1. A battery comprising:
an anode layer;
a separator portion comprising an ionically conducting oxide material disposed on the anode layer;
a solid electrolyte portion comprising said ionically conducting oxide material and an ionically conducting solid material comprising a plastic-crystal comprising an organic compound and a lithium salt disposed on the separator, said ionically conducting oxide material being different than the ionically conducting solid material, said ionically conducting oxide material having pores having a tortuosity of about 1 and the ionically conducting solid material being disposed in said pores; and
a cathode comprising lithium transition metal oxide particles disposed in the ionically conducting oxide material.
