Rapid Li + transport channels in composite solid electrolytes (CSEs) are often attributed to organic–inorganic interfaces. However, slow Li + transport through polymer chains is still dominant due to inefficient interface construction and weak interface interactions. In this study, interface-dominated Li + transport was achieved in ultracompatible CSEs by modifying sub-1 nm inorganic cluster chains (ICCs) with polyether amine (PEA). The abundant amino groups in PEA made ICCs monodisperse in the PVDF-HFP matrix and form hydrogen bonds with polymer chains. The distribution of organic–inorganic interfaces and interfacial hydrogen bonds was amplified by the multidimensional optimized interfaces. Moreover, the direction of −CF 2 – groups was regulated by the hydrogen bonds to provide rich and continuous interface interaction sites and local charge accumulation regions for more free Li + and more Li + transport pathways, thereby making the Li + interface transport dominant (52%) for the overall Li + transport in CSEs. Consequently, the as-obtained composite solid electrolyte exhibits exceptional room temperature ionic conductivity (0.53 mS cm –1 ), a substantial Li + transference number (0.65), and a stable cycling performance (95% capacity retention of NCM/Li batteries after 500 cycles at 0.5 C). This work introduces key concepts for the practical application of ICCs and outlines core design principles for composite solid electrolytes.
