Poly(ethylene oxide) based solid composite electrolytes suffer from poor conductivity and lithium dendrite growth, especially toward the metallic lithium metal anode. In our recent work, we focus on the fabrication and comprehensive characterization of performance-enhanced PEO-based composite electrolytes for lithium batteries. Advanced nano-focus X-ray scattering techniques were used to investigate the interfacial behavior within the lithium metal battery, as well as its failure mechanisms. With the modification of plasticizer, the electrolyte exhibit good electrochemical performance and interfacial compatibility. However, the reference electrolyte exhibit early dendrite formation from the lithium surface into the electrolyte, leading to persistent structures that degrade performance. The results highlight the potential of these fabrication and analysis methods, demonstrating their application in advancing lithium battery technologies and contributing to the development of cutting-edge characterization techniques.
