Abstract

A battery includes a positive electrode, a first electrolyte layer, a second electrolyte layer, a third electrolyte layer, and a negative electrode, which are arranged in the order stated. The first electrolyte layer includes a first solid electrolyte material. The second electrolyte layer includes a second solid electrolyte material. The third electrolyte layer includes a third solid electrolyte material. The second solid electrolyte material has a Young's modulus that is less than a Young's modulus of the first solid electrolyte material and less than a Young's modulus of the third solid electrolyte material. The first solid electrolyte material and the third solid electrolyte material are materials different from each other.

Claims (28)

1. A battery comprising a positive electrode, a first electrolyte layer, a second electrolyte layer, a third electrolyte layer, and a negative electrode arranged in the order stated, wherein:

the first electrolyte layer includes a first solid electrolyte material,

the second electrolyte layer includes a second solid electrolyte material,

the third electrolyte layer includes a third solid electrolyte material,

the first solid electrolyte material and the third solid electrolyte material are materials different from each other,

the first solid electrolyte material is represented by composition formula (A7) below,

Li 3−3δ−a Y 1+δ−a Me a Cl 6−x−y Br x I y   formula (A7)

where Me is at least one selected from the group consisting of Zr, Hf, and Ti, and

−1<δ<1, 0<a<1.5, 0<(3−3δ−a), 0<(1+δ−a), 0≤x<6, 0≤y<6, and (x+y)<6 are satisfied,

the second solid electrolyte material includes Li, M2 and X2, where

M2 is at least one selected from the group consisting of metalloid elements and metal elements other than Li, and

X2 is at least one selected from the group consisting of F, Cl, Br, and I,

the third solid electrolyte material is represented by composition formula (A2) below,

Li 3 YX 6   formula (A2)

where X contains Cl, and

a relationship of (R3+R4)> (R1+R2) and a relationship of (R3+R4)> (R5+R6) are satisfied, where

R1 is defined as a ratio of an amount of substance of Br to a total amount of substance of at least one halogen in the first solid electrolyte material,

R2 is defined as a ratio of an amount of substance of I to the total amount of substance of the at least one halogen in the first solid electrolyte material,

R3 is defined as a ratio of an amount of substance of Br to a total amount of substance of at least one halogen in the second solid electrolyte material,

R4 is defined as a ratio of an amount of substance of I to the total amount of substance of the at least one halogen in the second solid electrolyte material,

R5 is defined as a ratio of an amount of substance of Br to a total amount of substance of at least one halogen in the third solid electrolyte material, and

R6 is defined as a ratio of an amount of substance of I to the total amount of substance of the at least one halogen in the third solid electrolyte material.

2. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein X further contains at least one of Br and I.

3. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the second solid electrolyte material is a material represented by composition formula (2) below,

Li α2 M2 β2 X2 γ2   formula (2)

where α2, β2, and γ2 are each a value greater than 0.

4. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein M2 includes yttrium.

5. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the second electrolyte layer has a thickness that is less than a thickness of each of the first electrolyte layer and the third electrolyte layer.
