Side reactions between electrolyte and anode hinder the application of solid-state batteries. Here, a polymer-containing composite solid-state electrolyte (LiPSCl@PCSSE) was obtained through in situ polymerization on Li6PS5Cl. The novel electrolyte was indicated to inhibit side reactions, and the pouch cell showed excellent performance, demonstrating its practical application owing to the employment of LiPSCl@PCSSE.
