Abstract

Abstract Ceramic/polymer hybrid solid electrolytes (HSEs) have attracted worldwide attentions because they can overcome defects by combining the advantages of ceramic electrolytes (CEs) and solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs). However, the interface compatibility of CEs and SPEs in HSE limits their full function to a great extent. Herein, a flexible ceramic/polymer HSE is prepared via in situ coupling reaction. Ceramic and polymer are closely combined by strong chemical bonds, thus the problem of interface compatibility is resolved and the ions can transport rapidly by an expressway. The as‐prepared membrane demonstrates an ionic conductivity of 9.83 × 10 −4 S cm −1 at room temperature and a high Li + transference numbers of 0.68. This in situ coupling reaction method provides an effective way to resolve the problem of interface compatibility.
