Electrolyte layer for all-solid state battery and method of manufacturing all-solid state battery using the same
Disclosed is a method of manufacturing an all-solid state battery. The method includes coating a first slurry or composition having on a substrate to form a first electrolyte layer a predetermined thickness, coating a second slurry or composition on the first electrolyte layer to form a second electrolyte layer having a predetermined thickness, laminating an electrode layer on the second electrolyte layer, bonding the electrode layer to the second electrolyte layer through pressing, and removing the substrate from the first electrolyte layer. The first slurry or composition of the first electrolyte layer has content of a binder less than that of the second slurry or composition of the second electrolyte layer, and thus, the substrate may be easily removed from the first electrolyte layer.
1. An electrolyte layer for an all-solid state battery comprising:

a second electrolyte layer disposed on the first electrolyte layer, the second electrolyte layer including a second solid electrolyte and a second binder,
wherein a content of the first binder of the first electrolyte layer is less than a content of the second binder of the second electrolyte layer, such that the first electrolyte layer has less adhesion than that of the second electrolyte layer.
2. The electrolyte layer according to claim 1 , wherein the two or more electrolyte layers have different thicknesses.
3. A method of manufacturing an all-solid state battery, the method comprising:
coating a first slurry or composition on a substrate to form a first electrolyte layer having a thickness (t1);
coating a second slurry or composition on the first electrolyte layer to form a second electrolyte layer having a thickness (t2);
laminating an electrode layer on the second electrolyte layer;
bonding the electrode layer to the second electrolyte layer; and
