A polyether copolymer having a weight-average molecular weight of 10to 10, formed from 3 to 30% by mol of a repeating unit derived from propylene oxide, 96 to 69% by mol of a repeating unit derived from ethylene oxide, and 0.01 to 15% by mol of a crosslinkable repeating unit derived from a reactive oxirane compound, gives a provide a crosslinked solid polymer electrolyte which is superior in processability, moldability, mechanical strength, flexibility and heat resistance, and has markedly improved ionic conductivity.

Solid polymer electrolyte and use thereof

A solid polymer electrolyte containing (I) a crosslinked material obtainable by crosslinking a composition containing (i) a polyether copolymer having a weight-average molecular weight within a range from 10 to 10 and having 5 to 95 mol % of repeating unit derived from a glycidyl compound, and 95 to 5 mol % of repeating unit derived from ethylene oxide, (ii) a crosslinking agent selected from organic peroxides and azo compounds, and (iii) a crosslinking aid which is an organic compound having a carbon-carbon double bond and an imide group, (II) an electrolyte salt compound, and (III) a plasticizer, is excellent in mechanical properties and ionic conductivity.

Solid crosslinked-polymer electrolyte and use thereof

A solid polymer electrolyte obtained by blending (1) a polyether copolymer having a main chain, which is derived form ethylene oxide, and a side chain having two oligooxyethylene groups, (2) an electrolyte salt compound, and, if necessary, (3) a plasticizer which is any one of an aprotic organic solvent or a derivative or metal salt of a polyalkylene glycol having a number-average molecular weight of 200 to 5,000 or a metal salt of the derivative, is superior in ionic conductivity and also superior in processability, moldability and mechanical strength to a conventional solid electrolyte. A secondary battery is constructed by using the solid polymer electrolyte in combination with a lithium metal negative electrode and a lithium cobaltate positive electrode.

Polyether copolymer and solid polymer electrolyte

A polyether copolymer having a weight-average molecular weight of 10.sup.4 to 10.sup.7, comprising 5 to 40% by mol of a repeating unit derived from epichlorohydrin, 95 to 60% by mol of a repeating unit derived from ethylene oxide, and 0.001 to 15% by mol of a crosslinkable repeating unit derived from a reactive oxirane compound, gives a provide a crosslinked solid polymer electrolyte which is superior in processability, moldability, mechanical strength, flexibility and heat resistance, and has markedly improved ionic conductivity.

Polyether copolymer and crosslinked solid polymer electrolyte

A polyether copolymer prepared from 5 to 95% by mol of a monomer of the formula (I), 95 to 5% by mol of a monomer of the formula (II) and 0 to 15% by mol of a monomer of the formula (III) or (IV) as a crosslinking component; the copolymer having a weight-average molecular weight within the range from 10.sup.3 to 10.sup.7 : ##STR1## The copolymer of the present invention provides a polymer solid electrolyte having such a feature that it is superior in ionic conductivity and also superior in processability, moldability, mechanical strength and flexibility to a conventional solid electrolyte.
