Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for producing a solid electrolyte having an argyrodite-type crystal structure, the method comprising:heat-treating a raw material mixture comprising lithium, sulfur, phosphorus and halogen in a solvent using a pressure-resistant container or under refluxing;removing the solvent; andfiring a treated product obtained by the heat treatment.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing a solid electrolyte having an argyrodite-type crystal structure, the method comprising: heat-treating a raw material mixture comprising lithium, sulfur, phosphorus and halogen in a solvent using a pressure-resistant container or under refluxing; removing the solvent; and firing a treated product obtained by the heat treatment. 2. The method for producing a solid electrolyte according to claim 1 , wherein a heating temperature of the heat treatment is 150° C. or more and 300° C. or less. 3. The method for producing a solid electrolyte according to claim 1 , wherein a heating temperature of the firing is 300° C. or more and 470° C. or less. 4. The method for producing a solid electrolyte according to claim 1 , wherein two or more raw materials comprising one or more selected from the group consisting of lithium, sulfur, phosphorus and halogen are mixed and pulverized in a solvent to obtain the raw material mixture. 5. The method for producing a solid electrolyte according to claim 4 , wherein the solvent comprises a hydrocarbon-based solvent and at least one of a nitrile compound and an ether compound. 6. The method for producing a solid electrolyte according to claim 1 , wherein the treated product comprises a crystal having a PS 4 structure. 7. The method for producing a solid electrolyte according to claim 6 , wherein the crystal having a PS 4 structure is one or more selected from a β-Li 3 PS 4 -type crystal structure and a Li 7 PS 6 -type crystal structure. 8. The method for producing a solid electrolyte according to claim 7 , wherein the treated product comprises 15% by weight or more of the β-Li 3 PS 4 -type crystal structure. 9. The method for producing a solid electrolyte according to claim 7 , wherein the treated product comprises 10% by weight or more of the Li 7 PS 6 -type crystal structure. 10. The method for producing a solid electrolyte according to claim 7 , wherein a total content ratio of the β-Li 3 PS 4 -type crystal structure and the Li 7 PS 6 -type crystal structure relative to a total crystal structure comprised in the treated product is 50% by weight or more and 100% by weight or less. 11. The method for producing a solid electrolyte according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure-resistant container is an autoclave. 12. The method for producing a solid electrolyte according to claim 1 , wherein a specific surface area of the treated product is 15 m 2 /g or more.
