Abstract

A method for producing a solid electrolyte, which comprises: a step of mixing an anionic surfactant which is a monomer or an oligomer, a solvent, and a sulfide solid electrolyte to obtain a mixture; and a step of removing the solvent from the mixture.

Claims (27)

1 . A method for producing solid electrolyte particles in the form of a dry powder, comprising:

mixing an anionic surfactant which is a monomer or an oligomer, a solvent, and a sulfide solid electrolyte to obtain a mixture;

removing the solvent from the mixture, thereby obtaining dry solid electrolyte particles comprising the anionic surfactant in an amount of 0.01 to 5.0 mg/m 2 per a specific surface area of the sulfide solid electrolyte, and

collecting the dry solid electrolyte particles, comprising the anionic surfactant, in the form of a dry powder.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the surfactant comprises sulfosuccinate or benzenesulfonate.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the surfactant has an alkyl group including 5 or more carbon atoms, and the total number of carbon atoms of the alkyl groups is 5 or more and 20 or less.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the number of terminals of alkyl groups in the surfactant is 1 or more and 8 or less.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

dehydrating a solution comprising the surfactant and using the dehydrated surfactant.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the solution comprising the surfactant comprises a polar solvent, and

the solvent comprises a nonpolar solvent.

7 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein the polar solvent is at least one selected from the group consisting of water and an alcohol.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the surfactant does not have a hydroxyl group.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sulfide solid electrolyte has a crystal structure.

10 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sulfide solid electrolyte has an argyrodite-type crystal structure.

11 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of the surfactant is 0.1 to 0.4 mg/m 2 per a specific surface area of the sulfide solid electrolyte.

12 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the obtained solid electrolyte particles have a volume-based particle diameter d95 of 1 μm to 30 μm.

13 . Solid electrolyte particles in the form of a dry powder, comprising:

sulfide solid electrolyte particles, and

an anionic surfactant which is a monomer or an oligomer on the surface of the sulfide solid electrolyte particles,

wherein an amount of the surfactant is 0.01 to 5.0 mg/m 2 per a specific surface area of the sulfide solid electrolyte particles.

14 . The solid electrolyte particles according to claim 13 , wherein the amount of the surfactant is 0.03 to 1.0 mg/m 2 per a specific surface area of the sulfide solid electrolyte.

15 . The solid electrolyte particles according to claim 13 , wherein the amount of the surfactant is 0.05 to 0.5 mg/m 2 per a specific surface area of the sulfide solid electrolyte.

16 . The solid electrolyte particles according to claim 13 , wherein the amount of the surfactant is 0.1 to 0.4 mg/m 2 per a specific surface area of the sulfide solid electrolyte.

17 . The solid electrolyte particles according to claim 13 , having a volume-based particle diameter d95 of 1 μm to 30 μm.

18 . The solid electrolyte particles according to claim 13 , having a volume-based particle diameter d95 of 1 μm to 20 μm.

19 . The solid electrolyte particles according to claim 13 , having a volume-based particle diameter d95 of 1 μm to 15 μm.
