All-solid-state Li-ion batteries (ASSLiBs) are considered as promising next-generation energy storage devices, and the one that is based on oxide ceramic solid-state electrolyte (SSE) has attracted much attention for its high safety and stability in ambient conduction compared with that of used sulfur and polymer SSEs. However, the undeformable nature of the ceramic SSEs brings new issues such as poor interface bonding, limited contact area and limited cathode utilization for the ASSLiBs. In addition, the interface reaction and resistance are also obstacles for ASSLiBs application. In this review, we focus on the synthesis and electrochemical properties, interface modification and failure mechanism of ASSLiBs. Finally, perspectives of future researches on the ceramic SSEs-based ASSLiBs are discussed.
