(DE19825807-A1)      A glass-polymer composite electrolyte comprises: (i) a glass electrolyte which includes at least one lithium compound and at least one compound from B2O3, P2S5, SiS2 and GeS2; and (ii) a polymer electrolyte.    Also claimed are: (a) a battery formed using a glass-polymer composite electrolyte as above; and (b) a method of preparing a glass-polymer composite electrolyte as above which comprises: (1) heating a mixture of at least one lithium compound and at least compound from B2O3, P2S5, SiS2 and GeS2 at 700-900C; (2) forming a glass electrolyte by cooling the mixture; (3) mixing the glass electrolyte and a polymer electrolyte to produce a composite electrolyte; and (4) shaping by compressing the composite electrolyte at 60-110C.    USE -   The electrolyte is for rechargeable and non-rechargeable lithium batteries.    ADVANTAGE -   The electrolyte is easy to handle, has a relatively high mechanical flexibility and ion conductivity, and shows no side-reaction of a glass electrolyte and a polymer electrolyte.
