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.
