Abstract Li + ‐conducting oxides are considered better ceramic fillers than Li + ‐insulating oxides for improving Li + conductivity in composite polymer electrolytes owing to their ability to conduct Li + through the ceramic oxide as well as across the oxide/polymer interface. Here we use two Li + ‐insulating oxides (fluorite Gd 0.1 Ce 0.9 O 1.95 and perovskite La 0.8 Sr 0.2 Ga 0.8 Mg 0.2 O 2.55 ) with a high concentration of oxygen vacancies to demonstrate two oxide/poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)‐based polymer composite electrolytes, each with a Li + conductivity above 10 −4 S cm −1 at 30 °C. Li solid‐state NMR results show an increase in Li + ions (>10 %) occupying the more mobile A2 environment in the composite electrolytes. This increase in A2‐site occupancy originates from the strong interaction between the O 2− of Li‐salt anion and the surface oxygen vacancies of each oxide and contributes to the more facile Li + transport. All‐solid‐state Li‐metal cells with these composite electrolytes demonstrate a small interfacial resistance with good cycling performance at 35 °C.
