Abstract Composite polymer solid electrolytes (CPEs), possessing good rigid flexible, are expected to be used in solid‐state lithium‐metal batteries. The integration of fillers into polymer matrices emerges as a dominant strategy to improve Li + transport and form a Li + ‐conducting electrode–electrolyte interface. However, challenges arise as traditional fillers: 1) inorganic fillers, characterized by high interfacial energy, induce agglomeration; 2) organic fillers, with elevated crystallinity, impede intrinsic ionic conductivity, both severely hindering Li + migration. Here, a concept of super‐ionic conductor soft filler, utilizing a Li + conductivity nanocellulose (Li‐NC) as a model, is introduced which exhibits super‐ionic conductivity. Li‐NC anchors anions, and enhances Li + transport speed, and assists in the integration of cathode–electrolyte electrodes for room temperature solid‐state batteries. The tough dual‐channel Li + transport electrolyte (TDCT) with Li‐NC and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) demonstrates a high Li + transfer number (0.79) due to the synergistic coordination mechanism in Li + transport. Integrated electrodes’ design enables stable performance in LiNi 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 O 2 |Li cells, with 720 cycles at 0.5 C, and 88.8% capacity retention. Furthermore, the lifespan of Li|TDCT|Li cells over 4000 h and Li‐rich Li 1.2 Ni 0.13 Co 0.13 Mn 0.54 O 2 |Li cells exhibits excellent performance, proving the practical application potential of soft filler for hi...
