Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a solid electrolyte and an all-solid-state battery including the same. Specifically, provided are an oxide of a specific component system as a solid electrolyte (first solid electrolyte) and a solid electrolyte (second solid electrolyte) further including an oxide or salt of another component system as a second component while including the oxide of the specific component system as a first component.
