Abstract

A solid electrolyte is composed of a compound represented by the general formula Li x M 2 (PO 4 ) z where M represents at least one element having a valence of one to four, x represents a number that satisfies 0.800≤x≤1.900, and z represents a number that satisfies 2.600≤z≤2.800.

Claims (22)

1 . A solid electrolyte composed of a compound represented by the following general formula (1),

Li x M 2 (PO 4 ) z   (1)

wherein in the general formula (1), M represents at least one element having a valence of one to four, x represents a number that satisfies 0.800≤x≤1.900, and z represents a number that satisfies 2.600≤z≤2.800, and

wherein the solid electrolyte sintered body has a NASICON-type crystal structure.

2 . The solid electrolyte according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in the general formula (1), M contains at least one element selected from the group consisting of Na, K, Ag, Au, Ba, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Pd, Pt, Sc, Y, V, Nb, Ta, Ru, Rh, Ir, Al, Ga, In, Mo, W, Tc, Re, Os, Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge, Si, and Sn.

3 . The solid electrolyte according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in the general formula (1), M contains at least one element having a valence of four.

4 . The solid electrolyte according to claim 1 ,

wherein the general formula (1) is represented by the following general formula (2),

Li x M′ y M″ 2−y (PO 4 ) z   (2)

wherein in the general formula (2), M′ represents at least one element selected from the group consisting of Na, K, Sr, Ba, Sc, Y, Zr, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Tc, Re, Fe, Ru, Os, Co, Ni, Pd, Pt, Ag, Au, Cd, Hg, Al, Ga, In, Rh, Ir, and Ti, M″ represents at least one element having a valence of four, x represents a number that satisfies 0.800≤x≤1.900, y represents a number that satisfies 0.001≤y≤1.999 and z represents a number that satisfies 2.600≤z≤2.800.

5 . The solid electrolyte according to claim 4 ,

wherein, in the general formula (2), M″ represents at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge, Si, and Sn.

6 . An all-solid-state battery comprising:

a solid electrolyte layer containing the solid electrolyte according to claim 1 ;

a positive electrode joined to one surface of the solid electrolyte layer; and

a negative electrode joined to the other surface of the solid electrolyte.

7 . The solid electrolyte according to claim 4 ,

wherein (M′, M″) is any one selected from the group consisting of (Al,Ti), (Na,Ti), (Co,Ti), (Y,Ti), (Zr,Ti), (Al,Zr), (Al,Hf), (Al,Ge) and (Al,Sn).
