In this paper, we study the existence of multiple positive solutions of the following Schrödinger-Poisson system with critical exponent

$\begin{equation*}\begin{cases}-Δ u-l(x)φ u=λ h(x)|u|^{q-2}u+|u|^{4}u,\ \text{in}\ \mathbb{R}^{3}, \\-Δφ=l(x)u^{2},\ \text{in}\ \mathbb{R}^{3},\end{cases}\end{equation*}$

where

$1 < q < 2 $

and

$λ>0 $

. Under some appropriate conditions on

$ l$

and

$h $

, we show that there exists

$λ^{*}>0 $

such that the above problem has at least two positive solutions for each

$λ∈(0,λ^{*}) $

by using the Mountain Pass Theorem and Ekeland's Variational Principle.

Keywords: Schrödinger-Poisson system, Mountain Pass Theorem, Ekeland's variational principle, critical exponent, concentration compactness principle.
