Abstract We explored safer, superior energy storage solutions by investigating all-solid-state electrolytes with high theoretical energy densities of 3860 mAh g−1, corresponding to the Li-metal anode. Despite challenges like dendrite growth, we synthesized ceramic-based electrolytes using green chemistry. These non-doped and doped electrolytes with F-, Ce-, and Mo demonstrated notable ionic conductivity (0.15–0.54 S cm−1) and durability. By customizing nanostructured materials, we improved battery performance, surpassing the conductivity of commercial electrolytes.
