Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a method of producing a sulfide solid electrolyte with which the capacity retention of an all-solid-state battery can be improved. The method of producing a sulfide solid electrolyte comprises synthesizing material for a sulfide solid electrolyte from raw material for an electrolyte; and after said synthesizing, heating the material for a sulfide solid electrolyte in a flow of a gas at a temperature of no less than a melting point of elemental sulfur, the gas being able to form a chemical bond with the elemental sulfur.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method of producing a sulfide solid electrolyte, the method comprising: synthesizing material for a sulfide solid electrolyte from raw material for an electrolyte; and after said synthesizing, heating the material for a sulfide solid electrolyte in a flow of a gas at a temperature of no less than a melting point of elemental sulfur, the gas being able to form a chemical bond with the elemental sulfur. 2 . The method of producing a sulfide solid electrolyte according to claim 1 , wherein the gas is a H 2 S gas. 3 . The method of producing a sulfide solid electrolyte according to claim 1 , further comprising: washing a sulfide solid electrolyte with an organic solvent, the sulfide solid electrolyte being obtained after said heating in the flow of the gas. 4 . The method of producing a sulfide solid electrolyte according to claim 1 , wherein the raw material for an electrolyte contains at least Li 2 S, and one or more sulfide(s) selected from P 2 S 3 , P 2 S 5 , SiS 2 , GeS 2 , B 2 S 3 and Al 2 S 3 , the method further comprising heat-treating the sulfides prior to said synthesizing. 5 . The method of producing a sulfide solid electrolyte according to claim 4 , wherein the raw material for an electrolyte contains at least Li 2 S and P 2 S 5 . 6 . The method of producing a sulfide solid electrolyte according to claim 1 , the method further comprising: after said synthesizing and prior to said heating in the flow of the gas, pulverizing the material for a sulfide solid electrolyte. 7 . The method of producing a sulfide solid electrolyte according to claim 1 , wherein in said heating in the flow of the gas, the material for a sulfide solid electrolyte is heated at a temperature of no less than a crystallization temperature of the material for a sulfide solid electrolyte, to obtain a sulfide solid electrolyte of glass ceramics.
