Abstract

An all-solid-state battery having a high output power and a long life, exhibiting high safety, and being produced at a low cost is provided. The all-solid-state battery has a cathode comprising a cathode material, an anode comprising an anode material, and a solid electrolyte layer comprising a solid electrolyte, wherein the cathode material, the anode material, and the solid electrolyte are a compound shown by the following formulas (1), (2), and (3), respectively: M a N 1 b X 1 c   (1) M d N 2 e X 2 f   (2) M g N 3 h X 3 i   (3) wherein M represents H, Li, Na, Mg, Al, K, or Ca and X 1 , X 2 , and X 3 are polyanions, each of N 1 and N 2 is at least one atom selected from the group consisting of transition metals, Al, and Cu, and N 3 is at least one atom selected from the group consisting of Ti, Ge, Hf, Zr, Al, Cr, Ga, Fe, Sc, and In.

Claims (17)

1. An all-solid-state battery having:

a cathode comprising a cathode material,

an anode comprising an anode material, and

a solid electrolyte layer comprising a solid electrolyte,

wherein the cathode material, the anode material, and the solid electrolyte are a compound shown by the following formulas (1), (2), and (3), respectively,

M a N 1 b X 1 c   (1)

M d N 2 e X 2 f   (2)

M g N 3 h X 3 i   (3)

wherein M is H, Li, Na, Mg, Al, K, or Ca; each of X 1 , X 2 , and X 3 is a polyanion; a, d, and g are numbers of 0 to 5; b, e, and h are numbers of 1 to 2; c, f, and i are numbers of 1 to 3; N 1 in the formula (1) is at least one atom selected from the group consisting of transition metals, Al, and Cu; N 2 in the formula (2) is at least one atom selected from the group consisting of transition metals, Al, and Cu; and N 3 in the formula (3) is at least one atom selected from the group consisting of Ti, Ge, Hf, Zr, Al, Cr, Ga, Fe, Sc, and In.

2. The all-solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein the polyanion is at least one selected from the group consisting of SiO 4 , PO 4 , SO 4 , MoO 4 , WO 4 , BO 4 , and BO 3 .

3. The all-solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein X 1 and X 2 in the formulas (1) and (2) contain at least one identical polyanion and X 2 and X 3 in the formulas (2) and (3) contain at least one identical polyanion.

4. The all-solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein X 1 , X 2 , and X 3 in the formulas (1) to (3) are the same in all of the cathode material, the anode material, and the solid electrolyte.

5. The all-solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein M in the formulas (1) to (3) are the same in all of the cathode material, the anode material, and the solid electrolyte.

6. The all-solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein each of the cathode material, anode material, and solid electrolyte have a jointly-owned vertex skeleton structure in which X 1 in the formula (1), X 2 in the formula (2), and X 3 in the formula (3) are respectively jointly-owned vertexes.

7. The all-solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein the cathode material, anode material, and solid electrolyte are cationic conductors having a NASICON structure.

8. The all-solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein the solid electrolyte is included in at least one of the cathode and the anode.

9. The all-solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein N 1 and N 2 in the formulas (1) and (2) are the same in both the cathode material and the anode material.
