Abstract: A PEO-LATP/LAGP composite electrolyte for lithium batteries was designed and prepared. Uniformly composite electrolyte membrane with thickness of 20 μm was obtained by assembling Li1.4Al0.4Ti1.6(PO4)3 (LATP) or Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5(PO4)3 (LAGP) as ceramic substrate and PEO as binder. Highest room-temperature conductivities were achieved for the sample prepared with w(ceramics):w(PEO)=7:3. Electrochemical analysis showed that the conductivity reached 0.186 mS/cm for PEO-LATP and 0.111 mS/cm for PEO-LAGP. Cycling performances of  170 mAh/g was obtained for the first discharge capacity of the Li/composite electrolyte/LiCo1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3O2 cell. Sharp decrease of cycling capacity was observed for the cell using PEO-LATP membrane. The cycling performance of the PEO-LAGP based cell was greatly improved with 150 mAh/g remained after 10 cycles.
