Abstract

A solid electrolyte of the present disclosure includes: a porous dielectric having a plurality of pores interconnected mutually; and an electrolyte including a metal salt and at least one selected from the group consisting of an ionic compound and a bipolar compound and at least partially filling an interior of the plurality of pores. Inner surfaces of the plurality of pores of the porous dielectric are at least partially modified by a functional group containing a halogen atom.

Claims (49)
