Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrolyte materials, specifically to a multilayer composite solid electrolyte membrane, its preparation method, and the solid-state battery prepared therefrom. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of science and technology, solid-state batteries are considered a strong candidate for next-generation energy storage technology due to their high safety and high energy density. Solid-state electrolytes are the core component of solid-state batteries, determining the battery's ion conductivity, interface stability, and cycle life.
