Abstract

The present disclosure provides a cathode material which has improved charge/discharge efficiency; and a battery using the same. The cathode material includes a cathode active material and a first solid electrolyte material; and the first solid electrolyte material contains Li, M and X; however, does not include sulfur. M represents at least one element that is selected from the group consisting of metalloid elements and metal elements other than Li. X represents at least one selected from the group consisting of Cl and Br, and I. The cathode active material includes lithium iron phosphate.

Claims (20)

1. A battery comprising:

a cathode including a cathode material comprising:

a cathode active material comprising lithium iron phosphate; and

a first solid electrolyte material including Li, Y, and X, and not including sulfur;

an anode; and

an electrolyte layer including a second solid electrolyte material provided between the cathode and the anode, wherein

the first solid electrolyte material is represented by the following composition formula:

Li 6−3d Y d X 6 ,

wherein

X represents at least one selected from the group consisting of Cl and Br, and I, and

0<d<2 is satisfied, and

the second solid electrolyte material is represented by the following composition formula:

Li 6−3d′ Y d′ X 6 ,

wherein

0<d′<2 is satisfied, and

X′ includes at least one selected from the group consisting of Cl and Br.

2. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein

the first solid electrolyte material is Li 3 YBrCl 4 I or Li 3 YBr 2 Cl 2 I 2 .

3. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein

the second solid electrolyte material is Li 2.7 Y 1.1 Cl 6 .
