Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a gel electrolyte for a lithium ion secondary battery having flame retardancy over a long period and a good capacity maintenance rate. The gel electrolyte for a lithium ion secondary battery according to the exemplary embodiment contains a lithium salt, a copolymer of at least one first monomer selected from compounds represented by chemical formulae (1) and (2) and a second monomer represented by chemical formula (4), at least one oxo-acid ester derivative of phosphorus selected from compounds represented by chemical formulae (5) to (7), and at least one disulfonate ester selected from a cyclic-chain type disulfonate ester represented by chemical formula (8) and a linear-chain type disulfonate ester represented by chemical formula (9).
