Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for preparing a ceramic solid electrolyte having a even particle distribution, excellent crystallinity, and high ionic conductivity. Step 1 for preparing the ceramic solid electrolyte particles may be a step for adding and mixing raw materials to distilled water to prepare a solid electrolyte precursor. Step 2 may be a step for mixing the solid electrolyte precursor with a ball-mill. Step 3 may be a step for drying first by rotary concentrating or spraying. Step 4 may be a step for drying second in a dryer at 80° C. for at least 24 hours to completely remove the distilled water solvent. Step 5 may be a step for calcining first ceramic particles in a heat treatment device and firing second the ceramic particles.
