surface capacity, and by the high interface resistance, which results in low rate and
cyclic performance. In this contribution, we propose and demonstrate a synergistic
all-composite approach to fabricating flexible all-solid-state LIBs. PEO-based
composite cathode layers (filled with LiFePO4 particles) of ∼300 μm in thickness
and composite electrolyte layers (filled with Al-LLZTO particles) are stacked layer-
by-layer with lithium foils as negative layer and hot-pressed into a monolithic all-
solid-state LIB. The flexible LIB delivers a high specific discharge capacity of 155
mAh/g, which corresponds to an ultrahigh surface capacity of 10.8 mAh/cm2,
exhibits excellent capacity retention up to at least 10 cycles and could work properly
under harsh operating conditions such as bending or being sectioned into pieces.
The all-composite approach is favorable for improving both mesoscopic and microscopic interfaces inside the all-solid-state LIB
and may provide a new toolbox for design and fabrication of all-solid-state LIBs.

For the assembly of all-solid-state LIBs, Au was sputtered on one
side of the composite cathode layer as current collector. A composite
electrolyte layer of ∼70 μm in thickness was then screen printed on
the other side of the composite cathode layer. To control the
uniformity of the electrolyte, a steel plate with a hole was installed in
the screen printer and the composite cathode was placed under the
hole. After the electrolyte slurry flowed through the hole, a uniform
electrolyte layer was obtained. The composite electrolyte layer was
dried in vacuum oven at 60 °C. Finally, a lithium foil of ∼100 μm in
thickness was attached on top of the composite electrolyte layer as
anode layer in an argon-filled glovebox. The schematic illustration for

because of the large thickness of composite cathode layer in the
all-solid-state LIB, an ultrahigh high per area loading of active
cathode materials is achieved, giving rise to a significantly
enhanced surface capacity of 10.6 mAh/cm2, which is an
enhancement of ∼380% over that obtained in previous all-solid-
state batteries.16 However, the charge and discharge curves for
other batteries showed very large polarization because of
relative low ionic or electronic conductivity and the capacity
performance was unsatisfactory. The discharge performance for
first ten cycles of batteries assembled with different composite
cathodes is shown in Figure 7b. It can be observed that the #30
battery shows almost no capacity during cycling. This may be
ascribed to the low electronic conductivity of the composite

conductivity, very few active cathode materials can be utilized in
this battery. As the content of polymer in composite cathode
