Abstract

The all-solid battery has two electrode layers of a positive electrode and a negative electrode interposing a solid electrolyte layer therebetween, in which at least one of the electrode layers is composed of a sintered body of a mixed material including at least one or more types of electrode active material particles comprising electrode active material and solid electrolyte particles comprising solid electrolyte, and a portion of at least 30% by area of a grain boundary surrounding the electrode active material particles has a coating layer with a thickness of 1 to 200 nm.

Claims (17)

1. An all-solid battery that does not employ organic compound, comprising: two electrode layers composed of a positive electrode layer and a negative electrode layer interposing a solid electrolyte layer therebetween,

wherein at least one of the two electrode layers is composed of a sintered body of a mixed material including at least one or more types of electrode active material particles comprising electrode active material and solid electrolyte particles comprising solid electrolyte, and wherein a grain boundary of the electrode active material particles and the solid electrolyte particles including a portion of at least 30% by area of a grain boundary area surrounding the electrode active material particles has a coating layer with a thickness of 1 to 200 nm, and wherein

the coating layer is composed of a simple substance of C, or a metal consisting of any of the elements of Ni, Co, Fe, Mn, Cr, and Cu, or an alloy consisting of two or more of these elements.

2. The all-solid battery according to claim 1 , wherein content of the coating layer is 0.1% by mass or more in relation to an electrode active material, in at least one of the electrode layers.
