Abstract All solid-state lithium batteries are garnering attention in both academia and industry. Lithium-ion conductive polymers and lithium-ion conductive ceramics are the two major classes of solid electrolytes that have prevalently been pursued for many years. However, each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. One approach to overcome the disadvantages and get the best out of each of those materials is a solid composite electrolyte that combines the advantages of inorganic ceramic electrolytes and solid polymer electrolytes. Such composite electrolytes can offer acceptable ionic conductivity, high mechanical strength, and favorable interfacial contact with electrodes, which can greatly improve the electrochemical performance of all‐solid‐state batteries compared to cells based on a polymer electrolyte alone or a ceramic electrolyte alone. We present in this review the state-of-the-art composite polymer-ceramic electrolytes in view of their electrochemical and physical properties for the applications in lithium batteries. The review mainly encompasses the polymer matrices, various ceramic filler materials, and the polymer/ceramics composite systems. In particular, the structures, ionic conductivities, electrochemical/chemical stabilities, and fabrications of solid composite electrolytes are discussed in-depth. On the basis of previous work, a perspective on future research directions is highlighted for developing high-performance composite polymer-ceramic electrolytes.
