PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrolyte composition having superior durability and ionic conductivity, and further to provide an electrochemical cell, a nonaqueous battery, and a photoelectrochemical cell, having superior durability and electrical characteristics (photoelectric conversion characteristic), using the electrolyte composition.;SOLUTION: This electrolyte composition contains a liquid crystal compound, having a polysiloxane structure expressed by general formula (I) as a repeating unit, and is used for the electrochemical cell, the photoelectrochemical cell, and the nonaqueous battery. [In the general formula (I), R stands for an alkyl group, L for a linking group of single bond or of bivalence, and A for a liquid- crystalline substituent; and the substituent may have an ionic group, and in that case, the substituent includes its counter ions].;COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
