Abstract

A method for producing a sulfide solid electrolyte includes a firing step of firing a raw material containing Li 2 S in a hydrogen sulfide-containing atmosphere at a temperature of 300° C. or higher, Li 2 S having a purity of 50 to 90% by mass at the start of firing. The Li 2 S may contain impurities including at least one of LiOH, Li 2 O, LiHCO 3 , and Li 2 CO 3 . In the firing step, it is preferable that a concentration of a hydrogen sulfide in the hydrogen sulfide-containing atmosphere is 50 volume % or more. It is preferable that the raw material further contains P 2 S 5 and LiX (X represents at least one type of elemental halogen), and the sulfide solid electrolyte has an argyrodite-type crystal structure.

Claims (8)

1. A method for producing a sulfide solid electrolyte, comprising:

a mixing step of mixing a raw material containing Li 2 S and a phosphorus sulfide; and

a firing step of firing the raw material in a hydrogen sulfide-containing atmosphere at a temperature of 300° C. or higher, the Li 2 S having a purity of 50 to 90% by mass at the a start of the firing.

2. The method for producing a sulfide solid electrolyte according to claim 1 , wherein the Li 2 S contains impurities including at least one of LiOH, Li 2 O, LiHCO 3 , and Li 2 CO 3 .

3. The method for producing a sulfide solid electrolyte according to claim 1 , wherein, in the firing step, a concentration of a hydrogen sulfide in the hydrogen sulfide-containing atmosphere is 50 volume % or more.

4. The method for producing a sulfide solid electrolyte according to claim 1 ,

wherein the raw material further contains LiX (X represents at least one type of elemental halogen), and

the sulfide solid electrolyte has an argyrodite-type crystal structure.
