In the former method, for example, a high dielectric constant compound, a metal salt, lithium bisoxalate borate, and a solvent as needed are added to the binder polymer according to this embodiment and dissolved. Then, the solution is cast onto the surface of a support to form a coating film and dried to obtain the solid electrolyte.

This electrolyte preparation solution is then cast onto the surface of a support to form a coating film, and the solution in the coating film is dried to obtain a film-like solid electrolyte membrane. In this case, if it is necessary to peel the solid electrolyte membrane from the support, it is preferable that the surface of the support is treated with a peeling treatment.

[0045] [battery] The battery according to this embodiment includes a solid electrolyte according to this embodiment. In this embodiment, it is preferable to include the solid electrolyte according to this embodiment as a constituent material of the electrolyte layer of the battery. The battery consists of an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte layer disposed between the anode and the cathode. With such a configuration, a battery with excellent characteristics can be obtained. Furthermore, the battery is preferably a secondary battery, and more preferably a lithium-ion secondary battery. Alternatively, an electrolyte preparation solution containing a high dielectric constant compound, a metal salt, and lithium bisoxalate borate, as well as a solvent as needed, may be cast onto the electrode to form a solid electrolyte film directly on the electrode. The various components of the lithium-ion secondary battery according to this embodiment are not particularly limited, but for example, materials commonly used in batteries can be used. Furthermore, the solid electrolyte according to this embodiment has ionic conductivity even without containing a solvent. Therefore, if the battery according to this embodiment is made to contain the solid electrolyte according to this embodiment but without a solvent, it can be used safely without leakage.

[0046] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and any modifications, improvements, etc., that can achieve the objectives of the present invention are included in the present invention. [Examples]

[0047] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. The measurements or evaluations in the following examples and comparative examples were performed by the methods described below.

[0048] [Ionic conductivity measurement] The obtained solid electrolyte membrane was cut into a 6 mm diameter circle and sandwiched between two stainless steel plates as electrodes. The impedance between the stainless steel plates was measured. For the measurement, the AC impedance method was used, which involves applying AC (applied voltage of 10 mV) between the electrodes to measure the resistance component. The ionic conductivity was calculated from the real impedance intercept of the resulting Cole-Cole plot. A potentiostat / galvanostat (SP-150, BioLogic) was used for the measurement. The ionic conductivity (σ) was determined by the following formula (F1). σ = L / (R×S) ···(F1) In equation (F3), σ is ionic conductivity (unit: S / cm), R is resistance (unit: Ω), and S is the cross-sectional area of ​​the solid electrolyte membrane at the time of measurement (unit: cm²). 2 ), L indicates the distance between electrodes (unit: cm). The measurement temperatures were 25°C and 60°C. Ionic conductivity (σ) was calculated from the complex impedance measurement results.

[0049] [Voltage Stability Evaluation] The voltage stability (oxidation initiation potential) of a solid electrolyte was evaluated using the Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) method. A BioLogic VMP3 was used for the measurements. A coin cell was fabricated by contacting one side of the solid electrolyte membrane of the sample with a lithium metal electrode and the other side with a SUS substrate, and measurements were taken under the following conditions. Voltage range: 3~6V Scanning speed: 1 mV / s Temperature: 25℃

[0050] [Example 1] (Synthesis of polymerization catalysts) 1.33 g of potassium hexacyanocobalt(III) (K3[Co(CN)6], manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) was dissolved in 20 mL of deionized water and added dropwise over 45 minutes to a 50°C ZnCl2 solution (11.42 g of ZnCl2 dissolved in a mixed solution of 60 mL of deionized water and 30 mL of t-butyl alcohol) that had been vigorously stirred. The mixture was then vigorously stirred for 60 minutes. The resulting white suspension was centrifuged at 5,000 rpm to isolate the white solid. The isolated white solid was resuspended in a solution of t-butyl alcohol and deionized water (volume ratio: t-butyl alcohol:deionized water = 5:5) with vigorous stirring for 30 minutes. Subsequently, the amount of t-butyl alcohol relative to water was gradually increased (volume ratio: t-butyl alcohol:deionized water changed from 6:4 to 7:3, 8:2, and 9:1), and isolation by centrifugation and resuspension were repeated several times. Finally, the white solid was resuspended in t-butyl alcohol and isolated by centrifugation. The DMC catalyst:Zn3(Co[CN]6)2 was then obtained by drying at 50°C under vacuum until a constant weight was reached.

[0051] (Synthesis of ethylene oxide-ethylene carbonate copolymer) 5 mg of DMC catalyst was weighed out for 5 mL of monomer and stirred in a pressure vessel. All of these operations were performed under an argon atmosphere inside the pressure vessel. Subsequently, the pressure vessel was purged with CO2, and then CO2 was introduced into the pressure vessel using a liquid transfer pump to bring the pressure inside the pressure vessel to 4.1 MPa, and the polymerization reaction was carried out at 60°C for 16 hours. After the reaction was complete, chloroform was added to the contents of the pressure vessel to prepare a chloroform solution, and 4M hydrochloric acid was added and the mixture was washed several times. Next, the organic layer was concentrated using a rotary evaporator, and the concentrated solution was added dropwise to stirred methanol to precipitate the product. Subsequently, the product was dried under reduced pressure using a diaphragm pump in a desiccator, and then vacuum dried at 60°C to obtain ethylene oxide-ethylene carbonate copolymer (poly(EC / EO)).

[0052] (Fabrication of solid electrolyte membranes) Ethylene oxide-ethylene carbonate copolymer was used as the binder polymer, LiFSI as the metal salt, glutaronitrile (relative permittivity of 37 at a frequency of 1 kHz) as the high dielectric constant compound, and LiBOB were weighed in a mass ratio of 35:30:35:2. These were dissolved in a solvent (dimethyl carbonate) and thoroughly stirred to obtain an electrolyte preparation solution. The electrolyte preparation solution was then cast onto a fluororesin mold, dried at 60°C for 6 hours under a dry nitrogen atmosphere, and then dried again at 60°C for 24 hours under reduced pressure to remove the dimethyl carbonate and obtain a solid electrolyte film.

[0053] [Comparative Example 1] A solid electrolyte membrane was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that LiBOB was not added when preparing the electrolyte solution.

[0054] [Example 2] A solid electrolyte membrane was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that polycarbonate (PEC, trade name "QPAC-25", manufactured by EMPOWERMATERIALS) was weighed as the binder polymer, LiFSI as the metal salt, glutaronitrile as the high dielectric constant compound, and LiBOB were weighed in a mass ratio of 35:30:35:2.

[0055] [Comparative Example 2] A solid electrolyte membrane was obtained in the same manner as in Example 2, except that LiBOB was not added when preparing the electrolyte solution.

[0056] [Example 3] (Monomer synthesis) Lithium bromide (LiBr) was used after vacuum drying anhydrous LiBr (manufactured by Kanto Chemical Co., Ltd.) at 120°C for 3 hours before use. Carbon dioxide was used by filling a gas collection balloon with liquefied carbon dioxide (99.995% purity) at atmospheric pressure. In a 300 mL three-necked flask, LiBr (434 mg, 5.0 mmol), 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate glycidyl ether (4HBAGE, 20.02 g, 100 mmol, manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation), and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF, 60 mL) were added. A 5 L gas collection balloon filled with carbon dioxide was connected, and the pressure was reduced to replace the inside of the reaction vessel with carbon dioxide. The mixture was heated at 100°C for 16 hours under a carbon dioxide atmosphere. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction solution was poured in pure water, the organic matter was extracted with toluene, the resulting organic layer was washed five times with saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the crude product of monomer A. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent hexane / ethyl acetate = 2 / 1), and monomer A was isolated in 88% yield.

[0057] [ka]

[0058] (Fabrication of solid electrolyte membranes) Monomer A, a photoinitiator (Darocur 1173, manufactured by BASF), LiFSI as a metal salt, propylene carbonate (relative permittivity of 64 at a frequency of 1 kHz) as a high dielectric constant compound, and LiBOB were weighed in a mass ratio of 24:1:50:25:0.5 and thoroughly stirred to obtain an electrolyte preparation solution. This electrolyte preparation solution was cast onto a support substrate and irradiated with UV under a nitrogen atmosphere to polymerize monomer A, thereby obtaining a solid electrolyte film containing polymer A (acrylate-based polymer) as described below.

[0059] [ka]

[0060] [Comparative Example 3] A solid electrolyte membrane was obtained in the same manner as in Example 3, except that LiBOB was not added when preparing the electrolyte solution.

[0061] [Evaluation of solid electrolytes] The solid electrolyte membranes obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were subjected to ionic conductivity measurements and voltage stability evaluations. The results are shown in Table 1. Table 1 also shows the type of binder polymer and the presence or absence of LiBOB in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3.

[0062] [Table 2]

[0063] As is clear from the results shown in Table 1, the solid electrolyte membranes obtained in Examples 1-3, which used LiBOB, had a higher oxidation initiation potential and improved oxidation resistance compared to the solid electrolyte membranes obtained in Comparative Examples 1-3, which did not use LiBOB. Furthermore, the solid electrolyte membranes obtained in Examples 1-3 were found to have high ionic conductivity. From this, it was confirmed that the solid electrolyte of the present invention has high ionic conductivity and sufficient oxidation resistance.
