Abstract

Provided is a complex oxide having high density and high lithium ion conductivity and low activation energy. The complex oxide has a chemical composition represented by Li 4-x Sr 2-x La x ZrO 6 (0≤x≤1.0) and belongs to a monoclinic space group P2 1 /n. The relative density of this complex oxide can be made to be 100%. The lithium ion conductivity of this complex oxide can be made to be 6.0×10 −4 S/cm or more. This complex oxide is produced by melting at least a part of a raw material having a chemical composition represented by Li (4-x)y Sr (2-x)z La x ZrO 6 (0≤x≤1.0, 1<y and 1<z) to form a molten portion and moving the molten portion at a movement speed of 8 mm/h or faster.
