Abstract

A positive electrode material contains at least one positive electrode active material, a solid electrolyte, and a coating material. The solid electrolyte is represented by formula (1), Li α M β X γ   (1) where α, β, and γ are each independently a value greater than 0, M includes at least one element selected from the group consisting of non-Li metals and metalloids, and X includes at least one selected from the group consisting of F, Cl, Br, and I. The coating material covers the surface of the positive electrode active material and contains lithium carbonate.

Claims (32)

1. A positive electrode material comprising:

at least one positive electrode active material;

a solid electrolyte; and

a coating material, wherein:

the solid electrolyte is represented by composition formula (A1),

Li 6-3d Y d X 6   (A1)

where X is two or more elements selected from the group consisting of F, Cl, Br, and I, and d satisfy the relation 0<d<2, and

the coating material covers a surface of the positive electrode active material and contains lithium carbonate.

2. The positive electrode material according to claim 1 , wherein

a percentage of weight of the lithium carbonate to weight of the positive electrode active material is larger than or equal to 1.3% by weight and smaller than or equal to 4.0% by weight.

3. The positive electrode material according to claim 1 , wherein

coverage of the surface of the positive electrode active material by the coating material is greater than or equal to 91.1%.

4. The positive electrode material according to claim 1 , wherein

the positive electrode active material includes a lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide.

5. A battery comprising:

a positive electrode containing the positive electrode material according to claim 1 ;

a negative electrode; and

an electrolyte layer between the positive electrode and the negative electrode.

6. The battery according to claim 5 , wherein

the electrolyte layer contains the solid electrolyte.

7. The battery according to claim 5 , wherein

the electrolyte layer contains a halide solid electrolyte different from the solid electrolyte.

8. The battery according to claim 5 , wherein

the electrolyte layer contains a sulfide solid electrolyte.

9. The positive electrode material according to claim 1 , wherein

the solid electrolyte is represented by the formula Li 3 YBr 2 Cl 4 .

10. The positive electrode material according to claim 9 , wherein

the positive electrode active material includes a lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide.

11. The positive electrode material according to claim 1 , wherein

a percentage of weight of the lithium carbonate to weight of the positive electrode active material is larger than or equal to 1.3% by weight and smaller than or equal to 4.0% by weight, and coverage of the surface of the positive electrode active material by the coating material is greater than or equal to 91.1%.

12. The positive electrode material according to claim 11 , wherein

the positive electrode active material includes a lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide.
