A composite solid-state electrolyte with a triplex ionic transport architecture (TITA) was developed by integrating nanoscale fillers, short-chain crosslinkers and polymer matrix via solution casting and in situ photopolymerization. This structure creates efficient ion-conduction pathways, reduces ion aggregation, and enhances mechanical stability. As a result, the electrolyte achieves a high ionic conductivity of 7.36 × 10⁻⁴ S/cm and demonstrates excellent cycling performance when paired with an NCM622 cathode, showing great promise for solid-state lithium battery applications.
