Abstract Hydrogel electrolytes are favored for flexible zinc‐ion batteries (FZIBs) due to their biocompatibility. Their application progress, however, is severely restricted by the poor water retention and low Zn 2+ transference number (t ). Herein, one composite polymer electrolyte (CPE) prepared introducing Prussian blues (PBs) as multifunctional fillers in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix enhance t . Experimental theoretical characterizations confirm that PB filler can alter migration mechanism trap of CPE. PBs active provide extra zinc ions unique 3D ion diffusion channels. Moreover, metal centers framework function Lewis acid sites have good affinity with anions salt, facilitating dissociation salt. Additionally, absorb coordination water, enhancing anti‐dehydration capability ionic conductivity hydrogel electrolytes. Consequently, P‐15/Zn‐15 shows high 16.3 mS cm⁻ 1 0.63. The Zn||Zn symmetric cells stably operate 600 h at 50 °C. Zn||P‐15/Zn‐15|| NaV 3 O 8 ·1.5H 2 full cell exhibits excellent cycling performance cycles.
