Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition, a sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery, an all-solid-state secondary battery, and a method for producing the sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery and the all-solid-state secondary battery. [Background technology]
[0002] All-solid-state secondary batteries are made of solid-state materials, including the negative electrode, electrolyte, and positive electrode, which significantly improves the safety and reliability issues associated with batteries that use organic electrolytes. They are also expected to achieve longer battery life. Furthermore, all-solid-state secondary batteries can be constructed with electrodes and electrolytes directly arranged in series. This allows for higher energy density than secondary batteries that use organic electrolytes, and they are expected to be used in electric vehicles, large-scale storage batteries, and other applications.
[0003] In such all-solid-state secondary batteries, inorganic solid electrolytes, active materials, etc. are used as materials for forming constituent layers (such as a solid electrolyte layer, a negative electrode active material layer, and a positive electrode active material layer). These inorganic solid electrolytes, particularly oxide-based inorganic solid electrolytes and sulfide-based inorganic solid electrolytes, have recently been expected as electrolyte materials with high ionic conductivity approaching that of organic electrolyte solutions. In consideration of improving productivity, constituent layers using such inorganic solid electrolytes are typically formed using a material (constituent layer-forming material) containing an inorganic solid electrolyte and a binder. Patent Document 1, for example, describes a solid electrolyte layer slurry containing a solid electrolyte material and a graft polymer as an example of such a constituent layer-forming material. The graft polymer described in Patent Document 1 is a branched polymer consisting of two or more segments, one of which constitutes the main chain and the other of which constitutes the graft portion (side chain), and is a polymer that does not have polar functional groups such as carboxy groups. Furthermore, Patent Document 2 describes a solid electrolyte composition containing a nitrogen-containing polymer having a repeating unit with a specific substituent, such as a substituent X having a pKa of 14 or less or a substituent Y having a polymer chain containing a heteroatom, and an inorganic solid electrolyte having ionic conductivity of a metal belonging to Group 1 or 2 of the periodic table.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-014387 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-191865 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] In layers made up of solid particles such as inorganic solid electrolytes, active materials, and conductive additives, the interfacial contact between the solid particles is restricted, which tends to increase interfacial resistance (reduce conductivity). Moreover, all-solid-state secondary batteries equipped with such layers gradually lose battery performance (resulting in a deterioration of cycle characteristics) when repeatedly charged and discharged. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of improving battery performance (for example, resistance and cycle characteristics), the constituent layer forming materials used in the production of all-solid-state secondary batteries are required to have solid particles highly dispersed in the dispersion medium. Moreover, in recent years, development toward the practical application of all-solid-state secondary batteries has progressed rapidly, and corresponding measures are also required. For example, from the viewpoint of improving productivity and reducing manufacturing costs, practical application of inorganic solid electrolyte-containing compositions (thickened slurries) with increased solid content concentrations of solid particles, etc. is desired. However, when the solid content concentration of solid particles, etc. is increased, even inorganic solid electrolyte-containing compositions that exhibit excellent dispersibility inevitably experience some degree of aggregation or precipitation of solid particles over time. Therefore, for practical application, constituent layer-forming materials are required to have the property (redispersibility) of being able to redisperse solid particles that have aggregated or precipitated over time to the excellent dispersion state they had immediately after preparation (initial state), even when the solid content concentration is increased. However, Patent Documents 1 and 2 do not mention this point of view.
[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide an inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition that exhibits excellent dispersion characteristics (initial dispersibility and redispersibility) even when the solid content concentration of solid particles is increased, and that enables the realization of an all-solid-state secondary battery that has low resistance and excellent cycle characteristics. Another object of the present invention is to provide a sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery, an all-solid-state secondary battery, and a method for manufacturing the sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery and the all-solid-state secondary battery, using this inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] From the above perspective, the present inventors have conducted extensive research into polymer binders used in combination with inorganic solid electrolytes and dispersion media. As a result, they have discovered that by forming a polymer binder from a polymer containing a component (X) having a polymer chain and a component (A) having a specific functional group, and a low content of a component (N) containing a nitrogen atom, and by imparting to this polymer binder the property of dissolving rather than dispersing in a particulate form in the dispersion media, it is possible to reproduce excellent dispersibility (initial dispersibility) after preparation, even if the solid content of the solid particles is increased or the solid particles aggregate. Furthermore, they have discovered that by using an inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition containing this specific polymer binder, an inorganic solid electrolyte, and a dispersion media as a component layer-forming material, it is possible to realize an all-solid-state secondary battery sheet having a low-resistance component layer, and further an all-solid-state secondary battery with low resistance and excellent cycle characteristics. Based on these findings, further research has led to the completion of the present invention.

The above and other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings where appropriate. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0012] [Figure 1] 1 is a longitudinal sectional view schematically showing an all-solid-state secondary battery according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view schematically showing a coin-type all-solid-state secondary battery produced in the example. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0013] In the present invention, a numerical range expressed using "to" means a range that includes the numerical values written before and after "to" as the lower and upper limits. In the present invention, when multiple numerical ranges are set for the content of a component, physical properties, etc., the upper and lower limits forming the numerical range are not limited to a specific combination of upper and lower limits, and any numerical range can be formed by appropriately combining the upper and lower limits of each numerical range. In the present invention, the expression of a compound (for example, when it is referred to by adding "compound" to the end) is used to mean not only the compound itself, but also its salts and ions. It also means to include derivatives that have been partially modified, such as by introducing a substituent, within the scope that does not impair the effects of the present invention. In the present invention, (meth)acrylic means one or both of acrylic and methacrylic. The same applies to (meth)acrylate. In the present invention, substituents, linking groups, etc. (hereinafter referred to as substituents, etc.) that are not specified as substituted or unsubstituted mean that the group may have an appropriate substituent. Therefore, even when simply described as a YYY group in the present invention, this YYY group includes not only an embodiment in which it has no substituent, but also an embodiment in which it further has a substituent. This also applies to compounds in which it is not specified as substituted or unsubstituted. Preferred substituents include, for example, the substituent Z described below. In the present invention, when there are multiple substituents, etc., designated by a specific symbol, or when multiple substituents, etc., are simultaneously or alternatively specified, it means that the respective substituents, etc., may be the same or different from each other. Furthermore, even if not otherwise specified, when multiple substituents, etc., are adjacent, they may be linked to each other or condensed to form a ring. In the present invention, the term "polymer" refers to a polymer, and is synonymous with the term "polymer compound." The term "polymer binder" (also simply referred to as "binder") refers to a binder made of a polymer, and includes both the polymer itself and a binder formed containing a polymer.
[0014] [Inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition] The inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention contains an inorganic solid electrolyte having ionic conductivity of a metal belonging to Group 1 or 2 of the periodic table, a polymer binder containing a polymer having the components described below, and a dispersion medium. This polymer binder has the property of dissolving in the dispersion medium contained in the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition (solubility). The polymer binder in the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition typically exists in a dissolved state in the dispersion medium, depending on its content. This allows the polymer binder to stably perform its function of dispersing solid particles in the dispersion medium, thereby maintaining excellent (initial) dispersion of the solid particles in the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition. Even if the solid particles aggregate or precipitate over time, the excellent initial dispersion can be restored by re-dispersing (mixing) the solid particles. Furthermore, the adhesion between the solid particles and each other or with the current collector can be strengthened, thereby enhancing the effect of improving the cycle characteristics of the all-solid-state secondary battery. In the present invention, the polymer binder being dissolved in the dispersion medium in the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition is not limited to an embodiment in which all of the polymer binder is dissolved in the dispersion medium, and a part of the polymer binder may be insoluble in the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition as long as the solubility in the dispersion medium is, for example, 80% or more. The solubility is measured as follows. Specifically, a specified amount of the polymer binder to be measured is weighed into a glass bottle, and 100 g of the same type of dispersion medium as the dispersion medium contained in the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition is added thereto. The mixture is stirred for 24 hours at 80 rpm on a mix rotor at a temperature of 25°C. The transmittance of the mixture thus obtained after 24 hours of stirring is measured under the following conditions. This test (transmittance measurement) is performed by changing the amount of binder dissolved (the above-specified amount), and the upper limit concentration X (mass%) at which the transmittance becomes 99.8% is defined as the solubility of the polymer binder in the above-specified dispersion medium. <Transmittance measurement conditions> Dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements Equipment: DLS measurement equipment DLS-8000 manufactured by Otsuka Electronics Laser wavelength, output: 488nm / 100mW Sample cell: NMR tube
[0015] The inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention is preferably a slurry in which the inorganic solid electrolyte is dispersed in a dispersion medium. In the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition, the polymer binder dissolves in the dispersion medium and interacts with, preferably adsorbs onto, solid particles such as the inorganic solid electrolyte, thereby enhancing the dispersion characteristics of the solid particles. In the present invention, the adsorption of the polymer binder to the solid particles includes not only physical adsorption but also chemical adsorption (adsorption through chemical bond formation, adsorption through electron transfer, etc.). The dispersion characteristics exhibited by the polymer binder can be maintained even when the solid content of the solid particles is increased. The solid content in this case is determined by the content of the dispersion medium described below. The inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention contains the above-mentioned polymer binder in combination with the inorganic solid electrolyte and dispersion medium, so the solid content can also be increased. The solid content concentration is not uniquely determined by changes in the composition temperature, the type of solid particles, etc., but can be, for example, 40% by mass or more at 25°C, and even 50% by mass or more. Furthermore, the polymer binder functions as a binder that binds together solid particles (e.g., between inorganic solid electrolytes, between inorganic solid electrolytes and active materials, between active materials) such as inorganic solid electrolytes (and further, between active materials and conductive additives that may coexist) in a constituent layer formed from the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition. It also functions as a binder that binds together solid particles and a substrate such as a current collector. In the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition, the polymer binder may or may not have the function of binding together solid particles.
[0016] The inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention exhibits excellent dispersion properties even at an increased solid content concentration, and when used as a constituent layer, the solid particles can be bound to other solid particles and even to a substrate. Therefore, by using this inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition as a constituent layer-forming material, it is possible to realize a sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery having a low-resistance constituent layer, and further, an all-solid-state secondary battery having high conductivity (low resistance) and excellent cycle characteristics.
[0017] While the details of the reason are not yet clear, it is thought to be as follows. Specifically, the polymer binder containing the components (X), (A), and (N) described below is dissolved in the dispersion medium in the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition, with the polymer molecular chains spread out. Furthermore, it is thought that the excluded volume effect between binders due to the component (X) present in the polymer increases, while the repulsive force between binders due to the osmotic pressure effect also increases. This makes it difficult for binders to aggregate and adhere to each other, improving dispersibility. Solid particles adsorbed to the binder can also be highly dispersed, suppressing aggregation and precipitation. Therefore, excellent (initial) dispersibility can be maintained even when the solid content is increased. Furthermore, even if solid particles have aggregated or precipitated, the excellent (initial) dispersibility immediately after preparation can be reproduced due to the above-mentioned action of the polymer binder. Furthermore, it is thought that the above-mentioned repulsive force makes it difficult for the surfaces of the solid particles to be entirely coated, and direct contact (contact without the intervention of the binder) between the solid particles can be maintained without significantly impairing the adhesion between the solid particles. Therefore, the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention can form a constituent layer that reduces the interfacial resistance between the solid particles and suppresses the inhibition of ion or electron conduction while causing the solid particles to adhere or bond to each other. As described above, in the present invention, the interaction (association) between the inorganic solid electrolyte, the dispersion medium, and the polymer binder in the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition and in the constituent layer is improved, thereby achieving excellent dispersion characteristics of the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition and reduced resistance when used as a constituent layer. Therefore, an all-solid-state secondary battery that combines low resistance (high conductivity) and excellent cycle characteristics can be realized. Furthermore, industrial production, such as a highly productive roll-to-roll process, can be applied to the production method of the all-solid-state secondary battery sheet and all-solid-state secondary battery using the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention.
[0018] The polymer binder contained in the constituent layer is susceptible to degradation (oxidation) by oxygen (atoms or molecules), etc., and as degradation progresses, the binding strength of the solid particles and the state of interfacial contact gradually decrease, causing a further deterioration in cycle characteristics. Furthermore, in industrial production, such as the highly productive roll-to-roll method, it is difficult to completely remove oxygen from the production environment, storage environment, etc., and oxidative degradation cannot be avoided. However, binders containing the above-mentioned polymers can favorably exhibit resistance to oxidative degradation due to oxygen, etc., and suppress oxidative degradation of the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition and the constituent layer, thereby realizing a constituent layer that can suppress further deterioration in cycle characteristics due to oxidative degradation, even in industrial production methods.
[0019] The inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention can be preferably used as a forming material (constituent layer forming material) for a solid electrolyte layer or an active material layer of an all-solid-state secondary battery sheet (including an electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery) or an all-solid-state secondary battery. In particular, it can be preferably used as a forming material for an electrode sheet or an active material layer for an all-solid-state secondary battery, and in this embodiment, high cycle characteristics and high conductivity can also be achieved.
[0020] The inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention is preferably a non-aqueous composition. In the present invention, the non-aqueous composition includes not only an embodiment that does not contain water, but also an embodiment in which the water content (also referred to as water content) is preferably 500 ppm or less. In a non-aqueous composition, the water content is more preferably 200 ppm or less, even more preferably 100 ppm or less, and particularly preferably 50 ppm or less. When the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition is a non-aqueous composition, deterioration of the inorganic solid electrolyte can be suppressed. The water content refers to the amount of water contained in the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition (mass ratio relative to the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition), and specifically refers to the value measured by Karl Fischer titration after filtering through a 0.02 μm membrane filter.
[0021] The inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention also includes an embodiment containing an active material and further a conductive additive in addition to the inorganic solid electrolyte (the composition in this embodiment is referred to as an electrode composition). Components contained in the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention and components that can be contained therein will be described below.
[0022] <Inorganic solid electrolyte> The inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention contains an inorganic solid electrolyte. In the present invention, the term "inorganic solid electrolyte" refers to an inorganic solid electrolyte, and a solid electrolyte is a solid electrolyte capable of transferring ions therein. Because inorganic solid electrolytes do not contain organic substances as the main ion-conducting material, they are clearly distinguished from organic solid electrolytes (polymer electrolytes such as polyethylene oxide (PEO) and organic electrolyte salts such as lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI)). Furthermore, inorganic solid electrolytes are solid in a steady state and are not typically dissociated or liberated into cations and anions. In this respect, they are also clearly distinguished from electrolytic solutions or inorganic electrolyte salts (such as LiPF, LiBF, lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI), and LiCl) that are dissociated or liberated into cations and anions in a polymer. The inorganic solid electrolyte is not particularly limited as long as it has ionic conductivity for metals belonging to Group 1 or Group 2 of the periodic table, but generally does not have electronic conductivity. When the all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention is a lithium-ion battery, the inorganic solid electrolyte preferably has ionic conductivity for lithium ions. The inorganic solid electrolyte may be selected from solid electrolyte materials typically used in all-solid-state secondary batteries. Examples of inorganic solid electrolytes include (i) sulfide-based inorganic solid electrolytes, (ii) oxide-based inorganic solid electrolytes, (iii) halide-based inorganic solid electrolytes, and (iv) hydride-based inorganic solid electrolytes. Sulfide-based inorganic solid electrolytes are preferred because they can form a better interface between the active material and the inorganic solid electrolyte.
[0023] (i) Sulfide-based inorganic solid electrolyte The sulfide-based inorganic solid electrolyte preferably contains sulfur atoms, has the ionic conductivity of a metal belonging to Group 1 or 2 of the periodic table, and has electronic insulation. The sulfide-based inorganic solid electrolyte preferably contains at least Li, S, and P as elements and has lithium ion conductivity, but may contain elements other than Li, S, and P as appropriate.
[0024] An example of the sulfide-based inorganic solid electrolyte is a lithium ion conductive inorganic solid electrolyte that satisfies the composition represented by the following formula (S1). L a1 M b1 P c1 S d1 A e1 (S1) In the formula, L represents an element selected from Li, Na, and K, and Li is preferred. M represents an element selected from B, Zn, Sn, Si, Cu, Ga, Sb, Al, and Ge. A represents an element selected from I, Br, Cl, and F. a1 to e1 represent the composition ratio of each element, and a1:b1:c1:d1:e1 satisfies the ratio 1-12:0-5:1:2-12:0-10. a1 is preferably 1-9, and more preferably 1.5-7.5. b1 is preferably 0-3, and more preferably 0-1. d1 is preferably 2.5-10, and more preferably 3.0-8.5. e1 is preferably 0-5, and more preferably 0-3.
[0025] The composition ratio of each element can be controlled by adjusting the blending amounts of raw material compounds when producing the sulfide-based inorganic solid electrolyte, as described below.
[0026] The sulfide-based inorganic solid electrolyte may be amorphous (glass) or crystallized (glass-ceramic), or may be only partially crystallized. For example, a Li-PS-based glass containing Li, P, and S, or a Li-PS-based glass-ceramic containing Li, P, and S may be used. The sulfide-based inorganic solid electrolyte can be produced by reacting at least two or more raw materials selected from the group consisting of lithium sulfide (LiS), phosphorus sulfide (e.g., diphosphorus pentasulfide (PS)), elemental phosphorus, elemental sulfur, sodium sulfide, hydrogen sulfide, lithium halides (e.g., LiI, LiBr, LiCl), and sulfides of the elements represented by M above (e.g., SiS, SnS, GeS).
[0027] In the Li-PS glass and Li-PS glass ceramics, the ratio of Li2S to P2S5 is preferably 60:40 to 90:10, more preferably 68:32 to 78:22, in terms of the molar ratio of Li2S:P2S5. By setting the ratio of Li2S to P2S5 within this range, the lithium ion conductivity can be increased. Specifically, the lithium ion conductivity is preferably 1×10 -4 S / cm or more, preferably 1×10 -3 S / cm or more. There is no upper limit, but it is 1×10 -1 It is practical to have a value of S / cm or less.
[0028] Specific examples of sulfide-based inorganic solid electrolytes, including combinations of raw materials, are shown below: Li2S-P2S5, Li2S-P2S5-LiCl, Li2S-P2S5-H2S, Li2S-P2S5-H2S-LiCl, Li2S-LiI-P2S5, Li2S-LiI-Li2O-P2S5, Li2S-LiBr-P2S5, Li2S-Li2O-P2S5, Li2S-Li3PO4-P2S5, Li2S-P2S5-P2O5, Li2S-P2S5-SiS2, Li2S-P2S5-SiS2-LiCl, Li2S-P2S5-SnS, and Li2S-P2S5-Al2S3 , Li2S-GeS2, Li2S-GeS2-ZnS, Li2S-Ga2S3, Li2S-GeS2-Ga2S3, Li2S-GeS2-P2S5, Li2S-GeS2-Sb2S5, Li2S-GeS2-Al2S3, Li2S-SiS2, L i2S-Al2S3, Li2S-SiS2-Al2S3, Li2S-SiS2-P2S5, Li2S-SiS2-P2S5-LiI, Li2S-SiS2-LiI, Li2S-SiS2-Li4SiO4, Li2S-SiS2-Li3PO4, Li 10 GeP2S 12 However, the mixing ratio of each raw material is not important. As a method for synthesizing a sulfide-based inorganic solid electrolyte material using such a raw material composition, for example, an amorphization method can be mentioned. Examples of the amorphization method include a mechanical milling method, a solution method, and a melt quenching method. This is because processing at room temperature becomes possible, and the manufacturing process can be simplified.
[0029] (ii) Oxide-based inorganic solid electrolyte The oxide-based inorganic solid electrolyte preferably contains oxygen atoms, has the ionic conductivity of a metal belonging to Group 1 or 2 of the periodic table, and has electronic insulation properties. Oxide-based inorganic solid electrolytes have an ionic conductivity of 1×10 -6 S / cm or more is preferable, and 5×10 -6 S / cm or more is more preferable, and 1×10 -5 It is particularly preferable that the viscosity is 1×10 S / cm or more. -1It is practical that it is below S / cm.

Of these, Li3YBr6 and Li3YCl6 are preferred.
[0032] (iv) Hydride-based inorganic solid electrolytes The hydride-based inorganic solid electrolyte is preferably a compound that contains hydrogen atoms, has the ionic conductivity of a metal belonging to Group 1 or 2 of the periodic table, and has electronic insulation properties. The hydride-based inorganic solid electrolyte is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include LiBH4, Li4(BH4)3I, 3LiBH4-LiCl, and the like.
[0033] The inorganic solid electrolyte is preferably in the form of particles. In this case, the particle size (volume average particle size) of the inorganic solid electrolyte is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.01 μm or more, more preferably 0.1 μm or more. The upper limit is preferably 100 μm or less, more preferably 50 μm or less. The particle size of inorganic solid electrolytes is measured using the following procedure. A 1% by mass dispersion of inorganic solid electrolyte particles is prepared by diluting them in water (or heptane if the substance is unstable in water) in a 20 mL sample bottle. The diluted dispersion sample is irradiated with 1 kHz ultrasound for 10 minutes and then immediately used for testing. Using this dispersion sample, a laser diffraction / scattering particle size analyzer LA-920 (product name, manufactured by HORIBA) is used to acquire data 50 times at 25°C using a quartz measurement cell to obtain the volume-average particle size. For other detailed conditions, refer to the description in Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) Z 8828:2013, "Particle Size Analysis - Dynamic Light Scattering Method," as necessary. Five samples are prepared for each level, and the average value is used.
[0034] The inorganic solid electrolyte may be contained in one kind or in two or more kinds. The content of the inorganic solid electrolyte in the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoints of binding property and further dispersibility, it is preferably 50% by mass or more, more preferably 70% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 90% by mass or more, based on 100% by mass of the solid content. From the same viewpoint, the upper limit is preferably 99.9% by mass or less, more preferably 99.5% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 99% by mass or less. However, when the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition contains an active material described below, the content of the inorganic solid electrolyte in the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition is preferably such that the total content of the active material and the inorganic solid electrolyte falls within the above range. In the present invention, the solid content (solid components) refers to components that do not volatilize or vaporize when the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition is dried at 150°C under a nitrogen atmosphere at an atmospheric pressure of 1 mmHg for 6 hours. Typically, this refers to components other than the dispersion medium described below.
[0035] <Polymer binder> The polymer binder contained in the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention is formed by containing a polymer having each of the constituent components described below, and contains one or more polymer binders that are soluble in the dispersion medium contained in the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition. By using this polymer binder in combination with the inorganic solid electrolyte and the dispersion medium, the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition can exhibit excellent dispersion properties even when the solid content is increased, and when used as a constituent layer, it is possible to reduce an increase in interface resistance while maintaining the binding force of the solid particles.
[0036] In the present invention, the polymer contained in the polymer binder and forming the polymer binder (also referred to as a binder-forming polymer) dissolves the polymer binder in a dispersion medium and contains the components (X), (A), and (N) described below. The dissolution of the polymer binder in a dispersion medium is as described above.
[0037] - Component (X) - The binder-forming polymer contains the component (X), which has a polymer chain. The binder-forming polymer contains the component (X), which can enhance the excluded volume effect between polymer binders, thereby improving dispersion characteristics. This component (X) may have a polymer chain, and examples thereof include components derived from polycondensation compounds having a polycondensation group and a polymer chain. The polycondensation group is appropriately determined depending on the main chain structure of the binder-forming polymer. For example, in the case of a step-polymerization polymer described below, a condensation functional group is selected, and in the case of a chain-polymerization polymer, a polymerizable group (ethylenically unsaturated group) is selected.
[0038] This constituent (X) may contain a nitrogen atom; for example, a constituent that forms a polymer chain may contain a nitrogen atom, more specifically, it may be a constituent derived from acrylamide. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when constituent (X) has a nitrogen atom that forms an amino group in a partial structure incorporated into the main chain of the polymer or in a partial structure that becomes a side chain other than the polymer chain (which also corresponds to constituent (N)), it belongs to constituent (N) rather than constituent (X). On the other hand, in the present invention, constituent (X) may not contain a nitrogen atom. Although component (X) may have a functional group selected from functional group group (a) described below, it is preferable that it does not have one. In other words, component (X) preferably does not correspond to component (A). However, even if the polymer chain of component (X) contains the following functional group as a linking group described below, this functional group functions as a linking group and is not a functional group selected from functional group (a) described below. Furthermore, when component (X) is derived from a compound having a polycondensable group and a polymer chain described below, even if the linking group connecting the polycondensable group and the polymer chain has a functional group, this functional group does not sufficiently exhibit the function of adsorbing or adhering to solid particles, and therefore component (X) is considered to be included in the embodiment having no functional group (a component not corresponding to component (A)).
[0039] The polymer chain is a molecular chain constituting a side chain of the binder-forming polymer, and is a molecular chain in which two or more repeating units of one or more types are bonded. For example, a chain made of a normal polymer, specifically a step-polymerized polymer or a chain-polymerized polymer described later, can be applied without any particular limitation. This polymer chain does not have a nitrogen atom that forms an amino group in its main chain, for example, it is a molecular chain in which the main chain is formed of a polymer other than polyalkyleneimine and other than polyalkylamine. In the present invention, a polymer represented by the following formula (L P ), a polymer chain having a repeating unit represented by the formula (for example, a polymer chain made of polyether, a polymer chain made of polysiloxane), is preferred, and a polymer chain made of a (meth)acrylic polymer is more preferred.

The substituent that can be taken as X is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a group in which one hydrogen atom has been further removed from a group appropriately selected from the substituent Z described below. In terms of dispersion properties, it is preferable to use a group selected from the group R described below.

The linking group that can be taken as L is not particularly limited as long as it is a group that can bond to another repeating unit, and is appropriately selected depending on the type of polymer chain. This linking group is usually a linking group having a hetero atom, for example, an ester bond (-CO-O-), an ether bond (-O-), a carbonate bond (-O-CO-), an amide bond (-CO-N(R N)-), urethane bond (-N(R N )-CO-), urea bond (-N(R N )-CO-N(R N )-), imide bond (-CO-N(R N )-CO-). In each of the above bonds, R N represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or an aryl group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms. Any bonding portion of the linking group may be bonded to the X. As the linking group, a group not containing a nitrogen atom is preferred, and an ester bond, an ether bond, a carbonate bond, etc. are more preferred. n represents the (average) degree of polymerization, and is not limited to a specific value, as long as it is 2 or more, and is appropriately determined in consideration of the number-average molecular weight of the polymer chains described below. For example, the degree of polymerization n is preferably 3 to 500, more preferably 4 to 300, and even more preferably 4 to 100. The upper limit of each numerical range may be set to 50, 40, or 15. In the polymer chain, two or more repeating units may be the same or different.

[0045] Preferred examples of the chain made of a chain-polymerized polymer include a polymer chain made of a (meth)acrylic polymer and a polymer chain made of polystyrene. The polymer chain made of a (meth)acrylic polymer preferably contains a component derived from a (meth)acrylic compound (M1) described below and a component derived from a vinyl compound (M2) described below.

The content of the component derived from a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester compound is preferably 50 to 100% by mass, and can also be 60 to 80% by mass. Furthermore, when the composition contains a component derived from a (meth)acrylic acid long-chain alkyl ester compound and a component derived from a (meth)acrylic acid short-chain alkyl ester compound, the content of the component derived from the (meth)acrylic acid long-chain alkyl ester compound is preferably 20 to 100 mass%, more preferably 50 to 100 mass%, and the content of the component derived from the (meth)acrylic acid short-chain alkyl ester compound is preferably 5 to 80 mass%, more preferably 5 to 40 mass%.

Examples thereof include the (meth)acrylic compound (M1) or vinyl compound (M2) described below, or compounds in which the above-mentioned functional group has been introduced into these compounds (M1) or (M2).
[0072] - Component (N) - The constituent component (N) that forms the binder-forming polymer is a constituent component that contains a nitrogen atom. If the binder-forming polymer contains an excess of the constituent component (N), the polymer binder is prone to oxidative degradation, which reduces the cycle characteristics of the all-solid-state secondary battery. Therefore, in the present invention, in order to suppress the deterioration of the cycle characteristics, the constituent component (N) is contained in an amount of less than 10 mol % of all constituent components (that form the main chain) of the binder-forming polymer. This constituent component (N) may contain a nitrogen atom anywhere in the component, and has the nitrogen atom in a partial structure incorporated into the main chain of the binder-forming polymer or in a side chain.
[0073] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the constituent (N) is a constituent containing a nitrogen atom, and may be a constituent having a polymer chain or a constituent not having a polymer chain (a low-molecular-weight constituent). The nitrogen atom is preferably present in a partial structure other than the polymer chain in the side chain of the binder-forming polymer. In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the constituent (N) is a constituent containing a nitrogen atom that forms an amino group in a partial structure incorporated into the main chain of the polymer or in a partial structure that becomes a side chain other than the polymer chain. In this embodiment, the amino group possessed by the constituent (N) is a monovalent amino group (—NR NN 2), a divalent amino group (also called an imino group) NN ), trivalent amino group (-N<), and further tetravalent amino group (ammonium salt). NN represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent (preferably the substituent Z described below), provided that the amino group present in the partial structure incorporated into the main chain of the polymer is a characteristic group that becomes an amino group by itself and does not form a functional group (bond) such as an amide bond, imide bond, urethane bond, or urea bond together with a characteristic group or functional group such as a carbonyl group or an ester bond in the main chain. In both of the above embodiments, the polymer chain may be a molecular chain in which two or more repeating units of one or more types are bonded together, and specific examples thereof include the polymer chains described above for the component (X). The component (A) may have a functional group selected from the functional group (a) above, but preferably does not have one. As described above, the components (X), (A), and (N) differ from one another in that they each essentially contain a polymer chain, a specific functional group, or the above-mentioned nitrogen atom. However, when a certain component corresponds to all of the components (X), (A), and (N), it is also a preferred embodiment to preferentially assign that certain component to the component (N).
[0074] Examples of such component (N) include components derived from polycondensation compounds having a polycondensable group, a non-polymeric substituent, and, optionally, a linking group connecting the polycondensable group and the substituent. The polycondensable group, non-polymeric substituent, and linking group are synonymous with the polycondensable group, substituent, and linking group in component (A), respectively. Examples of component (N) include components constituting polymers such as polyalkyleneimines, polyalkylamines, poly(meth)acrylalkylamines, poly(meth)acrylamides, poly(meth)acrylonitriles, polyamides, polyimides, polyureas, and polyurethanes, as well as components having amino groups as substituents. In one embodiment of the present invention, among the components constituting the above polymers, components constituting polyalkyleneimines, polyalkylamines, poly(meth)acrylalkylamines, poly(meth)acrylamides, and poly(meth)acrylonitriles are preferred. The binder-forming polymer may contain one or more of the above-mentioned constituent components. The binder-forming polymer may contain, in addition to the above-mentioned components, other components, for example, components derived from a (meth)acrylic compound (M1) or a vinyl compound (M2) described below. In the present invention, it is preferred that each of the constituent components, particularly the other constituent components, does not have a crosslinkable group, for example, an ethylenically unsaturated group such as a carbon-carbon double bond.
[0075] - Binder-forming polymer - The binder-forming polymer is not particularly limited as long as it is a polymer that has the above-mentioned components and dissolves in the dispersion medium, and various known polymers can be used. The primary structure of the binder-forming polymer (the bonding mode of the constituent components) is not particularly limited, and may be any bonding mode such as a random structure, a block structure, an alternating structure, or a graft structure. The molecular structure of the binder-forming polymer is also not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a branched structure and a multi-branched structure (graft structure, star structure, dendritic structure, etc.). Of these, a branched structure or a star structure is more preferred. In the present invention, a (multiple) branched structure refers to a polymer in which the polymer chain has a branched structure, such as a structure in which one or more separate polymer chains (side chains) are bonded to the main chain. A branched polymer refers to a structure in which one polymer chain is bonded to the main chain in a branched manner (as a side chain), such as a polymer structure containing a component (X) having a polymer chain. Among multi-branched structures, a star-structured polymer (also referred to as a star polymer) has a structure in which multiple (usually three or more) arm portions (polymer chains) are radially bonded to a central core portion (branching point), and one polymer molecule usually has one core portion. In contrast, a graft-structured polymer refers to a polymer in which multiple polymer chains (as side chains) are bonded to a single main chain in a branched manner, and a dendritic-structured polymer refers to a polymer having multiple core portions. In the star polymer, the core portion is an atom or linking group having a valence of three or more, and the valence is preferably three to eight, and more preferably three to six. The core portion can be appropriately selected from known core portions, and examples thereof include the core portions described below. In the star polymer, the number of arm portions bonded to one core portion is usually three or more, and is preferably the same as the valence of the core portion.
[0076] The binder-forming polymer will be described below, but the contents thereof can be applied to the polymer chains constituting the arm portions and each polymer chain (main chain and side chain) in binder-forming polymers having a linear structure and also in binder-forming polymers having a (multiple) branched structure. Preferred examples of binder-forming polymers (i.e., including the above-mentioned arm portions and each polymer chain in addition to a polymer having a linear structure) include polymers having at least one bond selected from a urethane bond, a urea bond, an amide bond, an imide bond, an ester bond, and a silyloxy bond, or a polymer chain of a carbon-carbon double bond in the main chain. In the present invention, the main chain of the binder-forming polymer is preferably a molecular chain formed by a polymer other than a polyalkyleneimine and a polymer other than a polyalkylamine.
[0077] In the present invention, the main chain of a polymer (including the above-mentioned arm portions and each polymer chain) refers to a linear molecular chain in which all other molecular chains constituting the polymer can be considered as branched chains or pendant groups relative to the main chain. Typically, the longest chain among the molecular chains constituting the polymer becomes the main chain, although this depends on the mass average molecular weight of the branched chains considered as branched chains or pendant groups. However, the terminal groups at the polymer ends are not included in the main chain. In contrast, the side chain of a polymer refers to a branched chain other than the main chain, and includes short and long chains. The terminal group of a polymer is not particularly limited and can be an appropriate group depending on the polymerization method, etc. Examples include a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, a hydroxyl group, and even residues of a polymerization initiator.
[0078] The bond is not particularly limited as long as it is contained in the main chain of the polymer, and may be contained in a constituent component (repeating unit) and / or as a bond connecting different constituent components. Furthermore, the number of bonds contained in the main chain is not limited to one, but may be two or more, preferably one to six, and more preferably one to four. In this case, the bonding pattern of the main chain is not particularly limited, and may include two or more types of bonds randomly, or may be a segmented main chain consisting of segments having specific bonds and segments having other bonds. Examples of polymers having a urethane bond, urea bond, amide bond, imide bond, or ester bond in the main chain include sequential polymerization (polycondensation, polyaddition, or addition-condensation) polymers such as polyurethane, polyurea, polyamide, polyimide, polyester, and polysiloxane, or copolymers thereof. The copolymer may be a block copolymer having each of the above polymers as a segment, or a random copolymer in which the constituent components of two or more of the above polymers are randomly bonded.
[0079] Examples of polymers having a polymer chain of carbon-carbon double bonds in the main chain include chain-polymerized polymers such as fluorine-based polymers (fluorine-containing polymers), hydrocarbon-based polymers, vinyl polymers, (meth)acrylic polymers, etc. The polymerization mode of these chain-polymerized polymers is not particularly limited, and may be any of block copolymers, alternating copolymers, and random copolymers, with random copolymers being preferred. The binder-forming polymer can be appropriately selected from the above-mentioned polymers, but vinyl polymers or (meth)acrylic polymers are preferred.
[0080] Examples of (meth)acrylic polymers suitable as binder-forming polymers include copolymers of the above-mentioned components, and also copolymers with an appropriate (meth)acrylic compound (M1), which contain 50% by mass or more of components derived from (meth)acrylic compounds. When components (X), (A), and (N) are derived from (meth)acrylic compounds, the content of each component is included in the total content of the components derived from (meth)acrylic compounds. The content of the components derived from (meth)acrylic compounds is more preferably 60% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 70% by mass or more. The upper limit of the content can be 100% by mass, but can also be 97% by mass or less. Copolymers with a vinyl compound (M2) other than the (meth)acrylic compound (M1) are also preferred as (meth)acrylic polymers. In this case, the content of the components derived from the vinyl compound (M2) is 50% by mass or less, preferably 3 to 40% by mass, and more preferably 3 to 30% by mass. The (meth)acrylic polymer may contain a component derived from a (meth)acrylamide compound as one of its constituent components (excluding the components forming the polymer chain), but the content of the component derived from a (meth)acrylamide compound relative to the total components constituting the polymer is preferably less than 50 mol %, more preferably 40 mol % or less. Vinyl polymers suitable as binder-forming polymers include copolymers of the above-mentioned components, and also copolymers with an appropriate vinyl compound (M2), including copolymers containing 50% by mass or more of vinyl compound-derived components. When components (X), (A), and (N) are vinyl compound-derived components, the content of each component is included in the content of vinyl compound-derived components. The content of vinyl compound-derived components is preferably 60% by mass or more, and more preferably 65% by mass or more. The upper limit of the content can be 100% by mass, but is preferably 95% by mass or less, and more preferably 90% by mass or less. Vinyl polymers are also preferably copolymers with a (meth)acrylic compound (M1). In this case, the content of the (meth)acrylic compound (M1)-derived component may be less than 50% by mass, and is preferably 0 to 40% by mass, and more preferably 0 to 30% by mass.
[0081] Examples of the (meth)acrylic compound (M1) include (meth)acrylic acid ester compounds, (meth)acrylamide compounds, and (meth)acrylonitrile compounds, except for compounds from which the above-mentioned components (X), (A), and (N) are derived. Among these, (meth)acrylic acid ester compounds are preferred. Examples of (meth)acrylic acid ester compounds include (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester compounds and (meth)acrylic acid aryl ester compounds, with (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester compounds being preferred. The number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group constituting the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester compound is not particularly limited, but can be, for example, 1 to 24. From the viewpoints of dispersion properties and adhesion, it is preferably 3 to 20, more preferably 4 to 16, and even more preferably 6 to 14.

In the (meth)acrylamide compound, the nitrogen atom of the amide group may be substituted with an alkyl group or an aryl group.
[0082] The vinyl compound (M2) is not particularly limited, but among vinyl compounds copolymerizable with the (meth)acrylic compound (M1), vinyl compounds other than the vinyl compounds that derive the above-mentioned components (X), (A), and (N) are preferred, such as aromatic vinyl compounds such as styrene compounds, vinyl naphthalene compounds, vinyl carbazole compounds, vinyl imidazole compounds, and vinyl pyridine compounds, as well as allyl compounds, vinyl ether compounds, vinyl ester compounds (e.g., vinyl acetate compounds), and dialkyl itaconate compounds. Examples of vinyl compounds include the "vinyl monomers" described in JP 2015-88486 A.

In order to further improve dispersion characteristics and cycle characteristics, it is preferably 50°C or lower, more preferably -30°C or lower, and even more preferably -40°C or lower. The lower limit is not particularly limited and can be, for example, -160°C. The glass transition temperature Tg of the binder-forming polymer can be adjusted as appropriate depending on the polymer composition (type or content of constituent components), molecular structure, etc. The glass transition temperature Tg of the binder-forming polymer is the glass transition temperature measured by the following method. That is, the glass transition point is measured using a dry sample of the binder-forming polymer with a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC7000, manufactured by SII Technology Co., Ltd.) under the following conditions. The measurement is carried out twice on the same sample, and the result of the second measurement is used. Measurement chamber atmosphere: Nitrogen (50 mL / min) Heating rate: 5℃ / min ·Measurement start temperature: -100℃ Measurement end temperature: 200℃ Sample pan: Aluminum pan Measurement sample mass: 5 mg Calculation of Tg: Calculate Tg by rounding off the midpoint between the start and end points of the decline on the DSC chart. The glass transition temperature Tg can be adjusted by the type or composition (type and content of constituent components) of the binder-forming polymer.

On the other hand, when the binder-forming polymer is a step-polymerized polymer, the constituent components are different units from the constituent components derived from the raw material compounds. For example, in the case of polyurethane, the constituent components are determined as follows for convenience: A constituent component derived from a polyisocyanate compound is a unit in which an -O- group is bonded to two -NH-CO- groups in a constituent unit derived from a polyisocyanate compound. On the other hand, a constituent component derived from a polyol compound is a unit in which two -O- groups are removed from a constituent unit derived from a polyol compound.

SP p 2 =(SP1 2 ×W1)+(SP2 2 ×W2)+··· In the above formula, SP1, SP2... represent the SP values of the constituent components, and W1, W2... represent the mass fractions of the constituent components.

When the arm portion is a copolymer made of multiple types of monomers, the SP value of this arm portion is calculated using the above formula.

Suitable examples of negative electrode active materials that can be used in combination with amorphous oxides mainly containing Sn, Si, or Ge include carbonaceous materials that can occlude and / or release lithium ions or lithium metal, lithium alone, lithium alloys, and negative electrode active materials that can be alloyed with lithium.
[0146] From the viewpoint of high current density charge / discharge characteristics, it is preferable that the oxides of metal or semi-metal elements, particularly the metal (composite) oxides and the chalcogenides contain at least one of titanium and lithium as a constituent component. Examples of lithium-containing metal composite oxides (lithium composite metal oxides) include composite oxides of lithium oxide and the metal (composite) oxides or the chalcogenides, more specifically Li2SnO2. The negative electrode active material, for example, a metal oxide, preferably contains titanium (titanium oxide). Specifically, Li4Ti5O 12 Lithium titanate (LTO) is preferred because it has small volume fluctuations when absorbing and releasing lithium ions, has excellent rapid charge and discharge characteristics, suppresses electrode deterioration, and can improve the life of lithium ion secondary batteries.
[0147] The lithium alloy as the negative electrode active material is not particularly limited as long as it is an alloy commonly used as the negative electrode active material of a secondary battery. For example, a lithium aluminum alloy, specifically, a lithium aluminum alloy such as a lithium-based metal with 10% by mass of aluminum added, can be mentioned.
[0148] The negative electrode active material capable of forming an alloy with lithium is not particularly limited as long as it is commonly used as the negative electrode active material of a secondary battery. Such an active material has a large expansion and contraction due to charge and discharge of an all-solid-state secondary battery, accelerating the deterioration of cycle characteristics. However, since the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention contains the above-mentioned polymer binder, the deterioration of cycle characteristics can be suppressed. Examples of such an active material include (negative electrode) active materials (alloys, etc.) having a silicon element or a tin element, and various metals such as Al and In. A negative electrode active material having a silicon element (silicon element-containing active material) that enables a higher battery capacity is preferable, and a silicon element-containing active material having a silicon element content of 50 mol% or more of all constituent elements is more preferable. Generally, negative electrodes containing these negative electrode active materials (for example, Si negative electrodes containing a silicon element-containing active material, Sn negative electrodes containing an active material having a tin element, etc.) can occlude more Li ions than carbon negative electrodes (graphite and acetylene black, etc.). That is, the amount of Li ions occluded per unit mass increases. Therefore, there is an advantage that the battery capacity (energy density) can be increased. As a result, the battery driving time can be lengthened. Examples of the silicon element-containing active material include silicon materials such as Si and SiOx (0 < x ≤ 1), and further silicon-containing alloys containing titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, nickel, copper, lanthanum, etc. (for example, LaSi2, VSi2, La-Si, Gd-Si, Ni-Si), or organized active materials (for example, LaSi2 / Si). In addition, active materials containing a silicon element and a tin element such as SnSiO3 and SnSiS3 can also be mentioned. Note that SiOx can be used as a negative electrode active material (semimetal oxide) itself, and can also be used as a negative electrode active material (its precursor material) capable of alloying with lithium because Si is generated by the operation of an all-solid-state secondary battery. Examples of negative electrode active materials containing tin include Sn, SnO, SnO2, SnS, SnS2, and the above-mentioned active materials containing silicon and tin. Also included are composite oxides with lithium oxide, such as Li2SnO2.
[0149] In the present invention, the above-mentioned negative electrode active material can be used without any particular limitation. However, in terms of battery capacity, a negative electrode active material that can be alloyed with lithium is a preferred embodiment. Among these, the above-mentioned silicon material or silicon-containing alloy (alloy containing silicon element) is more preferred, and it is even more preferred that the negative electrode active material contains silicon (Si) or a silicon-containing alloy.
[0150] The chemical formula of the compound obtained by the above calcination method can be measured by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) emission spectroscopy, or simply calculated from the difference in mass of the powder before and after calcination.
[0151] The shape of the negative electrode active material is not particularly limited, but is preferably particulate. The particle size of the negative electrode active material is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.1 to 60 μm. The particle size of the negative electrode active material particles can be measured in the same manner as the particle size of the inorganic solid electrolyte. To achieve the desired particle size, a conventional grinder or classifier is used, as with the positive electrode active material.
[0152] The negative electrode active materials may be used singly or in combination of two or more. The content of the negative electrode active material in the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition is not particularly limited, and is preferably 10 to 90 mass %, more preferably 20 to 85 mass %, even more preferably 30 to 80 mass %, and still more preferably 40 to 75 mass %, based on 100 mass % of the solid content.
[0153] In the present invention, when the negative electrode active material layer is formed by charging the secondary battery, ions of a metal belonging to Group 1 or 2 of the periodic table that are generated in the all-solid-state secondary battery can be used instead of the above-mentioned negative electrode active material. The negative electrode active material layer can be formed by bonding these ions with electrons and depositing them as a metal.
[0154] (Coating of active material) The surfaces of the positive electrode active material and the negative electrode active material may be coated with another metal oxide. Examples of the surface coating agent include metal oxides containing Ti, Nb, Ta, W, Zr, Al, Si, or Li. Specific examples include titanate spinel, tantalum-based oxides, niobium-based oxides, and lithium niobate-based compounds, such as Li4Ti5O 12 , Li2Ti2O5, LiTaO3, LiNbO3, LiAlO2, Li2ZrO3, Li2WO4, Li2TiO3, Li2B4O7, Li3PO4, Li2MoO4, Li3BO3, LiBO2, Li2CO3, Li2SiO3, SiO2, TiO2, ZrO2, Al2O3, B2O3, etc. The surface of the electrode containing the positive electrode active material or the negative electrode active material may be surface-treated with sulfur or phosphorus. Furthermore, the particle surfaces of the positive electrode active material or negative electrode active material may be subjected to a surface treatment with active rays or active gas (plasma, etc.) before or after the above surface coating.
[0155] <Conductive additive> The inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention preferably contains a conductive aid, and for example, a silicon atom-containing active material as a negative electrode active material is preferably used in combination with a conductive aid. The conductive additive is not particularly limited, and may be any of those known as general conductive additives. For example, it may be an electron conductive material, such as graphites (e.g., natural graphite, artificial graphite), carbon blacks (e.g., acetylene black, ketjen black, furnace black), amorphous carbon (e.g., needle coke), carbon fibers (e.g., vapor-grown carbon fiber, carbon nanotube), carbonaceous materials (e.g., graphene, fullerene), metal powders (e.g., copper, nickel), metal fibers, or conductive polymers (e.g., polyaniline, polypyrrole, polythiophene, polyacetylene, polyphenylene derivatives). In the present invention, when an active material and a conductive additive are used in combination, the conductive additive is one among the above-mentioned conductive additives that does not insert or release ions of metals belonging to Group 1 or Group 2 of the periodic table (preferably Li ions) when the battery is charged and discharged, and does not function as an active material. Therefore, among conductive additives, one that can function as an active material in the active material layer when the battery is charged and discharged is classified as an active material rather than a conductive additive. Whether or not a conductive additive functions as an active material when the battery is charged and discharged is not uniquely determined, but is determined by the combination with the active material.
[0156] The conductive additive may contain one kind or two or more kinds. The shape of the conductive additive is not particularly limited, but a particulate shape is preferred. When the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention contains a conductive aid, the content of the conductive aid in the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition is preferably 0 to 10 mass % relative to 100 mass % of the solid content.
[0157] <Lithium salt> The inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention also preferably contains a lithium salt (supporting electrolyte). The lithium salt is preferably a lithium salt that is usually used in this type of product, and is not particularly limited. For example, the lithium salts described in paragraphs 0082 to 0085 of JP-A No. 2015-088486 are preferred. When the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention contains a lithium salt, the content of the lithium salt is preferably 0.1 parts by mass or more, more preferably 5 parts by mass or more, relative to 100 parts by mass of the solid electrolyte, and the upper limit is preferably 50 parts by mass or less, more preferably 20 parts by mass or less.
[0158] <Dispersant> The inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention may contain no dispersant other than the polymer binder because the polymer binder also functions as a dispersant. However, the dispersant may contain a dispersant. As the dispersant, a dispersant typically used in all-solid-state secondary batteries may be appropriately selected and used. In general, a compound intended for particle adsorption and steric and / or electrostatic repulsion is preferably used.
[0159] <Other additives> The inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention may contain, as appropriate, other components in addition to the above components, such as an ionic liquid, a thickener, a crosslinking agent (such as one that undergoes a crosslinking reaction by radical polymerization, condensation polymerization, or ring-opening polymerization), a polymerization initiator (such as one that generates an acid or radical by heat or light), an antifoaming agent, a leveling agent, a dehydrating agent, and an antioxidant. The ionic liquid is contained to further improve ionic conductivity, and any known ionic liquid can be used without particular limitation. Furthermore, the composition may contain a polymer other than the binder-forming polymer described above, a commonly used binder, and the like.
[0160] (Preparation of inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition) The inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention can be prepared as a mixture, preferably as a slurry, by mixing an inorganic solid electrolyte, the above-mentioned polymer binder, a dispersion medium, preferably a conductive additive, and further optionally a lithium salt and other optional components, for example, in any of various commonly used mixers. In the case of an electrode composition, an active material is further mixed therein. The mixing method is not particularly limited, and can be carried out using a known mixer such as a ball mill, bead mill, planetary mixer, blade mixer, roll mill, kneader, disk mill, planetary mixer, or narrow-gap disperser. The components may be mixed all at once or sequentially. The mixing environment is not particularly limited, and examples include dry air or an inert gas. The mixing conditions are also not particularly limited and can be appropriately set; for example, the mixing temperature can be 15 to 40°C. The rotation speed of the planetary mixer can be 200 to 3,000 rpm. The inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention has excellent redispersibility of solid particles and is resistant to oxidation degradation, so it can be stored after preparation and does not need to be prepared every time it is used. Note that the conditions for redispersing the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention after preparation are not particularly limited, and the above-mentioned preparation method and conditions can be appropriately adopted.
[0161] [Sheet for all-solid-state secondary batteries] The sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention is a sheet-like molded article capable of forming a constituent layer of an all-solid-state secondary battery, and includes various embodiments depending on its application. Examples include a sheet preferably used for a solid electrolyte layer (also referred to as a solid electrolyte sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery), a sheet preferably used for an electrode, or a laminate of an electrode and a solid electrolyte layer (an electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery), etc. In the present invention, these various sheets are collectively referred to as a sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery. In the present invention, each layer constituting the sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery may have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure.
[0162] In the sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery, the solid electrolyte layer or the active material layer on the substrate is formed from the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention. Therefore, by appropriately peeling off the substrate from this sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery and using it as the solid electrolyte layer of an all-solid-state secondary battery or as an electrode (a laminate of a current collector and an active material layer) as it is, the cycle characteristics and conductivity (lower resistance) of the all-solid-state secondary battery can be improved.
[0163] The solid electrolyte sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention may be any sheet having a solid electrolyte layer. It may be a sheet in which the solid electrolyte layer is formed on a substrate, or a sheet formed from the solid electrolyte layer without a substrate (a sheet from which the substrate has been peeled off). The solid electrolyte sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery may have other layers in addition to the solid electrolyte layer. Examples of such other layers include a protective layer (release sheet), a current collector, and a coating layer. The solid electrolyte sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention may be, for example, a sheet having, on a substrate, a layer composed of the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention, typically a solid electrolyte layer, and a protective layer, in this order. The solid electrolyte layer of the solid electrolyte sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery is preferably formed from the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention. The content of each component in this solid electrolyte layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably synonymous with the content of each component in the solid content of the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention. The layer thickness of each layer constituting the solid electrolyte sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery is the same as the layer thickness of each layer described in the all-solid-state secondary battery described below.
[0164] The substrate is not particularly limited as long as it can support the solid electrolyte layer, and examples thereof include sheets (plates) of materials described below for the current collector, organic materials, inorganic materials, etc. Examples of organic materials include various polymers, specifically polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, polyethylene, cellulose, etc. Examples of inorganic materials include glass, ceramics, etc.
[0165] The electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention (also simply referred to as "electrode sheet") may be an electrode sheet having an active material layer. It may be a sheet in which the active material layer is formed on a substrate (current collector), or a sheet formed from the active material layer without a substrate (a sheet from which the substrate has been peeled off). This electrode sheet typically has a current collector and an active material layer, but it may also include an embodiment in which the current collector, active material layer, and solid electrolyte layer are formed in this order, as well as an embodiment in which the current collector, active material layer, solid electrolyte layer, and active material layer are formed in this order. The solid electrolyte layer and active material layer of the electrode sheet are preferably formed from the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention. The content of each component in this solid electrolyte layer or active material layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably synonymous with the content of each component in the solid content of the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition (electrode composition) of the present invention. The layer thickness of each layer constituting the electrode sheet of the present invention is the same as the layer thickness of each layer described in the all-solid-state secondary battery described below. The electrode sheet may also have other layers as described above.
[0166] In the sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention, at least one of the solid electrolyte layer and the active material layer is formed from the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention. Therefore, the sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention has a low-resistance constituent layer in which solid particles containing an inorganic solid electrolyte are bound together, and further has a constituent layer in which the polymer binder is resistant to oxidative degradation. By using this constituent layer as a constituent layer of an all-solid-state secondary battery, it is possible to achieve excellent cycle characteristics and low resistance (high conductivity) of the all-solid-state secondary battery. The sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention can also be produced industrially, for example, by a highly productive roll-to-roll method, using the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention, which has excellent dispersion properties even when the solid content is increased.
[0167] [Method of manufacturing a sheet for all-solid-state secondary batteries] The method for producing the sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention is not particularly limited, and the sheet can be produced by forming each of the above layers using the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention. A preferred method is to form a layer (coated and dried) of the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition on a substrate or a current collector (optionally via another layer) by film formation (coating and drying). This method allows for the production of a sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery having a substrate or a current collector and a coated and dried layer. In particular, when the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention is formed on a current collector to form a film, the adhesion between the current collector and the active material layer can be strengthened. Here, the coated and dried layer refers to a layer formed by coating the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention and drying the dispersion medium (i.e., a layer formed using the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention and having a composition obtained by removing the dispersion medium from the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention). The active material layer and the coated and dried layer may contain residual dispersion medium as long as it does not impair the effects of the present invention. The residual amount can be, for example, 3 mass% or less in each layer. In the method for producing a sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention, each step such as coating and drying will be described in the method for producing an all-solid-state secondary battery below.
[0168] In the method for producing a sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention, the coated and dried layer obtained as described above can also be pressed. The pressing conditions and the like will be described later in the method for producing an all-solid-state secondary battery. In addition, in the method for producing a sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention, the substrate, protective layer (particularly the release sheet), etc. can also be peeled off.
[0169] [All-solid-state secondary battery] The all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention has a positive electrode active material layer, a negative electrode active material layer facing the positive electrode active material layer, and a solid electrolyte layer disposed between the positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer. The all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention is not particularly limited in other configuration as long as it has a solid electrolyte layer between the positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer, and for example, a known configuration related to all-solid-state secondary batteries can be adopted. The positive electrode active material layer is preferably formed on a positive electrode current collector and constitutes a positive electrode. The negative electrode active material layer is preferably formed on a negative electrode current collector and constitutes a negative electrode.
[0170] At least one of the negative electrode active material layer, positive electrode active material layer, and solid electrolyte layer is preferably formed from the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention, and at least one of the negative electrode active material layer and the positive electrode active material layer is preferably formed from the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention. The all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention, in which at least one of the constituent layers is formed from the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention, exhibits excellent cycle characteristics and low resistance (high conductivity) even when produced by the industrially advantageous roll-to-roll method. Furthermore, the all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention exhibits low resistance and high ionic conductivity, allowing for the extraction of large currents. In the present invention, one of the preferred embodiments is that all layers are formed from the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention. In the present invention, forming the constituent layers of an all-solid-state secondary battery from the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention includes an embodiment in which the constituent layers are formed from the sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention (however, if a layer other than the layer formed from the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention is present, this layer is removed from the sheet). When the active material layer or the solid electrolyte layer is not formed from the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention, known materials can be used. In the present invention, each of the constituent layers (including the current collector, etc.) that constitute the all-solid-state secondary battery may have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure.
[0171] <Cathode active material layer, solid electrolyte layer, negative electrode active material layer> The active material layer or solid electrolyte layer formed from the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention preferably has the same component types and contents as those in the solid content of the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention. The thicknesses of the negative electrode active material layer, the solid electrolyte layer, and the positive electrode active material layer are not particularly limited. Taking into consideration the dimensions of a typical all-solid-state secondary battery, the thickness of each layer is preferably 10 to 1,000 μm, and more preferably 20 μm or more and less than 500 μm. In the all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention, it is further preferable that the thickness of at least one of the positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer is 50 μm or more and less than 500 μm. The positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer may each have a current collector on the side opposite to the solid electrolyte layer.
[0172] <Current collector> The positive electrode current collector and the negative electrode current collector are preferably electronic conductors. In the present invention, either the positive electrode current collector or the negative electrode current collector, or both of them together, may be simply referred to as the current collector. As the material for forming the positive electrode current collector, aluminum, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, nickel, titanium, etc., as well as aluminum or stainless steel surface treated with carbon, nickel, titanium or silver (thin film formed), are preferred, and among these, aluminum and aluminum alloy are more preferred. As the material for forming the negative electrode current collector, aluminum, copper, a copper alloy, stainless steel, nickel, titanium, etc., as well as aluminum, copper, a copper alloy, or stainless steel whose surface is treated with carbon, nickel, titanium, or silver are preferred, and aluminum, copper, a copper alloy, and stainless steel are more preferred.
[0173] The collector is usually in the form of a film sheet, but it may also be in the form of a net, a punched material, a lath, a porous material, a foam, or a molded fiber material. The thickness of the current collector is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 to 500 μm. It is also preferable to make the surface of the current collector uneven by surface treatment.
[0174] <Other configurations> In the present invention, a functional layer or member may be appropriately interposed or disposed between or on the outside of each of the negative electrode current collector, negative electrode active material layer, solid electrolyte layer, positive electrode active material layer, and positive electrode current collector.
[0175] <Case> Depending on the application, the all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention may be used as an all-solid-state secondary battery with the above structure as it is, but it is preferable to further encapsulate it in an appropriate casing to make it into a dry battery. The casing may be made of metal or resin (plastic). When a metallic casing is used, for example, an aluminum alloy or stainless steel may be used. It is preferable that the metallic casing is divided into a positive electrode casing and a negative electrode casing, and that the positive electrode current collector and the negative electrode current collector are electrically connected, respectively. It is preferable that the positive electrode casing and the negative electrode casing are joined and integrated via a gasket to prevent short circuits.
[0176] An all-solid-state secondary battery according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 1, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0177] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic diagram of an all-solid-state secondary battery (lithium ion secondary battery) according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The all-solid-state secondary battery 10 of this embodiment has, as viewed from the negative electrode side, a negative electrode current collector 1, a negative electrode active material layer 2, a solid electrolyte layer 3, a positive electrode active material layer 4, and a positive electrode current collector 5, in this order. Each layer is in contact with each other and has an adjacent structure. By adopting such a structure, electrons (e - ) is supplied to the battery, and lithium ions (Li + On the other hand, during discharge, the lithium ions (Li + ) is returned to the positive electrode side, and electrons are supplied to the operating part 6. In the illustrated example, a light bulb is used as a model for the operating part 6, and it is lit by the discharge.
[0178] When an all-solid-state secondary battery having the layer structure shown in FIG. 1 is placed in a 2032-type coin case, this all-solid-state secondary battery is referred to as a laminate 12 for an all-solid-state secondary battery, and a battery produced by placing this laminate 12 for an all-solid-state secondary battery in a 2032-type coin case 11 (for example, a coin-type all-solid-state secondary battery shown in FIG. 2) is sometimes referred to as an all-solid-state secondary battery 13.
[0179] (positive electrode active material layer, solid electrolyte layer, negative electrode active material layer) In the all-solid-state secondary battery 10, the positive electrode active material layer, the solid electrolyte layer, and the negative electrode active material layer are all formed from the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention. This all-solid-state secondary battery 10 exhibits excellent battery performance. The inorganic solid electrolytes and polymer binders contained in the positive electrode active material layer 4, the solid electrolyte layer 3, and the negative electrode active material layer 2 may be the same or different from one another. In the present invention, either the positive electrode active material layer or the negative electrode active material layer, or both together, may be simply referred to as an active material layer or an electrode active material layer. Also, either the positive electrode active material or the negative electrode active material, or both together, may be simply referred to as an active material or an electrode active material.
[0180] The solid electrolyte layer contains an inorganic solid electrolyte having ionic conductivity of a metal belonging to Group 1 or 2 of the periodic table, a polymer binder, and the optional components described above within the scope of not impairing the effects of the present invention, and typically does not contain a positive electrode active material and / or a negative electrode active material. The positive electrode active material layer contains an inorganic solid electrolyte having ionic conductivity of a metal belonging to Group 1 or 2 of the periodic table, a positive electrode active material, a polymer binder, and the above-mentioned optional components and the like within the scope of not impairing the effects of the present invention. The negative electrode active material layer contains an inorganic solid electrolyte having ionic conductivity of a metal belonging to Group 1 or 2 of the periodic table, a negative electrode active material, a polymer binder, and the above-mentioned optional components and the like within the range not impairing the effects of the present invention. In the all-solid-state secondary battery 10, the negative electrode active material layer can be a lithium metal layer. Examples of the lithium metal layer include a layer formed by depositing or molding lithium metal powder, lithium foil, and a lithium vapor deposition film. The thickness of the lithium metal layer can be, for example, 1 to 500 μm, regardless of the thickness of the negative electrode active material layer.
[0181] In the present invention, when the constituent layers are formed from the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention, an all-solid-state secondary battery having excellent cycle characteristics and low resistance can be realized even when produced by an industrially advantageous roll-to-roll method.
[0182] (current collector) The positive electrode current collector 5 and the negative electrode current collector 1 are as described above.
[0183] [Manufacturing all-solid-state secondary batteries] The all-solid-state secondary battery can be manufactured by a conventional method. Specifically, the all-solid-state secondary battery can be manufactured by forming each of the above-mentioned layers using the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention, etc., as described in detail below.
[0184] The all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention can be produced by a method (a method for producing a sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention) including (via) a step of applying the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention to a suitable substrate (for example, a metal foil to be a current collector) and forming (forming) a coating film. For example, a cathode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery is produced by applying an inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition containing a cathode active material as a cathode material (cathode composition) to a metal foil cathode current collector to form a cathode active material layer. Next, an inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition for forming a solid electrolyte layer is applied to the cathode active material layer to form a solid electrolyte layer. Furthermore, an inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition containing a negative electrode active material as a negative electrode material (negative electrode composition) is applied to the solid electrolyte layer to form a negative electrode active material layer. By overlaying a negative electrode current collector (metal foil) on the negative electrode active material layer, an all-solid-state secondary battery with a structure in which a solid electrolyte layer is sandwiched between a positive electrode active material layer and a negative electrode active material layer can be obtained. This can also be enclosed in a housing to form a desired all-solid-state secondary battery. Alternatively, the method for forming each layer may be reversed, and an all-solid-state secondary battery may be produced by forming an anode active material layer, a solid electrolyte layer, and a cathode active material layer on an anode current collector as a substrate, and then stacking the layers on top of the anode current collector.
[0185] Another method is as follows. That is, a positive electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery is produced as described above. Furthermore, an inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition containing a negative electrode active material is applied as a negative electrode material (negative electrode composition) onto a metal foil serving as a negative electrode current collector to form a negative electrode active material layer, thereby producing a negative electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery. Next, a solid electrolyte layer is formed on the active material layer of either of these sheets as described above. Furthermore, the other of the positive electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery and the negative electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery is laminated on the solid electrolyte layer so that the solid electrolyte layer and the active material layer are in contact with each other. In this manner, an all-solid-state secondary battery can be produced. Another method is as follows. That is, a positive electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery and a negative electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery are prepared as described above. Separately, an inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition is applied to a substrate to prepare a solid electrolyte sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery comprising a solid electrolyte layer. Furthermore, the positive electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery and the negative electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery are laminated so as to sandwich the solid electrolyte layer peeled from the substrate. In this manner, an all-solid-state secondary battery can be manufactured.
[0186] Furthermore, a positive electrode sheet or a negative electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery, and a solid electrolyte sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery are produced as described above. Next, the positive electrode sheet or the negative electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery and the solid electrolyte sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery are superimposed on each other with the positive electrode active material layer or the negative electrode active material layer in contact with the solid electrolyte layer, and pressurized. In this way, the solid electrolyte layer is transferred to the positive electrode sheet or the negative electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery. Thereafter, the solid electrolyte layer from which the substrate of the solid electrolyte sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery has been peeled is superimposed on the negative electrode sheet or the positive electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery (with the negative electrode active material layer or the positive electrode active material layer in contact with the solid electrolyte layer), and pressurized. In this way, an all-solid-state secondary battery can be produced. The pressurization method and pressurization conditions in this method are not particularly limited, and the method and pressurization conditions described in the pressurization step described below can be applied.
[0187] The solid electrolyte layer or the like can be formed, for example, by pressure molding an inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition or the like on a substrate or an active material layer under pressure conditions described below, or a sheet molded product of the solid electrolyte or active material can also be used. In the above-described production method, the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention may be used for any one of the positive electrode composition, the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition, and the negative electrode composition. It is preferable to use the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention for the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition or at least one of the positive electrode composition and the negative electrode composition, and the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention may be used for any of the compositions. When a solid electrolyte layer or an active material layer is formed using a composition other than the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention, examples of the material include commonly used compositions, etc. Alternatively, instead of forming a negative electrode active material layer during the production of an all-solid-state secondary battery, the negative electrode active material layer can be formed by bonding ions of a metal belonging to Group 1 or Group 2 of the periodic table, which have accumulated in the negative electrode current collector during initialization or charging during use (described later), with electrons and depositing the metal on the negative electrode current collector, etc.
[0188] <Formation of each layer (film formation)> The method for applying the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition is not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected, for example, by coating (preferably wet coating), spray coating, spin coating, dip coating, slit coating, stripe coating, or bar coating. In this case, the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition may be dried after each coating, or may be dried after multiple coatings. The drying temperature is not particularly limited. The lower limit is preferably 30°C or higher, more preferably 60°C or higher, and even more preferably 80°C or higher. The upper limit is preferably 300°C or lower, more preferably 250°C or lower, and even more preferably 200°C or lower. Heating within this temperature range allows the dispersion medium to be removed and the resulting layer to be in a solid state (coated, dried layer). In addition, it is preferable not to raise the temperature too high, as this avoids damaging the components of the all-solid-state secondary battery. This allows the all-solid-state secondary battery to exhibit excellent overall performance, as well as to obtain good binding properties and good ionic conductivity.
[0189] After applying the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition, after stacking the constituent layers, or after fabricating the all-solid-state secondary battery, it is preferable to pressurize each layer or the all-solid-state secondary battery. Examples of a pressurizing method include a hydraulic cylinder press. The pressure is not particularly limited, and is generally preferably in the range of 5 to 1500 MPa. The applied inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition may be heated simultaneously with pressing. The heating temperature is not particularly limited and is generally in the range of 30 to 300°C. Pressing may also be performed at a temperature higher than the glass transition temperature of the inorganic solid electrolyte. Note that pressing may also be performed at a temperature higher than the glass transition temperature of the polymer contained in the polymer binder. However, the temperature is generally not higher than the melting point of the polymer. The pressure may be applied after the application solvent or dispersion medium has been dried in advance, or may be applied while the solvent or dispersion medium remains. The compositions may be applied simultaneously, or coating, drying and pressing may be carried out simultaneously and / or sequentially. After being applied to separate substrates, the compositions may be laminated by transfer.
[0190] The atmosphere in the film-forming method (coating, drying, and pressurization (under heating)) is not particularly limited, and may be any of the atmosphere, dry air (dew point -20°C or lower), and inert gas (e.g., argon gas, helium gas, and nitrogen gas). The pressing time may be short (for example, within a few hours) and high pressure may be applied, or long (for example, one day or more) and moderate pressure may be applied. In the case of an all-solid-state secondary battery other than a sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery, for example, a restraining device for the all-solid-state secondary battery (such as a screw tightening pressure) may be used to continuously apply moderate pressure. The pressing pressure may be uniform or may vary with respect to the pressed portion such as the sheet surface. The pressure can be varied depending on the area or thickness of the pressed portion, or the same portion can be subjected to different pressures in stages. The press surface may be smooth or roughened.
[0191] The inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention can maintain excellent dispersion properties even when the solid content is increased. Therefore, the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition can be applied at a high solid content. In addition, in the present invention, the formation (film formation) of each of the above-mentioned layers, particularly the application and drying of the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition of the present invention, can be performed using a sheet-like substrate in a so-called batch system, but can also be performed by a roll-to-roll method, which is one of the most productive industrial production methods.
[0192] <Initialization> The all-solid-state secondary battery produced as described above is preferably initialized after production or before use. The initialization is not particularly limited, and can be performed, for example, by carrying out initial charge and discharge under an elevated pressure, and then releasing the pressure until the pressure reaches the general operating pressure of an all-solid-state secondary battery.
[0193] [Applications of all-solid-state secondary batteries] The all-solid-state secondary battery of the present invention can be used in a variety of applications. While there are no particular limitations on the application, examples of applications include electronic devices such as notebook computers, pen-input PCs, mobile PCs, electronic book players, mobile phones, cordless phone handsets, pagers, handheld terminals, portable fax machines, portable copiers, portable printers, headphone stereos, video camcorders, LCD televisions, handheld vacuum cleaners, portable CD players, mini-discs, electric shavers, transceivers, electronic organizers, calculators, memory cards, portable tape recorders, radios, and backup power supplies. Other consumer applications include automobiles (e.g., electric vehicles), electric vehicles, motors, lighting fixtures, toys, game consoles, road conditioners, clocks, flash devices, cameras, and medical devices (e.g., pacemakers, hearing aids, and shoulder massagers). Furthermore, the battery can be used for various military and space applications. It can also be combined with solar cells. [Example]

[0224] 2. Synthesis of sulfide-based inorganic solid electrolytes [Synthesis example A] The sulfide-based inorganic solid electrolyte was synthesized with reference to the non-patent literature of T. Ohtomo, A. Hayashi, M. Tatsumisago, Y. Tsuchida, S. Hama, K. Kawamoto, Journal of Power Sources, 233, (2013), pp. 231-235, and A. Hayashi, S. Hama, H. Morimoto, M. Tatsumisago, T. Minami, Chem. Lett., (2001), pp. 872-873. Specifically, in a glove box under an argon atmosphere (dew point -70°C), 2.42 g of lithium sulfide (Li2S, Aldrich, purity >99.98%) and 3.90 g of diphosphorus pentasulfide (P2S5, Aldrich, purity >99%) were weighed out, placed in an agate mortar, and mixed for 5 minutes using an agate pestle. The molar ratio of Li2S to P2S5 was Li2S:P2S5 = 75:25. Next, 66 g of 5 mm diameter zirconia beads were placed in a 45 mL zirconia container (manufactured by Fritsch), and the entire lithium sulfide and diphosphorus pentasulfide mixture was added. The container was then completely sealed under an argon atmosphere. The container was then placed in a planetary ball mill (trade name, manufactured by Fritsch) and mechanically milled at 25°C and 510 rpm for 20 hours to obtain 6.20 g of a yellow sulfide-based inorganic solid electrolyte powder (Li-PS-based glass, hereafter sometimes referred to as LPS). The particle diameter of the Li-PS-based glass was 15 μm.

[0234] <Preparation of solid electrolyte sheets for all-solid-state secondary batteries> Each of the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing compositions shown in the "Solid Electrolyte Composition No." column in Table 3-1 or Table 3-4 obtained above was applied to a 20 μm-thick aluminum foil using a Baker-type applicator (product name: SA-201, manufactured by Tester Sangyo Co., Ltd.) and heated at 80°C for 2 hours to dry the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition (removing the dispersion medium). The dried inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition was then heated and pressed at 120°C and 40 MPa for 10 seconds using a heat press to produce solid electrolyte sheets for all-solid-state secondary batteries (referred to as solid electrolyte sheets in Tables 3-1 and 3-4) 101 to 107, 123 to 130, and c11 to c16, respectively. The solid electrolyte layer thickness was 40 μm. Sheet No. 122 will be omitted.
[0235] <Preparation of positive electrode sheet for all-solid-state secondary battery> Each of the positive electrode compositions shown in the "Electrode Composition No." column in Table 3-2 or Table 3-4 obtained above was applied to a 20 μm-thick aluminum foil using a Baker-type applicator (product name: SA-201), heated at 80°C for 1 hour, and then heated at 110°C for 1 hour to dry the positive electrode composition (removing the dispersion medium). Thereafter, using a heat press, the dried positive electrode composition was pressed (10 MPa, 1 minute) at 25°C to produce positive electrode sheets for all-solid-state secondary batteries (referred to as positive electrode sheets in Tables 3-2 and 3-4) 108 to 114, 131 to 138, and c21 to c26, respectively, each having a positive electrode active material layer with a thickness of 70 μm.
[0236] <Preparation of negative electrode sheet for all-solid-state secondary battery> Each negative electrode composition shown in the "Electrode Composition No." column in Table 3-3 or Table 3-4 obtained above was applied to a copper foil with a thickness of 20 μm using a Baker-type applicator (product name: SA-201), heated at 80°C for 1 hour, and then heated at 110°C for 1 hour to dry the negative electrode composition (removing the dispersion medium). Thereafter, using a heat press, the dried negative electrode composition was pressed (10 MPa, 1 minute) at 25°C to produce negative electrode sheets for all-solid-state secondary batteries (referred to as negative electrode sheets in Tables 3-3 and 3-4) 115 to 121, 139 to 146, and c31 to c36, respectively, each having a negative electrode active material layer with a thickness of 60 μm.
[0237] <Evaluation 1: Storage stability test (redispersibility)> For each composition prepared as described above, LPS, polymer binder, dispersion medium, active material, and conductive additive were mixed in the same proportions as the composition content and solid content ratios shown in Table 2 under the same conditions as for each composition to prepare a composition (slurry) for dispersibility evaluation. For each prepared composition, the occurrence (presence or absence) of solid particle aggregates was confirmed using a grind meter (manufactured by Asahi Research Institute Co., Ltd.). The size of the aggregates at this time was designated X (μm) and used as an index of initial dispersibility. Separately, each of the prepared compositions was left at 25°C for 24 hours and then remixed at 25°C using a planetary ball mill P-7 (trade name). The rotation speed and time during remixing were the same as those used for preparing the inorganic solid electrolyte composition, the positive electrode composition, and the negative electrode composition. The remixed compositions were examined for the presence or absence of solid particle aggregates using the grind meter. The size of the aggregates at this time was designated Y (μm) and used as an index of redispersibility after storage. The size of the aggregates was determined by the point at which noticeable spots appeared on the applied material on the grind meter (see JIS K-5600-2-5 6.6). The tendency for aggregates to form (aggregation tendency or sedimentation tendency) was evaluated as the storage stability (redispersibility of solid particles) of the solid electrolyte composition depending on which of the following evaluation criteria the aggregate sizes X and Y fell under. In this test, the smaller the aggregate size X, the better the initial dispersibility, and the smaller the aggregate size Y, the better the storage stability. In this test, an aggregate size Y of "D" or higher was considered acceptable, and when the size Y was 8 μm or less (evaluation criteria "C" or higher), the aggregate size X was also included in the evaluation. The results are shown in Tables 3-1 to 3-4 (collectively referred to as Table 3). - Evaluation Criteria - A: Y≦ 5μm and X≦ 5μm B: 5μm <Y≦ 8μm かつ 5μm<X≦ 8μm C: 5μm <Y≦ 8μm かつ 8μm<X≦12μm D: 8μm <Y≦10μm E: 10 μm <Y≦20μm F: 20 μm <Y
[0238] <Evaluation 2: Slurry thickening test (solids concentration test)> For each composition prepared as described above, LPS, polymer binder, dispersion medium, active material, and conductive additive were mixed in the same proportions as the composition content and solid content ratios shown in Table 2 under the same conditions as for each composition to prepare a composition (slurry) for dispersibility evaluation. Each prepared composition was checked for the presence of solid particle agglomerates using a grindmeter (manufactured by Asahi Research Institute Co., Ltd.). In this test, the particle size at which linear and granular marks were generated was observed using the grindmeter, and a particle size of 5 μm or less was defined as the absence of agglomerates. In addition, each composition was evaluated for uniformity (constant coating thickness without running out) using a Baker-type applicator (product name: SA-201) at 25°C. This evaluation (presence or absence of agglomerates and applicability) was repeated by gradually increasing the solids concentration in the composition until agglomerates formed or uniform application became impossible. The dispersibility at high solids concentrations was evaluated based on which of the following evaluation criteria the maximum solids concentration at which uniform application was possible without the formation of agglomerates fell under. The results are shown in Table 3. In this test, a higher maximum solid concentration indicates that excellent dispersibility of solid particles can be maintained even when the solid concentration of the composition is increased, and an evaluation standard of "D" or higher is a passing level. - Evaluation Criteria - A: 70% by mass or more B: Less than 70% by mass, 65% by mass or more C: Less than 65% by mass, 60% by mass or more D: Less than 60% by mass, 55% by mass or more E: Less than 55% by mass, 50% by mass or more F: Less than 50% by mass
[0239] <Evaluation 3: Oxidation resistance (resistance to oxidation degradation)> The prepared inorganic solid electrolyte-containing compositions (slurries) K-1 to K-15 and Kc11 to Kc16 were each placed in an aluminum cup and dried for 2 hours at 100° C. 30 mg of the obtained dried product and 9 mg of acetylene black were placed in a mortar and ground for 5 minutes to prepare test compositions. Next, 100 mg of LPS synthesized in Synthesis Example A was placed in a 10 mm inner diameter PET cylindrical container, and 10 mm stainless steel (SUS) rods were inserted into both openings of the cylindrical container and pressurized to 10 MPa. 30 mg of each test composition prepared above was then placed in the container and pressurized to 30 MPa. Indium foil and Lithium foil were then layered in this order and pressurized to 30 MPa. After releasing the pressure, cyclic voltammetry measurements were performed under the following conditions while applying a pressure of 8 MPa. - Cyclic voltammetry measurement conditions - Oxidation potential range: +1.8V to +5.0V (vs InLi) Sweep speed: 0.1mV / s The electrochemical oxidation resistance of the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition (polymer binder) was evaluated based on whether the minimum current value at 4.2 to 4.5 V in cyclic voltammetry fell within any of the following evaluation criteria. In this test, a smaller current value indicates better oxidation resistance and an effect of suppressing the deterioration of the cycle characteristics of the all-solid-state secondary battery. This test is a test for evaluating the cycle characteristics of the all-solid-state secondary battery from the perspective of the resistance of the polymer binder to oxidation degradation, and is used as a reference test in the present invention. In this test, the pass level is not limited as long as the cycle characteristics test is passed, but an evaluation criterion of "D" or higher is preferred. The results are shown in Tables 3-1 and 3-4. - Evaluation Criteria - A: Less than 0.030mA B: 0.030mA or more, less than 0.040mA C: 0.040mA or more, less than 0.050mA D: 0.050mA or more, less than 0.060mA E: 0.060mA or more, less than 0.070mA F: 0.070mA or more

[0244] <Manufacturing of all-solid-state secondary batteries> First, a positive electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery having a solid electrolyte layer and a negative electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery having a solid electrolyte layer were produced, both of which were to be used in the production of an all-solid-state secondary battery.
[0245] - Fabrication of a cathode sheet with a solid electrolyte layer for all-solid-state secondary batteries - On the positive electrode active material layer of each positive electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery shown in the "Electrode active material layer (sheet No.)" column of Table 4, the solid electrolyte sheet shown in the "Solid electrolyte layer (sheet No.)" column of Table 4 prepared above was superimposed so that the solid electrolyte layer was in contact with the positive electrode active material layer, and after transferring (laminating) by applying a pressure of 50 MPa at 25°C using a press, pressure was applied at 25°C and 600 MPa to prepare positive electrode sheets for an all-solid-state secondary battery Nos. 108 to 114, 131 to 138, and c21 to c26 (positive electrode active material layer thickness 50 μm), each having a solid electrolyte layer with a thickness of 25 μm. Two types of positive electrode sheets for all-solid-state secondary batteries No. 111 were produced: a sheet laminated with a solid electrolyte layer 104 for use in all-solid-state secondary battery No. 104, and a sheet laminated with a solid electrolyte layer c11 for use in all-solid-state secondary battery No. 108.
[0246] - Fabrication of a negative electrode sheet with a solid electrolyte layer for all-solid-state secondary batteries - On the negative electrode active material layer of each negative electrode sheet for all solid state secondary batteries shown in the "Electrode active material layer (sheet No.)" column of Table 4, the solid electrolyte sheet shown in the "Solid electrolyte layer (sheet No.)" column of Table 4 prepared above was superimposed so that the solid electrolyte layer was in contact with the negative electrode active material layer, and after transferring (laminating) by applying a pressure of 50 MPa at 25°C using a press, pressure was applied at 25°C and 600 MPa to prepare negative electrode sheets for all solid state secondary batteries 115 to 121, 139 to 146, and c31 to c36 each having a solid electrolyte layer with a thickness of 25 μm (negative electrode active material layer thickness: 40 μm). Two types of negative electrode sheets for all solid state secondary batteries No. 118 were produced: a sheet laminated with a solid electrolyte layer 104 for use in all solid state secondary battery No. 112, and a sheet laminated with a solid electrolyte layer c11 for use in all solid state secondary battery No. 116.
[0247] An all-solid-state secondary battery No. 101 having the layer structure shown in FIG. 1 was fabricated as follows. The positive electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery No. 108 provided with a solid electrolyte layer obtained above (the aluminum foil of the solid electrolyte-containing sheet had been peeled off) was cut into a disk shape with a diameter of 14.5 mm and placed in a stainless steel 2032-type coin case 11 incorporating a spacer and a washer (not shown in FIG. 2), as shown in FIG. 2. Next, a lithium foil cut into a disk shape with a diameter of 15 mm was placed on top of the solid electrolyte layer. After that, stainless steel foil was further placed on top of that, and the 2032-type coin case 11 was crimped to produce the all-solid-state secondary battery No. 101 shown in FIG. 2. The all-solid-state secondary battery produced in this manner has the layer structure shown in FIG. 1 (where the lithium foil corresponds to the negative electrode active material layer 2 and the negative electrode current collector 1).
[0248] All solid state secondary batteries Nos. 102 to 108, 117 to 124, c101 to c103, and c107 to c109 were produced in the same manner as in the production of all solid state secondary battery No. 101, except that in the production of the all solid state secondary battery No. 101, positive electrode sheets for all solid state secondary batteries having a solid electrolyte layer, represented by the numbers shown in the “Electrode active material layer (sheet No.)” column in Table 4, were used instead of positive electrode sheet No. 108 for all solid state secondary batteries having a solid electrolyte layer.
[0249] An all-solid-state secondary battery No. 109 having the layer structure shown in FIG. 1 was fabricated as follows. The solid electrolyte-containing negative electrode sheet No. 115 for an all-solid-state secondary battery obtained above (the aluminum foil of the solid electrolyte-containing sheet had been peeled off) was cut into a disk shape with a diameter of 14.5 mm and placed in a stainless steel 2032-type coin case 11 incorporating a spacer and a washer (not shown in FIG. 2 ) as shown in FIG. 2 . Next, a positive electrode sheet (positive electrode active material layer) punched out to a diameter of 14.0 mm from the positive electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery prepared below was placed on top of the solid electrolyte layer. A stainless steel foil (positive electrode current collector) was further placed on top of the positive electrode sheet to form an all-solid-state secondary battery laminate 12 (a laminate consisting of stainless steel foil-aluminum foil-positive electrode active material layer-solid electrolyte layer-negative electrode active material layer-copper foil). The 2032-type coin case 11 was then crimped to produce the all-solid-state secondary battery No. 109 shown in FIG. 2 .
[0250] A positive electrode sheet for a solid secondary battery used in the production of all solid secondary battery No. 109 was prepared as follows. - Preparation of positive electrode composition - A 45 mL zirconia container (manufactured by Fritsch) was charged with 180 zirconia beads with a diameter of 5 mm, and 2.7 g of the LPS synthesized in Synthesis Example A above, 0.3 g of KYNAR FLEX 2500-20 (trade name, PVdF-HFP: polyvinylidene fluoride hexafluoropropylene copolymer, manufactured by Arkema) as a solid content mass, and 22 g of butyl butyrate were added. The container was placed in a Fritsch planetary ball mill P-7 (trade name) and stirred at 25°C at 300 rpm for 60 minutes. LiNi was then added as a positive electrode active material.1 / 3 Co 1 / 3 Mn 1 / 3 7.0 g of O2 (NMC) was added, and the container was similarly set in the planetary ball mill P-7, and mixing was continued for 5 minutes at 25°C and 100 rpm to prepare a positive electrode composition. - Fabrication of positive electrode sheets for solid secondary batteries - The positive electrode composition obtained above was applied to a 20 μm-thick aluminum foil (positive electrode current collector) using a Baker-type applicator (product name: SA-201, manufactured by Tester Sangyo Co., Ltd.), and heated at 100° C. for 2 hours to dry the positive electrode composition (remove the dispersion medium). Thereafter, using a heat press, the dried positive electrode composition was pressed (10 MPa, 1 minute) at 25° C. to produce a positive electrode sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery having a positive electrode active material layer with a thickness of 80 μm.
[0251] All solid state secondary batteries Nos. 110 to 116, 125 to 132, c104 to c106, and c110 to c112 were produced in the same manner as in the production of all solid state secondary battery No. 109, except that in the production of all solid state secondary battery No. 109, negative electrode sheets for all solid state secondary batteries having a solid electrolyte layer, represented by the numbers shown in the "Electrode active material layer (sheet No.)" column in Table 4, were used instead of negative electrode sheet No. 115 for all solid state secondary batteries having a solid electrolyte layer.
[0252] <Evaluation 4: Ionic conductivity measurement> The ionic conductivity of each of the manufactured all-solid-state secondary batteries was measured. Specifically, for each all-solid-state secondary battery, AC impedance was measured at a voltage amplitude of 5 mV and a frequency of 1 MHz to 1 Hz using a 1255B FREQUENCY RESPONSE ANALYZER (trade name, manufactured by SOLARTRON) in a thermostatic bath at 25°C. From this, the resistance in the layer thickness direction of the ionic conductivity measurement sample was determined, and the ionic conductivity was calculated using the following formula (C1). The results are shown in Table 4. Equation (C1): Ionic conductivity σ (mS / cm) = 1000 × sample layer thickness (cm) / [resistance (Ω) × sample area (cm 2 )] In formula (C1), the sample layer thickness is the value (total thickness of the solid electrolyte layer and the electrode active material layer) measured before placing the laminate 12 in the 2032-type coin case 11, and is the value obtained by subtracting the thickness of the current collector. The sample area is the area of a disk-shaped sheet with a diameter of 14.5 mm. The obtained ionic conductivity σ was judged to fall within any of the following evaluation criteria. In this test, the ionic conductivity σ is evaluated as passing if it is "D" or higher. - Evaluation Criteria - A: 0.30≦σ B: 0.25≦σ<0.30 C: 0.20≦σ<0.25 D: 0.15≦σ<0.20 E:0.10≦σ<0.15 F: σ<0.10
[0253] <Evaluation 5: Cycle characteristics> The discharge capacity retention rate of each of the produced all-solid-state secondary batteries was measured using a charge / discharge evaluation device TOSCAT-3000 (trade name, manufactured by Toyo Systems Co., Ltd.). Specifically, each all-solid-state secondary battery was charged at a current density of 0.1 mA / cm in an environment of 25°C. 2 The battery was charged at a current density of 0.1 mA / cm until the battery voltage reached 4.3 V. 2 The battery was discharged at 1000 kJ / s until the battery voltage reached 2.5 V. This one charge and one discharge constituted one charge / discharge cycle, and three charge / discharge cycles were repeated under the same conditions to initialize the battery. Thereafter, the above charge / discharge cycle was repeated, and the discharge capacity of each all-solid-state secondary battery was measured after each charge / discharge cycle using a charge / discharge evaluation device: TOSCAT-3000 (product name). The discharge capacity of the first charge / discharge cycle after initialization (initial discharge capacity) was taken as 100%, and the number of charge / discharge cycles at which the discharge capacity retention rate (discharge capacity relative to the initial discharge capacity) reached 80% was evaluated based on which of the following evaluation criteria the battery performance (cycle characteristics) fell into. In this test, the higher the evaluation criterion, the better the battery performance (cycle characteristics), and the more likely the battery is to maintain its initial battery performance even after multiple charge / discharge cycles (even during long-term use). In this test, cycle characteristics that achieved an evaluation criterion of "D" or higher were considered acceptable. The results are shown in Table 4. All of the all solid state secondary batteries Nos. 101 to 132 exhibited initial discharge capacities sufficient to function as all solid state secondary batteries. - Evaluation Criteria - A: More than 600 cycles B: 450 cycles or more, less than 600 cycles C: 300 cycles or more, less than 450 cycles D: 150 cycles or more, less than 300 cycles E: 80 or more cycles, less than 150 cycles F: 40 cycles or more, less than 80 cycles
[0254] [Table 4]
[0255] The results shown in Tables 3 and 4 reveal the following. The comparative inorganic solid electrolyte-containing compositions shown in Nos. Kc11 and Kc13 to Kc16, which do not contain the polymer binder specified in the present invention, are inferior in dispersion characteristics (storage stability and slurry thickening) and cannot improve the cycle characteristics of all-solid-state secondary batteries. The ionic conductivity of Nos. Kc11 and Kc14 to Kc16 also cannot be improved. The comparative inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition shown in No. Kc12, which does not contain the polymer binder specified in the present invention, meets the dispersion characteristics criteria, but also fails to improve the ionic conductivity and cycle characteristics. The polymer binder used in Kc12 and Kc14 also lacks sufficient resistance to oxidation degradation. It can be seen that the electrode compositions shown in PKc21 to PKc26 and NKc21 to NKc26 also show similar trends to the comparative inorganic solid electrolyte-containing compositions. In contrast, the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing compositions shown in Nos. K-1 to K-15, which contain the polymer binder defined in the present invention, have excellent dispersion properties and also excellent oxidation resistance. Furthermore, the electrode compositions shown in Nos. PK-1 to PK-15 and NK-1 to NK-15 also have excellent dispersion properties. Since the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing compositions of the present invention have excellent oxidation resistance, it is clear that electrode compositions using the same polymer binder as the inorganic solid electrolyte-containing compositions also exhibit excellent oxidation resistance. It is clear that by using these inorganic solid electrolyte-containing compositions to form the constituent layers of an all-solid-state secondary battery, the resulting all-solid-state secondary battery can achieve excellent cycle characteristics and high ionic conductivity (low resistance). The oxidation resistance test was performed on a sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery, which is most likely to come into contact with oxygen in the actual manufacturing process. If a composition exhibits an oxidation-inhibiting effect in a sheet for an all-solid-state secondary battery, the same effect can be expected in an inorganic solid electrolyte-containing composition and further in a constituent layer incorporated in an all-solid-state secondary battery.
