All-solid-state　lithium　ion　batteries　are　a　research　hot-topic　due　to　their　high　energy　density,　long　cycling　life　and　high　safety.　The　solid-state　electrolyte　is　a　critical　component　of　all-solid-state　lithium　ion　battery,　and　the　garnet-type　solid　electrolyte　is　considered　as　an　ideal　candidate　for　a　bulk-type　solid-state　lithium　ion　battery.　There　are　some　key　factors　improving　the　electrochemical　performances　of　the　garnet　solid　electrolyte　based　bulk-type　solid-state　lithium　ion　battery,　i.e.,　constructing　the　composite　cathode　based　on　garnet　solid　electrolyte,　solving　the　solid-solid　interfacial　issues　between　solid-state　electrolyte　and　cathode　material,　and　between　electrolyte　layer　and　composite　cathode　layer.　In　this　review,　research　progress　on　the　garnet　solid　electrolyte,　composite　cathodes　constructions　and　interfacial　modification　between　solid　electrolyte　and　composite　cathodes　were　represented,　and　future　development　on　the　composite　cathodes　constructions　and　interfacial　modifications　of　garnet　bulk-type　all-solid-state　lithium　ion　battery　was　also　prospected.　©　2019,　Editorial　Department　of　Journal　of　the　Chinese　Ceramic　Society.　All　right　reserved.
