Abstract
Description
[Technical area]
[0001] The present disclosure relates to an ion-conductive solid state and a solid state battery. [Technical background]
[0002] Conventionally, lightweight and high-capacity lithium-ion secondary batteries have been included in mobile devices such as smartphones and notebooks, as well as in transportation devices such as electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles.
[0003] However, because conventional lithium-ion secondary batteries used liquids containing flammable solvents as electrolytes, there were concerns about the leakage of the flammable solvents and ignition in the event of a battery short circuit. Therefore, in recent years, attention has been turned to secondary batteries that use ion-conductive solids as electrolytes, which are different from liquid electrolytes, to ensure safety. Such secondary batteries have been called all-solid-state batteries.
[0004] Solid electrolytes such as oxide-based solid electrolytes and sulfide-based solid electrolytes are widely known as electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries. Among them, oxide-based solid electrolytes do not react with atmospheric moisture and do not generate hydrogen sulfide. Therefore, oxide-based solid electrolytes are safer than sulfide-based solid electrolytes.
[0005] Such an all-solid-state battery includes: a cathode comprising a cathode active material; an anode comprising an anode active material; an electrolyte disposed between the cathode and the anode and comprising an ion-conductive solid; and, if necessary, a current collector (the cathode active material and the anode active material are collectively referred to as "electrode active material"). In a case where the all-solid-state battery is manufactured using an oxide-based solid electrolyte, heat treatment is performed to reduce the contact resistance between the particles of an oxide-based material included in the solid electrolyte. However, with a conventional oxide-based solid electrolyte, a high temperature of 900°C or more is required for the heat treatment, and therefore the solid electrolyte and the electrode active material may react to form a high-resistance phase.The high-resistance phase can lead to a decrease in the ionic conductivity of the ion-conductive solid and thus to a reduction in the performance of the solid-state battery.
[0006] Examples of oxide-based solid electrolytes that can be prepared by heat treatment at a temperature below 900°C include Li 2+x C 1-x B x O 3 (Non-Patent Document 1).
[0007] Furthermore, it is disclosed that the properties can be improved by using the above-described Li 2+x C 1-x B x O 3 contain a specific element in a specific ratio (Patent Document 1).

[0008] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent No. 6948676 [Summary of the invention][Technical problem]
[0009] The present disclosure provides: an ion-conductive solid that can be produced by low-temperature heat treatment and has high ionic conductivity; and a solid-state battery comprising the ion-conductive solid. [Solution to the problem]
[0010] An ionically conductive solid of the present disclosure is an ionically conductive solid comprising an oxide represented by a general formula: Li 6+a-c-2d X 1-a-b-c-d M1 a M2 b M3 c M4 d B 3 O 9 (in the formula, X is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Lu, Ho, Er and Tm, M1 is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Mg, Mn, Zn, Ni, Ca, Sr and Ba, M2 is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Lu, In, Fe and Sc, M3 is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Zr, Ce, Hf, Sn and Ti, M4 is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Nb and Ta, and a is 0.000 ≤ a ≤ 0.800, b is 0.000 ≤ b ≤ 0.900, c is 0.000 ≤ c ≤ 0.800, d is 0.000 ≤ d ≤ 0.800, and a, b, c and d are real numbers satisfying 0.000 ≤ a + b + c + d < 1.000, provided that a case where X and M2 are the same metal elements is excluded).
[0011] A solid-state battery according to the present disclosure is a solid-state battery comprising at least: a cathode; an anode; and an electrolyte, wherein at least one selected from the group consisting of the cathode, the anode, and the electrolyte comprises the ion-conductive solid of the present disclosure. [Advantageous effects of the invention]
[0012] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, there can be obtained: an ion-conductive solid that can be produced by low-temperature heat treatment and has high ionic conductivity; and an all-solid-state battery comprising the ion-conductive solid. [Description of the embodiments]
[0013] In the present disclosure, the description "XX or more and YY or less" or "XX to YY" representing a numerical range means a numerical range that includes lower and upper limits, which are endpoints, unless otherwise specified. When describing numerical ranges incrementally, the upper and lower limits of each numerical range may optionally be combined.
[0014] In this disclosure, the term "solid" refers to the state of matter that has a specific shape and volume, in the three states of matter. A powdery state is included in "solid."
[0015] An ionically conductive solid of the present disclosure is an ionically conductive solid comprising an oxide represented by a general formula: Li 6+a-c-2d X 1-a-b-c-d M1 a M2 b M3 c M4 d B 3 O 9 .
[0016] In the formula, X is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Lu, Ho, Er and Tm, M1 is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Mg, Mn, Zn, Ni, Ca, Sr and Ba, M2 is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Lu, In, Fe and Sc, M3 is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Zr, Ce, Hf, Sn and Ti, M4 is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Nb and Ta, and a is 0.000 ≤ a ≤ 0.800, b is 0.000 ≤ b ≤ 0.900, c is 0.000 ≤ c ≤ 0.800, d is 0.000 ≤ d ≤ 0.800, and a, b, c and d are real numbers satisfying 0.000 ≤ a + b + c + d < 1.000, provided that a case where X and M2 are the same metal elements is excluded.
[0017] “A case where X and M2 are the same metal elements is excluded” refers to a case wherein, when X is Lu, M2 is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, In, Fe and Sc, wherein, when X is Ho, M2 is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Er, Tm, Lu, In, Fe and Sc, wherein, when X is Er, M2 is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Tm, Lu, In, Fe and Sc, or wherein, when X is Tm, M2 is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Lu, In, Fe and Sc.
[0018] The reason why the ion-conductive solid having the oxide represented by the above general formula is improved in its ion conductivity is presumed by the present inventors as follows.
[0019] The substitution of Y in Li 6 YB 3 O 9 , which is shown in Comparative Example 1 in Patent Document 1, by at least one element selected from the group consisting of Lu, Ho, Er, and Tm, which are metal elements with smaller ionic radii than Y, leads to a reduction in the lattice constant and the lattice volume. As a result, Li + move easily, and therefore the ionic conductivity is improved.
[0020] In Patent Document 1, Y, which is a trivalent metal element, is partially substituted by a quadrivalent to pentavalent metal element, that is, the substitution between elements different in valence provides adjustment of charge balance and improvement of ion-conductive properties.
[0021] The use of a metal element with a suitable ionic radius as metal element X instead of Y leads to a reduction in the lattice constant and lattice volume. As a result, Li + move more easily, further improving ionic conductivity. Furthermore, combined use with substitution between elements of different valences also corresponds to a preferred aspect.
[0022] X preferably has an ionic radius of 0.900 to 1.017 Å, more preferably 0.920 to 1.015 Å, even more preferably 0.940 to 1.015 Å, and most preferably 0.975 to 1.015 Å. The range described above leads to a reduction in the lattice constant and the lattice volume. As a result, Li + move easily, thereby improving ionic conductivity. An ionic radius of less than 0.900 Å cannot provide an objective monoclinic structure, so an ionically conductive solid cannot be achieved.
[0023] The values for the ionic radii can be those described in Non-Patent Document 2. For example, the ionic radius of Y 3+ 1.019 Å, the ionic radius of Lu 3+ is 0.977 Å, the ionic radius of Ho 3+ is 1.015 Å, the ionic radius of Er 3+ is 1.004 Å and the ionic radius of Tm 3+ is 0.994 Å.
[0024] The ion-conductive solid of the present disclosure preferably includes a monoclinic crystal structure.
[0025] The ion-conductive solid of the present disclosure preferably has a volume-average particle diameter of 0.1 µm or more and 28.0 µm or less, more preferably 0.2 µm or more and 26.0 µm or less, even more preferably 0.3 µm or more and 20.0 µm or less, even more preferably 0.3 µm or more and 15.0 µm or less, and even more preferably 0.5 µm or more and 10.0 µm or less. The above-described range leads to a reduction in grain boundary resistance in an ion-conductive solid and a further improvement in ionic conductivity.
[0026] The volume-average particle diameter of the ion-conductive solid can be controlled by pulverization or classification.

[0030] In the general formula above, d is a real number satisfying 0.000 ≤ d ≤ 0.800. d is 0.000 ≤ d ≤ 0.800, preferably 0.000 ≤ d ≤ 0.600, more preferably 0.000 ≤ d ≤ 0.400, even more preferably 0.000 ≤ d ≤ 0.100, particularly preferably 0.000 ≤ d ≤ 0.050, and most preferably 0.010 ≤ d ≤ 0.030.

[0032] In X 1-a-b-c-d The 1-abcd is preferably 0.300 ≤ 1-abcd, more preferably 0.500 ≤ 1-abcd, even more preferably 0.700 ≤ 1-abcd, and even more preferably 0.750 ≤ 1-abcd. The upper limit is not particularly limited and is preferably less than 1.000, 0.950 or less, or 0.900 or less. Examples preferably include ranges of 0.300 ≤ 1-abcd < 1.000, 0.500 ≤ 1-abcd ≤ 0.950, and 0.700 ≤ 1-abcd ≤ 0.900.
[0033] The ion-conductive solid of the present disclosure may have, for example, the following embodiments, but is not limited to the embodiments.
[0034] (1) It is allowed that a is 0.010 ≤ a ≤ 0.100, b is 0.000 ≤ b ≤ 0.200, c is 0.000 ≤ c ≤ 0.200, d is 0.010 ≤ d ≤ 0.100, and a, b, c and d satisfy 0.010 ≤ a + b + c + d < 0.300.

[0036] (3) It is allowed that a is 0.000 ≤ a ≤ 0.010, b is 0.000 ≤ b ≤ 0.100, c is 0.050 ≤ c ≤ 0.150, d is 0.000 ≤ d ≤ 0.030, and a, b, c and d satisfy 0.050 ≤ a + b + c + d < 0.250.
[0037] M1, M2, M3, and M4 in the above general formula are optional. In other words, at least one of a, b, c, and d can be zero.
[0038] In the above general formula, M1 is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Mg, Mn, Zn, Ni, Ca, Sr and Ba.
[0039] M1 is at least one selected from the group consisting of Mg, Mn, Zn, Ni, Ca, Sr and Ba, preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of Mg, Zn, Ca, Sr and Ba, and more preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of Mg, Ca and Sr.

This creates a state in which Li + is deficient in the crystal lattice. Li + , which is located near a place where Li + missing, moves to fill this spot, thereby improving ionic conductivity.
[0047] A method for producing the ion-conductive solid of the present disclosure is described below.

[0051] The method for producing the ion-conductive solid of the present disclosure may include the primary firing step of weighing and mixing the raw materials to obtain the oxide represented by the above general formula, heat-treating the raw materials at a temperature lower than the melting point of the oxide, and thereby producing the ion-conductive solid including the oxide. The ion-conductive solid may be obtained through the primary firing step.
[0052] The method may further include, if necessary, a secondary firing step in which the ion-conductive solid containing the obtained oxide is heat-treated at a temperature below the melting point of the oxide and a sintered body of the ion-conductive solid containing the oxide is produced.
[0053] The method for producing the ion-conductive solid of the present disclosure, which includes the above-described primary firing step and the above-described secondary firing step, will be described in detail below. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the following method. Primary firing step
[0054] In the primary firing step, raw materials such as Li 2 CO 3 , H 3 BO 3 , Ho 2 O 3 , ZrO 2 , CEO 2 or HfO 2 of chemical reagent grade in stoichiometric amounts and mixed to obtain a general formula: Li 6+a-c-2d X 1-a-b-c-d M1 a M2 b M3 c M4 d B 3 O 9 (wherein X is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Lu, Ho, Er and Tm, M1 is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Mg, Mn, Zn, Ni, Ca, Sr and Ba, M2 is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Lu, In, Fe and Sc, M3 is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Zr, Ce, Hf, Sn and Ti, M4 is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Nb and Ta, and a is 0.000 ≤ a ≤ 0.800, b is 0.000 ≤ b ≤ 0.900, c is 0.000 ≤ c ≤ 0.800, d is 0.000 ≤ d ≤ 0.800, and a, b, c and d are real numbers satisfying 0.000 ≤ a + b + c + d < 1.000, provided that a case where X and M2 are the same metal elements is excluded).
[0055] The equipment used for mixing is not particularly limited. For example, a pulverization-type mixer such as a planetary ball mill can be used as the equipment. The material and capacity of a container used in mixing, as well as the material and diameter of the ball, are not particularly limited and can be selected according to the type and quantity of raw materials used. For example, a 45 mL container made of zirconia and a 5 mm diameter ball made of zirconia can be used. In addition, the mixing treatment conditions are not particularly limited, but can be set to a speed of 50 to 2000 rpm and a time of 10 to 60 minutes, for example.
[0056] The powder mixture of each of the raw materials described above is obtained through the mixing treatment. The resulting powder mixture is then molded under pressure to produce pellets. As the pressure molding method, a known pressure molding method such as a cold uniaxial molding method or a cold isostatic pressure molding method can be used. The pressure molding condition in the primary firing step is not particularly limited, but can be set to a pressure of, for example, 100 MPa to 200 MPa.
[0057] The resulting pellets are fired using a device such as an atmospheric furnace. The temperature at which the primary firing and solid-phase synthesis are carried out is not particularly limited, as long as the temperature is below the melting point of the ion-conductive solid, which is represented by the general formula: Li 6+a-c-2d X 1-a-b-c-d M1 a M2 b M3 c M4d B 3 O 9 . A temperature at which the primary firing is performed can be set, for example, to less than 700°C, 680°C or less, 670°C or less, 660°C or less, or 650°C or less, and, for example, to 500°C or more. The numerical ranges can be optionally combined. The temperature in such a range as described above sufficiently enables solid-phase synthesis. The duration of the primary firing step is not particularly limited, but can be set, for example, to about 700 to 750 minutes.
[0058] The primary firing step described above enables the production of the ion-conductive solid containing the oxide represented by the general formula above: Li 6+a-c-2d X 1-a-b-c-d M1 a M2 b M3 c M4 d B 3 O 9. The powder of the ion-conductive solid containing the oxide can also be obtained by pulverizing the ion-conductive solid containing the oxide with a mortar / pepper or a planetary mill. Secondary firing step
[0059] In the secondary firing step, the sintered body of the ion-conductive solid containing the oxide is obtained by optionally pressure-molding and firing at least one selected from the group consisting of the ion-conductive solid containing the oxide obtained in the primary firing step and the powder of the ion-conductive solid containing the oxide.
[0060] It is acceptable to simultaneously perform compression molding and secondary firing using discharge plasma sintering (hereinafter also referred to simply as "SPS"), hot pressing, or the like, or it is acceptable to produce pellets by uniaxial cold forming and then perform secondary firing in an ambient atmosphere, an oxidizing atmosphere, a reducing atmosphere, or the like. The conditions described above make it possible to obtain an ion-conductive solid with high ionic conductivity without causing melting by heat treatment. The conditions for compression molding in the secondary firing step are not particularly limited, but can be set to a pressure of, for example, 10 MPa to 100 MPa.
[0061] The temperature at which the secondary firing is carried out is lower than the melting point of the ion-conductive solid, which is represented by the general formula: Li 6+a-c-2d X 1-a-b-c-d M1 a M2 b M3 c M4 d B 3 O 9The temperature at which the secondary firing is performed is preferably less than 700°C, more preferably 680°C or less, even more preferably 670°C or less, and particularly preferably 660°C or less. The lower limit of the temperature is not particularly limited. It is preferable to lower the lower limit as much as possible. For example, the lower limit is 500°C or more. The numerical ranges can be optionally combined and set in a range of, for example, 500°C or more and less than 700°C. The above-described range enables the ion-conductive solid of the present disclosure including the oxide to be prevented from melting or decomposing in the secondary firing step, and the sintered body of the ion-conductive solid of the present disclosure including the oxide that has been sufficiently sintered to be obtained.
[0062] The time for the secondary firing step can be changed depending on the temperature or pressure at which the secondary firing step is performed, etc., but is preferably 24 hours or less, and may be set to 14 hours or less. The time for the secondary firing step can be set to, for example, 5 minutes or more, 1 hour or more, and 6 hours or more.
[0063] A method for cooling the sintered body of the ion-conductive solid of the present disclosure including the oxide obtained in the secondary firing step is not particularly limited, but may be subjected to natural radiation cooling (radiation cooling in a furnace), rapid cooling, or cooling slower than natural radiation cooling, or may be maintained at a certain temperature during cooling.
[0064] A solid-state battery of the present disclosure will be described below.

The cathode may include a cathode active material or may include a cathode active material and the ion-conductive solid of the present disclosure. As the cathode active material, a known cathode active material such as a sulfide containing a transition metal element or an oxide containing lithium and a transition metal element can be used without particular limitation. Examples include LiNiVO 4 , LiCoPO 4 , LiCoVO 4 , LiMn 1.6 No 0.4 O 4 , LiMn 2 O 4 , LiCoO 2 , Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 , LiFePO 4 , LiNi 1 / 3 Mn 1 / 3 Co 1 / 3 O 2 , LiNi 1 / 2 Mn 1 / 2 O 2 , LiNiO 2 , Li 1-x (Fe,Mn,Co) 1-x O 2 , LiNi 0,8 Co 0,15 Al 0,05 O 2 .
[0071] Furthermore, the cathode may include a binder, an electrically conductive agent, and / or the like. Examples of the binder include polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, and polyvinyl alcohol. Examples of the electrically conductive agent include natural graphite, artificial graphite, acetylene black, and ethylene black.
[0072] The all-solid-state battery of the present disclosure includes the anode. The anode may include the anode active material or may include the anode active material and the ion-conductive solid of the present disclosure. As the anode active material, a known anode active material such as an inorganic compound such as lithium, a lithium alloy, or a tin compound, a carbonaceous material capable of absorbing and releasing lithium ions, or a conductive polymer may be used without particular limitation. Examples include Li 4 Ti 5 O12 .
[0073] Furthermore, the anode may comprise a binder, an electrically conductive agent, and / or the like. Similar binders and electrically conductive agents as used in the cathode may be used as the binder and electrically conductive agent.
[0074] As used herein, the term "electrode having electrode active material" means that an electrode has an electrode active material as a constituent, element, or property. For example, a case where an electrode active material is contained in an electrode and a case where an electrode active material is applied to a surface of an electrode also correspond to the term "having" described above.
[0075] The cathode and the anode can be manufactured by a known method such as mixing, molding, heat treatment, or the like of raw materials. Thus, it is assumed that the ion-conductive solid penetrates into gaps and the like between such electrode active materials to facilitate the safety of a conduction path for lithium ions. It is assumed that the formation of a high-resistance phase resulting from the reaction between the ion-conductive solid and the electrode active material can be suppressed because the ion-conductive solid of the present disclosure can be manufactured by heat treatment at a low temperature compared to conventional technologies.
[0076] The cathode and anode described above may comprise the current collector. A known current collector such as aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, nickel, iron, calcined carbon, a conductive polymer, or electrically conductive glass can be used as the current collector. Furthermore, aluminum, copper, or the like, whose surface is treated with carbon, nickel, titanium, silver, or the like to improve adhesion, electrical conductivity, oxidation resistance, and the like, can be used as the current collector.
[0077] The all-solid-state battery of the present disclosure can be manufactured by a known method, for example, in which the cathode, the solid electrolyte, and the anode are layered, formed, and heat-treated. It is believed that the formation of a high-resistance phase caused by the reaction between the ion-conductive solid and the electrode active material can be suppressed because the ion-conductive solid of the present disclosure can be manufactured by heat treatment at a low temperature compared to conventional technologies. Therefore, it is believed that the all-solid-state battery with superior performance characteristics can be obtained.
[0078] The following describes a method for measuring the composition and each physical property according to the present disclosure. -Methods for identifying and analyzing the metals contained
[0079] The composition of the ion-conductive solid is analyzed by wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis (hereinafter also referred to as "XRF") using a sample solidified by a compression molding method. However, if analysis is difficult due to particle size effects or the like, it is preferable to vitrify the ion-conductive solid using a glass bead technique and analyze its composition by XRF. If the peaks of yttrium and the peaks of the contained metals in the XRF overlap, the composition analysis is preferably performed by inductively coupled plasma spectrochemical analysis (ICP-AES).
[0080] For XRF, the ZSX Primus II, manufactured by Rigaku Corporation, is used as the analyzer. The analysis conditions are set to use Rh as the anode of an X-ray tube, a vacuum atmosphere, an analysis diameter of 10 mm, an analysis range of 17 degrees to 81 degrees, a step of 0.01 degrees, and a scan speed of 5 seconds per step. Furthermore, detection is performed by a proportional counter when measuring a light element and by a scintillation counter when measuring a heavy element.
[0081] The identification of an element is done based on the peak position of an XRF spectrum, and the molar ratios of the concentrations are calculated based on a count rate (unit: cps), i.e. the number of X-ray photons per unit time, to determine a, b, c and d. Examples

The sintered bodies of the ion-conductive solids containing the oxides of Examples 1 to 47, 101 to 144, 201 to 242, and 301 to 342 were subjected to composition analysis according to the methods described above. Furthermore, the volume-average particle diameters of the powders of the ion-conductive solids obtained in Examples 1 to 47, 101 to 144, 201 to 242, and 301 to 342 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 and the ionic conductivities of the sintered bodies of the ion-conductive solids were measured according to the following methods.
[0276] The methods for measuring ionic conductivities and volume-average particle diameters are described below. The evaluation results obtained are listed in Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, and Table 4. -Measurement of ionic conductivity
[0277] Two parallel, large-area surfaces of the sintered body of the ion-conductive solid containing the oxide obtained by secondary firing, which had a flat plate shape, were polished with sandpaper. The size of the sintered body of the ion-conductive solid containing the oxide and having the flat plate shape can be set to, for example, 0.9 cm × 0.9 cm × 0.05 cm, but is not limited to this. Polishing was first performed with #500 for 15 to 30 minutes, then with #1000 for 10 to 20 minutes, and finally with #2000 for 5 to 10 minutes. It was completed when no noticeable depression / protrusion or defect was visually observed on the polished surfaces.
[0278] After polishing, gold was deposited on the polished surfaces of the sintered body of the ion-conductive solid containing the oxide using an SC-701MkII ADVANCE sputtering device from Sanyu Electron Co., Ltd. A sample was prepared using the deposition conditions of Ar gas, a vacuum of 2 Pa to 5 Pa, and a deposition time of 5 minutes. After deposition, the AC impedance of the sample was measured.
[0279] For impedance measurement, an SI1260 impedance / gain phase analyzer and a 1296 dielectric interface system (both manufactured by Solartron) were used, and the measurement conditions were set to a temperature of 27°C, an amplitude of 20 mV, and a frequency of 0.1 Hz to 1 MHz.
[0280] The resistance of the ion-conductive solid oxide sintered body was calculated using a Nyquist plot obtained from the impedance measurement and the AC analysis software ZVIEW manufactured by Scribner. Using ZVIEW, an equivalent circuit corresponding to the sample was set up, and the fitting and analysis of the equivalent circuit and Nyquist plot were performed to calculate the resistance of the ion-conductive solid oxide sintered body. The ionic conductivity was calculated using the following equation using the calculated resistance, the thickness of the ion-conductive solid oxide sintered body, and the electrode area. Ionic conductivity (S / cm) = thickness (cm) of the sintered body of the ionically conductive solid containing oxide / (resistivity (Ω) of the sintered body of the ionically conductive solid containing oxide × electrode area (cm2))
[0281] For example, the ionic conductivity (S / cm) of the sintered body of the ion-conductive solid is preferably 8.00 × 10 -9 or more, more preferably 1.00 × 10 -8 or more, more preferably 1.00 × 10 -7 or more, more preferably 1.00 × 10 -6 or more, and particularly preferably 1.00 × 10 -5 or more. More preferred is the conductivity whose upper limit is not particularly limited and, for example, 1.00 × 10 -2 or less, 1.00 × 10 -3 or less, and 1.00 × 10 -4 or less. -Evaluation of the volume-average particle diameter
[0282] The particle size distribution of the ion-conductive solid powder containing the oxide obtained by treatment in a ball mill (Planetary Mill P-7, manufactured by Fritsch GmbH) after the first firing was measured using a laser diffraction / scattering particle size distribution measuring device LA-960V2 manufactured by HORIBA, Ltd. The refractive index was set to 1.8, and ethanol was used as the measuring solvent. The sample concentration was adjusted so that the transmittance was 90 to 70%. The volume-average particle diameter was calculated from the obtained frequency distribution. -Results
[0283] The stoichiometric amounts (values of a, b, c, and d in the general formula: Li 6+a-c-2d X 1-a-b-c-d M1 a M2 b M3 c M4 d B 3 O 9) of the raw materials, the volume-average particle diameters and the ionic conductivities in the case of producing each of the sintered bodies of the ion-conductive solids including the oxides of Examples 1 to 47, 101 to 144, 201 to 242 and 301 to 342 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 are shown in Table 1, Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4.
[0284] As a result of the composition analysis described above, it was confirmed that all of the sintered bodies of the ion-conductive solids containing the oxides of Examples 1 to 47, 101 to 144, 201 to 242, and 301 to 342 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 had the compositions in the stoichiometric amounts of the raw materials shown in Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, and Table 4. Furthermore, the sintered bodies of the ion-conductive solids containing the oxides of Examples 1 to 47, 101 to 144, 201 to 242, and 301 to 342 were ion-conductive solids, indicating the high ionic conductivities even when firing was performed at a temperature of less than 700°C.

[0288] In the table, Comparative Examples 1 to 3 each correspond to the oxide represented by the general formula: Li 6+a-c-2d Y 1-a-b-c-d M1 a M2b M3 c M4 d B 3 O 9 .
[0289] Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, and Table 4 show the results in which the ionic conductivities of the ionic conductive solids prepared in Examples 1, 101, 201, and 301 were improved compared to those of Comparative Example 1, and the results in which higher ionic conductivities were obtained by substituting Y with at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Lu, Ho, Er, and Tm. It can be seen that higher ionic conductivities are obtained by substituting Y in the composition disclosed in the related art with at least one metal element having small ionic radii selected from the group consisting of Lu, Ho, Er, and Tm.
[0290] Table 1 shows the result in which the ionic conductivities of the ionic conductive solids prepared in Examples 1 to 3 were improved compared to those in Comparative Examples 1 to 3, and the results in which higher ionic conductivities were achieved by substituting Y with Lu. It can be seen that higher ionic conductivity is achieved by substituting Y in the composition disclosed in the related art with Lu, which has a small ionic radius.
[0291] The results are also demonstrated in which the ionic conductivities of the ion-conductive solids prepared in Examples 44 to 46 were improved compared to those in Examples 16, 26, and 32, respectively. Since the compositions of the substituted elements are different from those disclosed in the related art, the influences of differences between melting points and the like on the densities after firing may lead to different suitable ranges of particle diameters.
[0292] Table 2 shows the result in which the ionic conductivities of the ionic conductive solids prepared in Examples 101 to 103 were improved compared to those in Comparative Examples 1 to 3, and the results in which higher ionic conductivities were achieved by substituting Y with Ho. It can be seen that higher ionic conductivity is achieved by substituting Y in the composition disclosed in the related art with Ho, which has a small ionic radius.
[0293] The results are also demonstrated in which the ionic conductivities of the ion-conductive solids prepared in Examples 142 to 144 were improved compared to those in Examples 115, 125, and 131, respectively. Since the compositions of the substituted elements are different from those disclosed in the related art, the influences of differences between melting points and the like on the densities after firing may lead to different suitable ranges of particle diameters.
[0294] Table 3 shows the result in which the ionic conductivities of the ionic conductive solids prepared in Examples 201 to 203 were improved compared to those in Comparative Examples 1 to 3, and the results in which higher ionic conductivities were obtained by substituting Y with Er. It can be seen that higher ionic conductivity is achieved by substituting Y in the composition disclosed in the related art with Er, which has a small ionic radius.
[0295] The results are also demonstrated in which the ionic conductivities of the ion-conductive solids prepared in Examples 240 to 242 were improved compared to those in Examples 215, 225, and 231, respectively. Since the compositions of the substituted elements are different from those disclosed in the related art, the influences of differences between melting points and the like on the densities after firing may lead to the various suitable ranges of particle diameters.
[0296] Table 4 shows the result in which the ionic conductivities of the ionic conductive solids prepared in Examples 301 to 303 were improved compared to those in Comparative Examples 1 to 3, respectively, and the results in which higher ionic conductivities were achieved by substituting Y with Tm. It can be seen that higher ionic conductivity is achieved by substituting Y in the composition disclosed in the related art with Tm, which has a small ionic radius.
[0297] The results are also demonstrated in which the ionic conductivities of the ion-conductive solids prepared in Examples 340 to 342 were improved compared to those in Examples 315, 324, and 330, respectively. Since the compositions of the substituted elements are different from those disclosed in the related art, the influences of differences between melting points and the like on the densities after firing may lead to different suitable ranges of particle diameters.
