The invention relates to a solid electrolyte. The solid electrode comprises a substrate, and the substrate is a garnet type fast ion conductor Li7M3Zr2O12 or Li5Ta3M2O12, wherein the M can be one or more components selected from La, Al, Sr, Sc, Cr, Ba, Fe, Mo, and Y. The surface of the substrate is covered by a surface modification layer which can carry out plastic deformation, and the surface modification layer is made of non-crystal lithium silicate, lithium sulfate, or lithium tungstate. The invention also relates to a preparation method of the solid electrolyte. The solid electrolyte is covered by a surface modification layer made of non-crystal lithium silicate, lithium sulfate or lithium tungstate, and the non-crystal lithium silicate, lithium sulfate, and lithium tungstate are all flexible, can carry out plastic deformation, and all have a high ionic conductivity; so the surface modification layer can fully carry out surface contact with the garnet type fast ion conductor, thus the interfaces between the crystals in the solid electrolyte and the interfaces between the electrodes and the solid electrolyte are all improved, the interface impedance and grain resistance are low, and the durability and circulation performance are both prominently improved.
