Herein, a nacre-inspired design of ceramic/polymer solid composite electrolytes with a “brick-and-mortar” microstructure is proposed. The nacre-like ceramic/polymer electrolyte (NCPE) simultaneously possesses a much higher fracture strain (1.1%) than pure ceramic electrolytes (0.13%) and a much larger ultimate flexural modulus (7.8 GPa) than pure polymer electrolytes (20 MPa).
