In this work, we propose iodine-induced charge transfer of a covalent organic framework (COF) as an effective strategy to achieve fast ion transport and a stable SSE/Li interface. First, the electron-deficient COF skeleton in the I<sub>2</sub>/COF charge-transfer complex anchors TFSI<sup>-</sup> anions through enhanced electrostatic interactions, thereby promoting the dissociation of lithium salt to release free Li<sup>+</sup>. Second, the electron deficiency of COF strengthens its dipole–dipole interactions with PEO, leading to suppressed PEO crystallization and enhanced COF/PEO compatibility.

Consequently, the I<sub>2</sub>/COF charge-transfer complex accelerates Li<sup>+</sup> transport kinetics in PEO-based composite SSEs.
