In solid-state lithium (Li)-metal batteries (SSLMBs), sulfide-based Li-ion conductors represent one of the most popular solid electrolytes (SEs). However, the development of sulfide-based SSLMBs is significantly hampered by interfacial issues including large solid-solid contact resistance and serious side reactions at the SE/electrode interface. To address these issues, here, we demonstrated a simple and efficient strategy by using LiCl-rich argyrodite Li₆PS₅Cl (Li₆PS₅Cl-LiCl) SE and trace amount of propylene carbonate (PC) at the SE/electrode interface to facilitate the formation of stable and robust solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). Additionally, the formed SEI not only serves as a buffer layer to passivate the interfacial reactions and suppress Li dendrite growth, but also acts as a bridge for Li-ion conduction to reduce the contact resistance. As a result, the Li||Li symmetric cell exhibited long-term electrochemical cycling stability over 1000 h at a current density of 0.2 mA cm^-2. Furthermore, the assembled Li||Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ (LTO) batteries delivered a specific capacity of 175 mAh g–1 at 0.2 C, and remained an excellent specific capacity of 116 mAh g^–1 after 200 cycles at a high current rate of 1 C. These features indicate a feasible strategy to enhance the interfacial property of high-performance SSLMBs.
