In Situ Construction of Dual‐Functional UiO‐66‐NH <sub>2</sub> Coated Li <sub>1.3</sub> Al <sub>0.3</sub> Ti <sub>1.7</sub> (PO <sub>4</sub> ) <sub>3</sub> to Achieve Lithium Metal Cells with Efficient Ion Transport in Quasi‐Solid Electrolytes
The NASICON-type Li<sub>1.3</sub>Al<sub>0.3</sub>Ti<sub>1.7</sub>(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub> (LATP) is a promising solid-state electrolyte for lithium batteries due to its high lithium-ion conductivity and air stability. However, its practical application in composite solid polymer electrolytes (CSPEs) is limited by high interfacial impedance, the polymer's inherently low lithium-ion (Li<sup>+</sup>) conductivity, and side reactions with lithium metal electrodes. U66N@LATP with a core-shell structure is synthesized by growing UiO-66-NH<sub>2</sub> in situ on LATP nanoparticles and incorporating it into the PVDF-HFP matrix to address these issues. The UiO-66-NH<sub>2</sub> coating protects LATP from reacting with lithium metal electrodes and enhances Li<sup>+</sup> transport by providing a high Li<sup>+</sup> concentration environment. The U66N@LATP-based Li-symmetric cell exhibits superior stability in long-cycle tests (>1000 h, 0.2 mA cm<sup>-2</sup>) compared to the sample without the core-shell structure. The assembled LiFePO<sub>4</sub> (LFP)|CSPE|Li cell maintains a discharge capacity of 105.7 mAh g<sup>-1</sup> with 93.8% capacity retention over 1500 cycles at 10 C. A pouch cell further validates the practical potential of U66N@LATP/CSPE in solid-state lithium batteries. This study offers a simple and efficient core-shell architecture design strategy to mitigate LATP side reactions and reduce the interfacial impedance, thereby improving the overall performance of the electrolyte system.
