A polymer gel electrolyte composition includes a crosslinked polymer
network matrix having a three-dimensional crosslinked structure that
includes a solution of an electrolyte in a non-aqueous solvent, and a
non-crosslinked polymer included within the crosslinked polymer network
matrix. The non-crosslinked polymer includes (a) an ethylene unit and/or
propylene unit, and (b) an unsaturated carboxylic acid unit having a
carboxyl group esterified by a polyalkylene glycol having one terminal
hydroxyl group protected.
