The present disclosure provides a hyperbranched polycaprolactone-polylactic acid copolymer (PCL-PLA), preparation method and solid electrolyte application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of polymer synthesis. The copolymer is prepared as follows: an intermediate of dihydroxymethyl propionamido-terminated polylactic acid (PLA-DMPA) is synthesized with amino-terminated polylactic acid (PLA) and 2,2-dihydroxymethylpropionic acid as starting materials, and then the PLA-DMPA is subjected to polymerization with ε-caprolactone. PCL and PLA are combined through chemical bonds. The polymer with a hyperbranched structure has many free terminal groups, which can provide increased lithium-ion transmission channels and facilitates the increase of ionic conductivity. The presence of PLA reduces the crystallinity of PCL, and is conducive to the movement of chain segments of the polymer, thereby improving the transport capacity of lithium ions in the polymer. The copolymer exhibits better cycling performance and electrochemical stability than a pure PCL electrolyte.
