This study reports on the fabrication of a ceramic-polymer-composite electrolyte with liquid electrolyte, consisting of Li1.3Ti1.7Al0.3(PO4)(3) (LTAPO) ceramic powder, polytetrafluoroethylene (FIFE) polymer and 1 M LiPF6 in EC/DMC liquid electrolyte. The morphologies of the LTAPO, LTAPO-PTFE, composite membrane, and LTAPO-PTFE-LiPF6-EC/DMC composite electrolyte were analyzed using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of the liquid electrolyte on the ionic conductivity of the prepared ceramic-polymer electrolyte was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The room temperature ionic conductivities of the LTAPO-PTFE-LiPF6-EC/DMC composite electrolyte and the LTAPO ceramic electrolyte exhibited 2.94 x 10(-4)S/cm and 8.36 x 10(-4)S/cm, respectively. The first charge capacity of the LTAPO-PTFE-LiPF6-EC/DMC composite electrolyte cell reached 118 mAh/g at 0.06 mA/cm(2) current density. The electrochemical performance of the ceramic-polymer-composite electrolyte cell was better than that of the ceramic solid electrolyte cell. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
