Abstract

Composite solid-state electrolytes (CSSEs) are one of the effective strategies to address the safety hazards of liquid electrolytes and the low ionic conductivity of polymer electrolytes. However, the mismatch in ion transport capability between the inorganic filler and the polymer matrix often leads to uneven Na flux distribution, and the side reactions at the electrolyte/electrode interface easily induce sodium dendrite growth. To address these issues, this work designs a solid-state electrolyte by incorporating NASICON-type Na3Zr2Si2PO12 (NZSPO) particles into a poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) matrix. This design effectively promotes homogeneous Na migration, enabling the optimized PN@NZSPO-30% CSSE to achieve an ionic conductivity of 3.83 × 10−4 S cm−1 and a Na transference number of 0.56 at room temperature. Meanwhile, the PVDF matrix forms a stable interfacial structure upon contact with the sodium metal anode, effectively suppressing dendrite growth. The Na//PN@NZSPO-30%//Na symmetric cell achieves stable cycling for 50 to 200 h under different current densities, and the Na//PN@NZSPO-30%//NVP full cell exhibits a capacity retention of 95.8% after 100 cycles at 1 C, along with excellent rate reversibility in the range of 0.1-1 C. This study provides a new approach for constructing solid-state sodium metal batteries with high performance and suppressed sodium dendrite growth.
