Abstract

One embodiment provides a solid-state battery that has a positive-electrode layer, a negative-electrode layer, and a lithium-ion-conducting solid electrolyte layer disposed between the positive-electrode layer and the negative-electrode layer. The positive-electrode layer and/or the solid electrolyte layer contains a sulfide solid electrolyte, the negative-electrode layer and/or the solid electrolyte layer contains a solid electrolyte comprising a hydride of a complex, and at least part of the sulfide solid electrolyte is in contact with at least part of the solid electrolyte comprising a hydride of a complex.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A solid-state battery comprising:
a positive-electrode layer;
a negative-electrode layer; and
a lithium-ion-conducting solid electrolyte layer disposed between the positive-electrode layer and the negative-electrode layer, wherein
the positive-electrode layer contains a sulfide solid electrolyte,
either or both of the negative-electrode layer and the solid electrolyte layer contain a complex hydride solid electrolyte,
at least part of the sulfide solid electrolyte is in contact with at least part of the complex hydride solid electrolyte; and
the positive-electrode layer does not contain the complex hydride solid electrolyte.

2. The solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein the solid electrolyte layer comprises:
a first solid electrolyte layer on the positive electrode side, the first solid electrolyte layer containing a sulfide solid electrolyte; and
a second solid electrolyte layer on the negative electrode side, the second solid electrolyte layer containing a complex hydride solid electrolyte.

3. The solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein the sulfide solid electrolyte contains at least one material selected from the group consisting of Li 2 S—P 2 S 5 -based materials, Li 2 S—SiS 2 -based materials, and Li 2 S—GeS 2 -based materials.

4. The solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein the complex hydride solid electrolyte is LiBH 4 or a combination of LiBH 4 and an alkali metal compound represented by Formula (1) below:
MX  (1),

wherein M represents an alkali metal atom selected from the group consisting of a lithium atom, a rubidium atom, and a cesium atom, and X represents a halogen atom or an NH 2 group.

5. The solid-state battery according to claim 4 , wherein the alkali metal compound is selected from the group consisting of a lithium halide, a rubidium halide, a cesium halide, and a lithium amide.

6. The solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein the negative-electrode layer contains a complex hydride solid electrolyte.
