Development is underway to develop small or thin, high-capacity secondary batteries that can be built into electronic devices.

[0005] A liquid such as an organic solvent is used as a medium for moving the lithium ions, which are carrier ions. However, secondary batteries that use liquids are widely used. In this case, since a liquid is used, there is a problem of decomposition reaction of the electrolyte depending on the temperature range and potential used.

[0010] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-230889 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-023032 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-229308 [Patent Document 4] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-229315 [Patent Document 5] JP 2018-98200 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0011] To provide an all-solid-state secondary battery that is safer than conventional lithium-ion secondary batteries.

[0012] By using an all-solid-state secondary battery, electrolyte leakage, which was a problem with secondary batteries that use electrolyte, is eliminated. This has solved the problem of deterioration due to changes in the electrolyte, but other problems remain.

[0013] In addition, when silicon is used as the negative electrode active material particles in an all-solid-state secondary battery, the negative electrode There is a problem that the active material particles expand and contract.

[0014] In addition, there is also the problem of minute short circuits (hereinafter referred to as micro-short circuits) occurring in all-solid-state secondary batteries. Therefore, in all-solid-state secondary batteries, the problem of the Another objective is to prevent the occurrence of short circuits or micro-short circuits. [Means for solving the problem]

[0015] In order to solve the above problem, the expansion or contraction of the negative electrode active material particles caused by charging and discharging is suppressed. In order to achieve this, a graphene compound is used to bind a negative electrode active material particle or multiple negative electrode active material particles. Or fix it.

[0016] In all-solid-state secondary batteries, the interface between the solid electrolyte and the negative electrode or the interface between the solid electrolyte and the positive electrode is the most In order to reduce this interface resistance, at least the negative electrode active material particles are grapheneized. Alternatively, the positive electrode active material particles can be wrapped in a graphene compound to enhance conductivity. Graphene compounds are permeable to carrier ions, such as lithium ions, , and does not inhibit the movement of lithium ions between the positive electrode and the negative electrode during charging or discharging.

[0017] In addition, a graphene compound is used to bind or bind a negative electrode active material particle or a plurality of negative electrode active material particles. By fixing the material, the generation of by-products (precipitates, etc.) is inhibited, and the occurrence of micro-short circuits is prevented. It can be suppressed.

[0018] A micro-short circuit refers to a minute short circuit inside a secondary battery. The positive and negative electrodes of the battery are not short-circuited to the point that charging and discharging becomes impossible, but rather there is a small short circuit. This refers to the phenomenon in which a slight short-circuit current flows for a period of 10 nanoseconds or more but less than 1 microsecond. The cause of micro-short circuits is the breakdown of positive electrode active material particles due to repeated charge and discharge. The uneven distribution of the molecules causes localized current concentration in parts of the positive electrode and negative electrode, resulting in separation. This may cause parts of the data to stop functioning or may cause side reactions (such as precipitates) to occur. The purpose is to

[0019] Furthermore, repeated micro-short circuits can cause abnormal heating and fire in the secondary battery. This could lead to a serious accident.

[0020] Therefore, in order to prevent local current concentration on a part of the negative electrode and a part of the positive electrode, The inside is wrapped in a graphene compound and fixed in place, increasing conductivity.

[0023] In this specification, graphene refers to a single-layer graphene having a carbon hexagonal lattice structure. or multi-layer graphene with 2 to 100 layers. Fen) is sp 2 It refers to a sheet of carbon molecules with one atomic layer of bonds. When we refer to graphene, we are referring to multi-layer graphene or multiple single layers of graphene. In addition, graphene is not limited to being composed of only carbon, and some of it may contain oxygen, hydrogen, or functional groups. Graphene compounds can be bonded to graphene quantum dots. Graphene compounds have excellent electrical properties, such as high conductivity, and high flexibility. It may also have excellent physical properties such as flexibility and high mechanical strength. The graphene compound has a planar shape. In addition, even if they are thin, they can have very high conductivity, and can be used efficiently with a small amount. A conductive path can be formed within the material layer. The graphene compound may be formed as a coating covering the entire surface of the substrate. The compound may be, for example, graphene, multigraphene, graphene quantum dots, or RG It is particularly preferable to use RGO. Here, RGO is, for example, graphene oxide (graph It refers to a compound obtained by reducing olefin oxide (GO).

[0024] In addition, another aspect of the present invention is a structure comprising a plurality of positive electrode active material particles containing carrier ions and a plurality of negative electrode active material particles. a material particle, a plurality of solid electrolyte particles, and a plurality of graphene compounds, It is an all-solid-state battery in which multiple positive electrode active material particles are fixed with one or more graphene compounds. .

[0025] In the above-mentioned configuration, an oxide containing lithium and cobalt is used as the positive electrode active material particles. The positive electrode active material particles preferably have a crystal structure represented by the space group R-3m, for example. It is more preferable that the positive electrode active material particles have the following characteristics, particularly when the depth of charge is deep: It preferably has a pseudospinel structure, which will be described later.

[0026] In addition, the concentration of halogens such as fluorine in the surface layer of the positive electrode active material particles is higher than the average concentration of the entire particle. The presence of halogen in the surface layer, which is the region in contact with the electrolyte, This effectively improves corrosion resistance to hydrofluoric acid.

[0027] In this way, the surface layer of the positive electrode active material particles has a higher fluorine concentration than the inside. It is preferable that the composition has a stable crystal structure at room temperature. Therefore, the surface layer may have a different crystal structure from the inside. At least a part of the surface layer of the porous particle may have a rock salt type crystal structure. When the surface and interior have different crystal structures, the orientation of the crystals in the surface and interior must be roughly the same. It is preferable that:

[0028] The surface layer of the positive electrode active material particle contains at least element M, and also contains element A in a discharged state. It is necessary to have a path for insertion and desorption of element A. Note that element A acts as a carrier ion. The element A is, for example, an alkali metal such as lithium, sodium, or potassium. and Group 2 elements such as calcium, beryllium, and magnesium can be used. If sodium is selected, the carrier ion is a sodium ion.

[0029] The element M is, for example, a transition metal. Examples of the transition metal include cobalt, manganese, and nickel. The positive electrode material of one embodiment of the present invention can be, for example, a material containing an element M and at least one of the elements The alloy preferably contains one or more of cobalt, nickel, and manganese, and more preferably contains cobalt. In addition, it is preferable that the position of element M is replaced with a material such as aluminum that does not change the valence and is the same as element M. It may contain an element that can take a valence, more specifically, for example, a trivalent typical element.

[0030] In addition, both the positive electrode active material particles and the negative electrode active material particles are wrapped in their respective graphene compounds. The configuration may be a plurality of positive electrode active material particles containing carrier ions and a plurality of first The solid electrolyte particles and the first graphene compound are at least partially or completely wrapped together, forming a composite. Both the plurality of negative electrode active material particles and the plurality of second solid electrolyte particles are covered with a second graphene compound. a second graphene compound that at least partially or completely envelops and overlaps the first graphene compound; It is an all-solid-state battery with a third solid electrolyte particle between the two.

A plurality of groups of electrolyte particles wrapped in a first graphene compound are adjacent to each other, and a plurality of negative electrode active The material particles and the plurality of second solid electrolyte particles are wrapped in a second graphene compound, and the first graphene compound is The whole structure has a third solid electrolyte particle between the group of graphene compounds and the second graphene compound overlapping the group of graphene compounds. It is a solid-state battery.

[0032] In each of the above configurations, the first, second, and third solid electrolyte particles have the same component. When a material having the component is used, the manufacturing cost can be reduced because a common material is used. The first, second, and third solid electrolyte particles may be made of different materials. In this case, a material that is compatible with the positive electrode active material particles to be used is used for the first solid electrolyte particles. Therefore, a material that is compatible with the negative electrode active material particles is used for the second solid electrolyte particles. This means that no unwanted by-products are generated when the material is brought into contact with the battery for charging or discharging.

[0033] By adopting the above-mentioned configurations, the generation of by-products (precipitates, etc.) on the negative electrode is prevented, and The occurrence of short circuits can be suppressed.

[0034] All-solid-state batteries do not use flammable organic solvents inside the battery, which simplifies safety devices and makes manufacturing easier. It has excellent cost and productivity.

[0035] In addition, graphene or graphene can be obtained by subjecting graphene oxide to reduction treatment or the like. A compound is formed.

[0036] Graphene oxide contains epoxy groups, carbonyl groups, carboxyl groups, hydroxyl groups, etc. In a polar solution, the oxygen in the functional group of graphene oxide is negatively charged. Therefore, different graphene oxides are unlikely to aggregate with each other. In this case, graphene oxide tends to be dispersed uniformly.

[0037] In each of the above configurations, the solid electrolyte particles are a sulfide-based solid electrolyte or an oxide-based solid electrolyte. Quality can be used.

[0038] Examples of sulfide-based solid electrolytes include Li2S-SiS2-Li3PO4, Li2S -P2S5, Li2S-SiS2-Ga2S3, LiI-Li2S-P2S5, LiI- Li2S-B2S3, LiI-Li2S-SiS2, Li3PO4-Li2S-SiS2 and lithium composite sulfide materials such as Li4SiO4-Li2S-SiS2.

It is possible for defects such as cation or anion deficiencies to exist. Strictly speaking, the layered rock salt crystal structure is a case where the lattice of the rock salt crystal is distorted. There is.

[0044] In this specification and the like, the rock salt type crystal structure refers to a structure in which cations and anions are arranged alternately. It is possible for there to be a deficiency of cations or anions.

[0045] In the present specification and the like, the pseudospinel type of the composite oxide containing lithium and a transition metal The crystal structure of this is in the space group R-3m, and is not a spinel-type crystal structure, but it is a cobalt-based Ions such as magnesium ions occupy the oxygen hexacoordinated positions, and the arrangement of cations is similar to that of spinel. It refers to a crystalline structure with symmetry. The pseudospinel type crystalline structure is characterized by the absence of light elements such as lithium. The atoms may occupy the oxygen tetracoordinate positions, and in this case the ionic arrangement is similar to that of the spinel type. It has symmetry.

[0046] The pseudospinel crystal structure has random Li between layers, but the CdCl2 type It can be said that this CdCl2-type similar crystal structure is The crystal structure is shown in Fig. 1 when lithium nickel oxide is charged to a charge depth of 0.94 (Li 0.06 Ni O2), but pure lithium cobaltate or cobalt-rich layered It is known that rock salt type positive electrode active material particles do not usually have this crystal structure.

[0047] Layered rock salt crystals and the anions of rock salt crystals are in a cubic close-packed structure (face-centered cubic lattice structure) ) It is assumed that the anions in pseudospinel crystals also have a cubic close-packed structure. When they contact, there exists a crystal plane where the orientation of the cubic close-packed structure formed by the anions is aligned. However, the space group of layered rock salt crystals and pseudospinel crystals is R-3m, and The space groups of the rock salt crystals are Fm-3m (the common rock salt crystal space group) and Fd-3m (the simplest Since the space group is different from that of rock salt crystals, which have a perfect symmetry, the crystal plane must be The Lahr index is different between layered rock salt crystals and pseudospinel crystals and between rock salt crystals. In the layered rock salt crystal, pseudospinel crystal, and rock salt crystal, When the orientation of the cubic close-packed structure is aligned, the crystal orientation is roughly the same. There is.

[0048] The crystal orientation of the two regions roughly coincides with each other, as can be seen from TEM (transmission electron microscope) images and STE M (scanning transmission electron microscope) image, HAADF-STEM (high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscope) image This should be judged from images such as annular bright-field scanning transmission electron microscope (ABF-STEM) images. X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron diffraction, neutron diffraction, etc. can also be used as a basis for judgment. In TEM images, the arrangement of cations and anions is observed as repeated bright and dark lines. When the orientation of the cubic close-packed structure in the layered rock salt crystal and the rock salt crystal is aligned, the crystal The angle between the repeated bright and dark lines is 5 degrees or less, preferably 2.5 degrees or less. In addition, light elements such as oxygen and fluorine can be clearly observed in TEM images. In some cases, it may not be possible to determine the alignment of the metal elements. do.

The theoretical capacity of LiCoO2 is 27 4mAh / g, the theoretical capacity of LiNiO2 is 274mAh / g, the theoretical capacity of LiMn2O4 is 148mAh / g.

[0050] In this specification, the depth of charge when all intercalable and detachable lithium is intercalated is The depth of charge when all the intercalable lithium in the positive electrode active material is deintercalated is 0, and the depth of charge when all the intercalable lithium in the positive electrode active material is deintercalated is 1. Let's assume that this is the case.

[0051] In this specification, charging refers to transferring lithium ions from the positive electrode to the negative electrode in the battery. The positive electrode active material moves electrons from the negative electrode to the positive electrode in an external circuit. In this case, the process of releasing lithium ions is called charging. Also, when the charge depth is 0.7 or more, Positive electrode active materials with a voltage of 0.9 or less are sometimes referred to as positive electrode active materials charged at a high voltage.

[0052] Similarly, discharging involves transferring lithium ions from the negative electrode to the positive electrode within the battery and discharging them into the external circuit. The positive electrode active material is lithium. The insertion of ions is called discharging. The positive electrode active material is fully discharged from a high voltage charged state to 90% or more of its charge capacity. This refers to the positive electrode active material that has been discharged in minutes. [Effects of the Invention]

[0053] The graphene compound is used to fix the negative electrode active material particles or the positive electrode active material particles in a manner that wraps around them. This relieves stress caused by expansion or contraction of the negative electrode active material particles or the positive electrode active material particles. Therefore, the negative electrode active material particles or the positive electrode active material particles may expand or shrink during charging or discharging. This can prevent deterioration of characteristics due to shrinkage. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0084] In addition, similar to the negative electrode shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of groups are formed with the second graphene compound 102. After forming a positive electrode, the positive electrode may be laminated with the negative electrode shown in FIG. 4 to produce an all-solid-state battery.

[0085] In addition, after forming a positive electrode without wrapping the positive electrode current collector with the second graphene compound 102, Alternatively, the cathode may be laminated with the cathode to prepare an all-solid-state battery.

[0086] This embodiment mode can be freely combined with Embodiment Mode 1 or 2.

[0087] For example, the positive electrode wrapped with a graphene compound shown in FIG. 3 and the positive electrode wrapped with a graphene compound shown in this embodiment An all-solid-state battery may be fabricated by combining it with the negative electrode shown in FIG.

[0088] (Fourth embodiment) In this embodiment, an example of a method for manufacturing a positive electrode will be described.

[0089] An example of a method for manufacturing a positive electrode active material will be described with reference to FIG.

[0090] As shown in step S11 of FIG. 11, first, a fluorine source, Prepare lithium fluoride and magnesium fluoride as a magnesium source. However, lithium fluoride has a relatively low melting point of 848°C, making it easy to melt during the annealing process described below. Lithium fluoride can be used as both a lithium source and a fluorine source. Magnesium fluoride can be used as both a fluorine source and a magnesium source. Cut.

[0091] In this embodiment, lithium fluoride LiF is prepared as a fluorine source and a lithium source, Magnesium fluoride (MgF2) will be prepared as a fluorine source and magnesium source. (Step S11 in FIG. 11). The ratio of LiF to MgF is preferably LiF:MgF2=x:1 (0≦x≦1.9), and LiF: MgF2=x:1 (0.1≦x≦0.5) is more preferable, LiF:MgF2=x:1 ( x=near 0.33) is more preferable.

[0092] If the subsequent mixing and grinding steps are to be carried out wet, a solvent is prepared. ketones such as acetone, alcohols such as ethanol and isopropanol, ethers, di- Xanthan Gum, acetonitrile, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), etc. can be used. It is more preferable to use an aprotic solvent that is less likely to react with lithium. In this embodiment, acetone is used (see step S11 in FIG. 11).

[0093] Next, the materials of the mixture 902 are mixed and crushed (step S12 in FIG. 11). Mixing can be done in a dry or wet manner, but the wet method allows for smaller particles to be crushed. For example, a ball mill, a bead mill, etc. can be used for mixing. When using balls, it is preferable to use zirconia balls as the media. It is preferable to carry out the above mixing and grinding steps sufficiently to pulverize the mixture 902 into fine powder.

[0094] The mixed and crushed materials are collected (step S13 in FIG. 11) to obtain a mixture 902. (Step S14 in Figure 11).

[0095] The mixture 902 preferably has a D50 of, for example, 600 nm or more and 20 μm or less. It is more preferable that the particle size is 1 μm or more and 10 μm or less. 2, when mixed with a composite oxide containing lithium, a transition metal, and oxygen in a later process, In addition, it is easy to uniformly attach the mixture 902 to the surface of the composite oxide particles. If the mixture 902 is uniformly attached to the surface of the composite oxide particles, the mixture 902 will leak onto the surface layer of the composite oxide particles after heating. This is preferable because it is easy to distribute halogen and magnesium in the surface layer. If there is a region that does not contain magnesium, the pseudospinel crystals described above will form in the charged state. It may be difficult to achieve the structure.

[0096] Next, a lithium source is prepared as shown in step S25. A composite oxide containing lithium, a transition metal, and oxygen that has been synthesized in advance is used.

[0097] For example, as a pre-synthesized lithium cobalt oxide, Lithium cobalt oxide particles (product name: Cellseed C-10N) can be used. The average particle size (D50) of the powder was approximately 12 μm, and the particle size was measured by glow discharge mass spectrometry (GD-MS). In the impurity analysis, the magnesium concentration and fluorine concentration were 50 ppm wt or less, and Calcium concentration, aluminum concentration and silicon concentration are 100 ppm wt or less, nickel concentration is 100 ppm wt or less The concentration of arsenic is 11 ppm or less, the concentration of sulfur is 500 ppm or less, and the concentration of arsenic is 11 ppm or less. 00 ppm wt or less, and the concentration of other elements other than lithium, cobalt and oxygen is 150 It is lithium cobalt oxide, which is less than ppm wt.

[0098] The composite oxide containing lithium, a transition metal, and oxygen in step S25 is formed by removing defects and strain. It is preferable that the crystal structure of the layered rock salt type has few impurities. It is preferable that the composite oxide contains lithium, a transition metal, and oxygen. If a large amount of impurities is included, there is a high possibility that the crystal structure will have many defects or strains.

[0099] Next, the mixture 902 is mixed with a composite oxide containing lithium, a transition metal, and oxygen. (Step S31 in FIG. 11) In a composite oxide containing lithium, a transition metal, and oxygen, The number of transition metal atoms TM, the number of magnesium atoms MgMix1 in the mixture 902, and The ratio of TM:MgMix1 is preferably 1:y (0.005≦y≦0.05). It is more preferable that TM:MgMix1=1:y (0.007≦y≦0.04). It is more preferable that TM:MgMix1 is about 1:0.02.

[0100] The mixing in step S31 is carried out after the mixing in step S12 in order not to destroy the particles of the composite oxide. For example, it is preferable to set the rotation speed to be milder than that of the mixing in step S12. It is preferable to use conditions with less heat or shorter time. For mixing, a ball mill, a bead mill, etc. can be used. When using a ball mill, for example, zirconia balls should be used as the media. is preferred.

[0101] The mixed materials are collected (step S32 in FIG. 11) to obtain a mixture 903 (FIG. 1 1, step S33).

[0102] Next, the mixture 903 is heated. This step is called annealing to distinguish it from the previous heating step. Or it may be called second heating.

[0103] The annealing is preferably carried out at a suitable temperature and time. The particle size and the size of the composite oxide having lithium, transition metal and oxygen in step S25 The temperature and composition of the particles vary depending on the conditions. Small particles require lower temperatures or Shorter times may be more preferable.

[0104] For example, if the average particle diameter (D50) of the particles in step S25 is about 12 μm, annealing The temperature is preferably, for example, 600° C. or higher and 950° C. or lower. The annealing time is, for example, 3 hours or longer. It is preferable that the heating time is 10 hours or more, more preferable that the heating time is 60 hours or more.

[0105] On the other hand, when the average particle diameter (D50) of the particles in step S25 is about 5 μm, the annealing temperature The annealing temperature is preferably, for example, 600° C. or higher and 950° C. or lower. The annealing time is, for example, 1 hour or higher and 10 Preferably, it is less than 1 hour, and more preferably about 2 hours.

[0106] The temperature drop time after annealing is preferably, for example, 10 hours or more and 50 hours or less.

[0107] When the mixture 903 is annealed, the material with a low melting point (e.g., lithium fluoride) in the mixture is first melted. It is thought that the oxide (aluminum, melting point 848°C) melts and is distributed in the surface layer of the composite oxide particles. The presence of this molten material will lower the melting point of other materials, causing them to melt. For example, magnesium fluoride (melting point 1263°C) melts and the composite oxide particles It is thought to be distributed in the surface layer.

[0108] The diffusion of elements contained in the mixture 903 is more pronounced in the surface and inner layers of the composite oxide particles than in the inner layers. Therefore, magnesium and halogens are more likely to dissolve in the surface layer and near the grain boundaries. As will be described later, the magnesium concentration in the surface layer and near the grain boundaries is higher than that in the interior. When the temperature is high, the change in the crystal structure can be more effectively suppressed.

[0109] The annealed material is collected (step S35 in FIG. 11) to obtain a mixture 904 ( Step S36 in Figure 11).

[0110] Next, as shown in step S50, the mixture 904 is mixed with finely powdered nickel hydroxide. Then, the mixed material is collected (step S51). Step S15 of mixing nickel hydroxide and acetone and step S16 of recovering the mixture are performed in advance. In step S16, finely powdered nickel hydroxide is obtained (step S17).

[0111] The materials mixed in step S50 are collected in step S51 to obtain a mixture 905 (FIG. 11). Step S52).

[0112] Next, through steps S53 to S55, the metal Z is added to the positive electrode active material. The addition of metal Z can be achieved by, for example, liquid phase methods such as the sol-gel method, solid phase methods, sputtering, etc. methods such as coating, evaporation, CVD (chemical vapor deposition), and PLD (pulsed laser deposition). The method can be applied.

[0113] As shown in FIG. 11, first, in step S52, a metal source is prepared. When the sol-gel method is applied, a solvent to be used in the sol-gel method is prepared. Metal Z may be aluminum, metal hydroxide, metal oxide, etc. In the case of lithium cobalt oxide, for example, the number of cobalt atoms in lithium cobalt oxide is 1, and the metal source is The concentration of aluminum in the metal Z is 0.001 times or more and 0.02 times or less. In the case of nickel, for example, the number of cobalt atoms in lithium cobalt oxide is 1, and the metal The concentration of nickel in the source should be 0.001 times or more and 0.02 times or less. In the case of aluminum and nickel, for example, the cobalt element in lithium cobalt oxide is the aluminum concentration in the metal source is 0.001 times or more and 0.02 times or less, with the number of atoms being 1; In addition, the concentration of nickel in the metal source may be 0.001 times or more and 0.02 times or less.

[0114] As an example, a sol-gel method is used, and aluminum isopropoxide is used as a metal source. An example using isopropanol as a solvent is shown below.

[0115] Next, aluminum alkoxide is dissolved in alcohol, and then lithium cobalt oxide is added. The particles are mixed (step S53 in FIG. 11).

[0116] The amount of metal alkoxide required varies depending on the particle size of the lithium cobalt oxide. When aluminum isopropoxide is used, the particle size (D50) of lithium cobalt oxide is 20 If the number of cobalt atoms in lithium cobalt oxide is 1, then the number of cobalt atoms in aluminum is 1. The aluminum concentration in the isopropoxide is 0.001 to 0.02 times. It is preferable to add

[0117] Next, the mixture of the alcohol solution of metal alkoxide and the lithium cobalt oxide particles was added to water. Stirring is performed in a steam-containing atmosphere. Stirring can be performed, for example, with a magnetic stirrer. The stirring time is determined based on the time it takes for the water in the atmosphere and the metal alkoxide to undergo hydrolysis and polycondensation reactions. For example, 4 hours, 25°C, 90% RH (relative humidity). It can be done under conditions of humidity (relative humidity). and in an atmosphere that is not temperature controlled, such as the atmospheric atmosphere in a draft chamber. In such a case, it is preferable to carry out the stirring for a longer period of time. For example, it may be left at room temperature for 12 hours or more.

[0118] By reacting water vapor in the atmosphere with metal alkoxide, the reaction is more efficient than when liquid water is added. The sol-gel reaction can be carried out slowly even at room temperature. This reaction allows for a higher yield than, for example, heating at a temperature above the boiling point of the alcohol solvent. The sol-gel reaction can be carried out slowly. By carrying out the sol-gel reaction slowly, This allows the formation of a high-quality coating layer with a uniform thickness.

[0119] After the above treatment, the precipitate is collected from the mixed solution (step S54 in FIG. 11). The method of filtration, centrifugation, evaporation to dryness, etc. can be applied. It can be washed with the same alcohol as the solvent used to dissolve the cocaine. If applicable, this step may not require separation of the solvent and precipitate, e.g. For example, the precipitate may be collected in the drying step of the next step (step S54).

[0120] Next, the collected residue is dried to obtain a mixture (step S54 in FIG. 11). For example, the mixture can be dried under vacuum or by ventilation at 80° C. for 1 hour to 4 hours.

[0121] Next, the resulting mixture is heated (step S55 in FIG. 11).

[0122] The heating time is preferably 1 hour or more and 80 hours or less within the heating temperature range. I wish.

[0123] The heating temperature is preferably less than 1000°C, more preferably 700°C or higher and 950°C or lower. , and more preferably about 850°C.

[0124] The heating is preferably carried out in an atmosphere containing oxygen.

[0125] In this embodiment, the heating temperature is set to 850° C. and maintained for 2 hours. °C / h, and the oxygen flow rate is 10 L / min.

[0126] The heating temperature in step S55 is lower than the heating temperature in step S34. preferable.

[0127] <Steps S56 and S57> Next, the cooled particles are collected (step S56 in FIG. 11). In the above process, the mixture 906 that can be used as the positive electrode active material is (Step S57 in FIG. 11).

[0128] The mixtures 902, 903, 904, 905, and 906 obtained by the above manufacturing process are all It can be used as a positive electrode active material.

[0129] The mixture 902 is a positive electrode active material having a lithium component, a magnesium component, and a fluorine component. The mixtures 903 and 904 are a lithium component, a cobalt component, a magnesium component, and a positive electrode active material containing a fluorine component.

It is a positive electrode active material.

[0131] Slurries were prepared by dispersing graphene oxide in a solvent, and mixtures 902, 903, 904, 905 or 906, a plurality of positive electrode active material particles are placed on a positive electrode current collector. The positive electrode active material particles are then coated with a slurry so as to cover the positive electrode active material particles, and the slurry is then dried. By performing the reduction treatment, graphene can be attached to the surface of the positive electrode active material.

For example, the solid electrolyte layer 507 may be made of ceramic powder or glass powder. The powder is made into a slurry and then molded into a sheet. The definition of ceramic is any material, whether metallic or non-metallic, that is made of oxide. Glass is a material made of inorganic compounds such as carbides, nitrides, and borides. It is defined as a material that exhibits glass transition phenomenon, but when it is made into a microcrystalline material, it is called ceramic glass. Because ceramic glass has crystallinity, it can be confirmed by X-ray diffraction. As the solid electrolyte, an oxide solid electrolyte, a sulfide solid electrolyte, etc. can be used. In addition, the positive electrode active material layer 502 and the negative electrode active material layer 505 may also contain a solid electrolyte.
