Abstract
An ionic conductor according to the present invention includes an electrolyte salt for ionic conduction, an ionically conducting molecule including a molecular chain which provides an ion conducting pathway and a boroxine ring bonded to the molecular chain and trapping anions resulting from the electrolyte salt, and a structural member for dispersion and immobilization of the ionically conducting molecule and the electrolyte salt therein. The structural material gives the ionic conductor mechanical strength, the ionically conducting molecule provides an ion conducting pathway, and the electrolyte salt gives it ionic conductivity.
