Claim 8:
9. A method of creating a lithium-ion battery comprising the steps of:
a. providing an anode;
b. providing a cathode;
c. preparing a solid-state electrolyte polymer membrane comprising the steps of:
i. mixing a lithium salt, a plasticizer, and a co-network of a crosslinkable polyether addition, wherein the crosslinkable polyether addition is poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEGDGE), poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate (PEGDA), poly(ethylene glycol)dimethacrylate (PEGDMA), poly(propylene glycol) diacrylate (PPGDA), and poly(propylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PPGDMA), copolymers thereof, and mixtures thereof, and a crosslinkable amine addition; and
ii. crosslinking the mixture to form said solid-state electrolyte polymer membrane; and

d. combining the anode, the cathode, and the solid-state electrolyte polymer membrane to create a lithium-ion battery.
