Abstract

The lithium sulfur battery of the present disclosure includes a positive electrode, a first electrolyte layer, a second electrolyte layer, and a negative electrode, wherein the first electrolyte layer is disposed between the positive electrode and the second electrolyte layer, and is in contact with the positive electrode, the second electrolyte layer is disposed between the first electrolyte layer and the negative electrode, the first electrolyte layer includes a hydride solid electrolyte, the hydride solid electrolyte includes a complex ion including Li cations and H, and the second electrolyte layer includes an electrolyte that differs from the hydride solid electrolyte.

Claims (21)

1 . A lithium sulfur battery comprising:

a positive electrode;

a first electrolyte layer including a hydride solid-electrolyte including a Li ion and a complex ion containing H;

a second electrolyte layer including an electrolyte different from the hydride solid-electrolyte; and

a negative electrode, wherein

the first electrolyte layer is disposed between the positive electrode and the second electrolyte layer, and is in contact with the positive electrode,

the second electrolyte layer is disposed between the first electrolyte layer and the negative electrode, and wherein

the complex ion contains H, B, and C.

2 . The lithium sulfur battery according to claim 1 , wherein an area of a surface of the first electrolyte layer on the second electrolyte layer side is larger than an area of a surface of the positive electrode on the first electrolyte layer side.

3 . The lithium sulfur battery according to claim 2 , wherein at least a portion of a side surface of the positive electrode is covered with the first electrolyte layer.

4 . The lithium sulfur battery according to claim 1 , wherein the second electrolyte layer includes a sulfide-solid electrolyte.

5 . The lithium sulfur battery according to claim 4 , wherein the sulfide-solid electrolyte contains Li, P, S, and halogen.

6 . A lithium sulfur battery comprising:

a positive electrode;

a first electrolyte layer including a hydride solid-electrolyte including a Li ion and a complex ion containing H;

a second electrolyte layer including an electrolyte different from the hydride solid-electrolyte; and

a negative electrode, wherein

the first electrolyte layer is disposed between the positive electrode and the second electrolyte layer, and is in contact with the positive electrode, wherein

the second electrolyte layer is disposed between the first electrolyte layer and the negative electrode, and wherein

the second electrolyte layer includes a sulfide-solid electrolyte.

7 . A lithium sulfur battery according to claim 6 , wherein the sulfide-solid electrolyte contains Li, P, S, and halogen.
