First, the release film was observed in the following manner. (1) I launched Keyence's VK-Viewer software and selected "Expert Mode." (2) The XY stage of the laser microscope was lowered. (3) Select "Z origin" and move the objective lens to the Z origin. (4) "Beginner Mode" was selected. (5) The rotation stage of the laser microscope was removed, and a release film was fixed to the rotation stage with the surface α on which the solid electrolyte layer was to be formed facing up, and the rotation stage was returned to its original position. (6) The lens was switched so that the measurement magnification was 50x, and the measurement position and focus were adjusted. (7) The measurement range in the height direction of the release film was set. (8) The brightness of the laser was adjusted, measurements were taken, and image data was obtained. Next, the obtained image data was linked by the following procedure. (10) Launched Keyence software VK-Assembler. (11) Select and open all the images to be linked. (12) Adjusted the image positions and concatenated all selected images. The concatenated images were then analyzed using the following procedure. (13) Launched Keyence's software VK-Analyzer. (14) The linked image data was subjected to pre-measurement processing. (15) The analytical method was selected and the analysis was performed.
[0076] That is, the surface α of the release film on which the solid electrolyte layer is to be formed was measured using a laser microscope VK-8700 manufactured by Keyence Corporation, set at a magnification of 50 times, and analyzed using software VK-Viewer, VK-Assembler, and VK-Analyzer manufactured by Keyence Corporation. The surface roughness R a and S C / S H obtained. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0077] An all-solid-state battery was manufactured by the following method. (1) A negative electrode active material (Li metal foil) was placed on a negative electrode current collector (stainless steel foil) to form a negative electrode. (2) Apply a solid electrolyte material (Li 7-x P.S. 6-x Cl x A slurry containing 1,2-dichlorophenyl ether was applied onto the substrate and dried to form a solid electrolyte layer. (3) The negative electrode and the solid electrolyte layer were laminated to obtain a laminate (I). (4) The release film was peeled off from the laminate (I). (5) A slurry containing a positive electrode active material (lithium-nickel-manganese composite oxide) was applied onto a positive electrode current collector (aluminum foil) and dried to form a positive electrode. (6) A positive electrode was laminated on the surface of the solid electrolyte layer of the laminate (I) from which the release film had been peeled off, to obtain a laminate (II). (7) Tabs were attached to both ends of the laminate (II) and then the laminate was sealed to obtain an all-solid-state battery.
[0078] <Cycle characteristics> The cycle characteristics of the all-solid-state battery were evaluated by repeatedly charging and discharging the all-solid-state battery obtained by the above method under the following charging and discharging conditions. Charging: constant current-constant voltage method, rate = 1 / 20C Discharge: constant current, rate = 1 / 20C Note that "C" is the symbol for the current rate (time rate). A rate of 1C will fully discharge the rated capacity of the battery in 1 hour. In the above cycle test, the ratio of the discharge capacity after the second charge / discharge to the initial discharge capacity is called the capacity retention rate. The battery was repeatedly charged and discharged under the above charge and discharge conditions, and the capacity retention rate after 100 charge and discharge tests, i.e., the 100th cycle, was determined and taken as the "cycle characteristics (@100 cycles)." The results are shown in Table 1.
