The electrochemical properties of the elastic solid-state polymer electrolyte are investigated using CR2032 coin cells assembled in an Ar-filled glovebox. For the assembly process, the LFP cathodes are used as working electrodes lithium metal is used as the anode, and Celgard 3500 (Celgard LLC, Concord, NC, USA) is used as the separator. The precursor is injected into the separator and the cells are packaged immediately. After that, the assembled cells are heated at 70 °C for 2 h to generate the in situ polymerized LZT/SN-SPE (or SN-SPE). Due to the liquid nature of the precursor, Celgard 3500 separators are applied to all cells to prevent a short circuit in the assembled cells before polymerization. The charge/discharge experiments are carried out on a Neware Battery system with the potential ranges of 2.5–4 V at a current density of 1 C. Li||Li symmetric cells are prepared with an identical method except that LFP is replaced by Li foils (diameter of 12 mm). The Li plating/stripping experiments are measured on a Neware Battery system.
