perovskite Li_3x La_2/3-x TiO3 (LLTO) nanofibers have been heat-treated in the hydrogen-containing atmosphere and then incorporated with the poly(vinylidene fluoride)-co-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) polymer to form a composite electrolyte. Hydrogen treatment has created oxygen vacancies in the LLTO nanofibers, which has reduced the activation energy of Li ion transport along intra-grains and inter-grains, leading to improvement in the ion conductivity of LLTO nanofibers. Hydrogen treatment of the LLTO nanofibers has also enhanced the chemical interaction between the LLTO nanofibers and the polymer matrix in the composite electrolyte, and favored the Li ion transport at the nanofiber/polymer interface, improving the ion conductivity of the composite electrolyte to 3.4×10-⁴ S/cm at room temperature. As a result, the Li|composite-electrolyte|Li half-cell exhibits good stability during lithium plating/stripping cycling at room temperature, showing an overpotential of ~91 mV at a constant current density of 0.5 mA/cm². Finally, the full-cell battery with the composite electrolyte, lithium metal anode and lithium iron phosphate cathode shows excellent rate capacity and cycling performance.
