Abstract

A solid electrolyte cell includes: a positive electrode side layer having a positive electrode active material layer; a negative electrode side layer; and a solid electrolyte layer formed between the positive electrode side layer and the negative electrode side layer, wherein the positive electrode active material layer contains a lithium phosphoric acid compound which is in an amorphous state and is represented by the following formula (1), Li x Cu y PO 4   (1) where x indicates the compositional ratio of lithium, and y indicates the compositional ratio of copper, x and y being in the ranges of 1.0≦x≦5.0 and 1.0≦y≦4.0, respectively.

Claims (25)

1. A solid electrolyte cell comprising:

a positive electrode side layer having a positive electrode active material layer;

a negative electrode side layer; and

a solid electrolyte layer formed between the positive electrode side layer and the negative electrode side layer, wherein

the positive electrode active material layer contains a lithium phosphoric acid compound which is in an amorphous state and is represented by the following formula (1),

Li x Cu y PO4  (1)

where x indicates the compositional ratio of lithium, and y indicates the compositional ratio of copper, x and y being in the ranges of 1.0≦x≦5.0 and 1.0≦y≦4.0, respectively; wherein the negative electrode side layer includes a negative electrode current collector layer and an oxide-containing layer; and

a lithium-containing layer is formed at an interface on the negative electrode side of the solid electrolyte layer at the time of charging.

2. The solid electrolyte cell according to claim 1 , wherein

the positive electrode side layer includes the positive electrode active material layer and a positive electrode current collector layer.

3. The solid electrolyte cell according to claim 1 , wherein

the negative electrode side layer includes a negative electrode current collector layer and a negative electrode active material layer.

4. The solid electrolyte cell according to claim 1 , wherein a layer constituting the positive electrode side layer, a layer constituting the negative electrode side layer, and the solid electrolyte layer each include a film.

5. The solid electrolyte cell according to claim 1 , wherein the positive electrode active material layer comprises a single-phase thin film that does not contain a crystalline phase.

6. The solid electrolyte cell according to claim 1 , wherein the solid electrolyte layer comprises a material selected from the group consisting of: Li 3 PO 4 , SiO 4 —Li 3 PO 4 and Li 4 SiO 4 —Li 3 PO 4 .

7. A solid electrolyte cell comprising:

a positive electrode side layer having a positive electrode active material layer;

a negative electrode side layer; and

a solid electrolyte layer formed between the positive electrode side layer and the negative electrode side layer, wherein

the positive electrode active material layer contains a lithium phosphoric acid compound which is in an amorphous state and is represented by the following formula (1),

Li x Cu y PO4  (1)

where x indicates the compositional ratio of lithium, and y indicates the compositional ratio of copper, x and y being in the ranges 1.0≦x≦5.0 and 2.2≦y≦4.0, respectively.

8. A positive electrode active material which is a lithium compound oxide being in an amorphous state and represented by the following formula (1),

Li x Cu y PO4  (1)

where x indicates the compositional ratio of lithium, and y indicates the compositional ratio of copper, x and y being in the ranges of 1.0≦x≦5.0 and 2.2≦y≦4.0, respectively.
