Here, we have prepared a kind of anode current collector based on Li_6.4La₃Zr_1.4Ta_0.6O₁₂ (LLZTO) solid electrolyte and copper composite layer with 3D porous structure by phase-transformation co-banding casting method, and the addition of LLZTO provides abundant ion transport channels and nucleation sites for lithium ions, while the copper with 3D porous structure provides enlarged specific surface area and can accommodate a large amount of dead lithium and other by-products generated in electrochemical process, and at the same time, the phase-transformation co-banding casting method is easy to operate and suitable for anode interface impedance increase. The prepared Cu-LLZTO@Li symmetric cell achieved a long cycle life of 280 h at a current density of 4 mA·cm^-2 with an ultra-low voltage hysteresis of 25 mV, which was 4 times and 3 times higher than that of Cu foil and 3D-Cu, respectively. Thanks to the constructed stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film and no lithium dendrite generation, the Cu-LLZTO@Li symmetric cell exhibited the lowest ohmic resistance (2.749 Ω·cm^-2) and interface resistance (0.544 Ω·cm^-2) compared to Cu foil@Li and 3D-Cu@Li. In the half-cell, Cu-LLZTO did not produce a soft short circuit and maintained 98.4% Coulombic efficiency over 70 cycles, and the charging and discharging voltage plateau was consistently maintained at a low level of 0.15 V during the cycle.
