The following is presented as an example and is not intended to limit the present invention, and the present invention is defined only by the scope of the claims set forth below.

In this specification, the term "combination" includes mixtures, alloys, reaction products, etc., unless specifically stated otherwise.

[0042] In this specification, the term "includes" means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components.

[0043] In this specification, terms such as "first," "second," etc., are used to distinguish one element from another without indicating order, quantity, or importance. Unless otherwise indicated in this specification or clearly contradicted by the context, they should be interpreted to include both singular and plural forms. "Or" means "and / or" unless otherwise specified.

[0044] Throughout this specification, terms such as “one embodiment,” “an embodiment,” etc., mean that specific elements described in relation to an embodiment are included in at least one embodiment described herein and may or may not be present in other embodiments. Furthermore, it should be understood that the described elements may be combined in any appropriate manner in various embodiments.

[0045] Unless otherwise defined, technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. All cited patents, patent applications, and other references are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. However, in the event that terms in this specification contradict or conflict with terms in the incorporated reference, terms from this specification shall prevail over conflicting terms in the incorporated reference.

Accordingly, the appended claims and subject to amendment are intended to include all such alternatives, variations, improvements, and substantial equivalents.

[0046] Solid ion conductors are used as solid electrolytes. However, solid electrolytes cannot possess high ionic conductivity compared to liquid electrolytes. Therefore, when solid electrolytes are applied to electrochemical devices, these devices exhibit poor charge and discharge characteristics at room temperature.

[0047] Among solid ion conductors, sulfide-based and oxide-based solid ion conductors are being widely studied. Sulfide-based solid ion conductors exhibit excellent ion conductivity, but their chemical and electrochemical stability are degraded due to factors such as gas generation. Oxide-based solid ion conductors have excellent chemical stability but poor moldability and low ion conductivity, resulting in poor charge-discharge characteristics when applied to electrochemical devices. Therefore, to compensate for these shortcomings, a process for crystallizing oxide-based solid ion conductors at high temperatures exceeding 1000°C is required.

[0048] Recently, halide-based solid electrolytes are being studied as solid ion conductors. Halide-based solid electrolytes can be molded by applying pressure alone and do not generate gas. Li3InCl6 is an example of a halide-based solid electrolyte. Alternatively, Li3YCl6 is widely used. However, halide-based solid electrolytes such as Li3InCl6 or Li3YCl6 may still have unsatisfactory ionic conductivity. Furthermore, when these halide-based solid electrolytes come into contact with a lithium-containing metal electrode during cell assembly, the central metal may be reduced, potentially leading to increased resistance or the generation of decomposition products that cause a short circuit.

[0049] To address these issues, the inventors of the present invention propose a solid ion conductor, a solid electrolyte and an electrochemical device including the same, and a method for manufacturing the solid ion conductor.

[0050] Hereinafter, a solid ion conductor, a solid electrolyte and an electrochemical device including the same, and a method for manufacturing the solid ion conductor are described in detail.

[0052] Solid ion conductors

[0053] A solid ion conductor according to one embodiment may include a compound represented by the following chemical formula 1:

[0054] <Chemical Formula 1>

[0055] Li a M bM' c X d O e

[0056] In the above chemical formula 1,

[0057] M may be one or more metals selected from Lu, Ho, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Er, Tm, Yb, Ga, In, Ce, Pr, Ti, Zr, or Hf having an oxidation number of +3 or +4, and

[0058] M' may be one or more metals selected from Na, K, Cs, Cu, or Ag having an oxidation number of +1, and

[0059] X may be one or more elements selected from among halogen elements, and

[0060] 0 < a < 4, 0.5 < b < 1.5, 0≤ c < 1.5, 0 < d < 6.5, 0 < e < 1.

[0061] The compound represented by the above chemical formula 1 may include a compound represented by the following chemical formula 2:

[0062] <Chemical Formula 2>

[0063] Li a M b M' c Cl d1 Br d2 F d3 I d4 O e

[0064] In the above chemical formula 2,

[0065] M may be one or more metals selected from Lu, Ho, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Er, Tm, Yb, Ga, In, Ce, Pr, Ti, Zr, or Hf having an oxidation number of +3 or +4, and

[0066] M' may be one or more metals selected from Na, K, Cs, Cu, or Ag having an oxidation number of +1, and

[0067] 0 < a < 4, 0.5 < b < 1.5, 0≤ c < 1.5, 0< d1 < 6.5, 0< d2< 6.5, 0 ≤ d3 < 6.5, 0 ≤ d4 < 6.5, 0 < e < 1.

[0068] The above compound is a halide-based solid ion conductor having a metal with an oxidation state of +3 or +4 as the central element and a portion of the halide elements substituted with oxygen. Alternatively, the above compound is a halide-based solid ion conductor having a metal with an oxidation state of +3 or +4 as the central element, with a portion of the halide elements substituted with oxygen and the Li site substituted with a metal with an oxidation state of +1. The above solid ion conductor can be used as a solid electrolyte that possesses excellent ion conductivity and suppresses a chain reaction in which the central metal is reduced upon contact with a lithium-containing metal electrode due to the introduction of oxygen. When the above solid ion conductor is applied to an electrochemical device, the electrochemical device enables excellent cycle stability with a lithium-containing metal electrode and reversible realization of the designed anode capacity.

[0069] The reasons why the above compound enables superior cycle stability with a lithium-containing metal electrode and reversible expression of the designed anode capacity during cell assembly compared to halide-based solid ion conductors such as Li3InCl6 or Li3YCl6 are explained in more detail below; however, this is intended to aid in understanding the present invention and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the scope of the following description.

[0070] FIG. 1a is a schematic diagram showing that when a halide-based solid ion conductor, which is compared as a solid electrolyte, comes into contact with a metal electrode containing lithium, an electron-conducting decomposition product is generated by a chain reduction reaction. FIG. 1b is a schematic diagram showing that when a halide-based solid ion conductor according to one embodiment comes into contact with a metal electrode containing lithium as a solid electrolyte, a metal oxide that inhibits the reduction reaction is generated.

[0071] As shown in FIG. 1a, when a halide-based solid ion-conducting solid electrolyte (200) comes into contact with a metal electrode (100) containing lithium, a chain reduction reaction occurs according to the following reaction equation 1 to produce an electron-conducting decomposition product (M, 300):

[0072] <Reaction Equation 1>

[0073] Li3MCl6 + 3Li → M + 6LiCl

[0074] Among the foods,

[0075] M is a metal with an oxidation number of +3.

[0076] The above electronically conductive decomposition product (M) may cause a short circuit when in contact with a metal electrode (1) containing lithium as an electronic conductor. Additionally, the LiCl generated by the reduction reaction may increase resistance as an insulator. When such a halide-based solid ion-conducting solid electrolyte (200) is applied to a cell using a metal electrode containing lithium, not only is stable cycle operation difficult, but the reversible expression of the designed anode capacity is also difficult.

[0077] As shown in FIG. 1b, when a halide-based solid ion conductor (400) according to one embodiment comes into contact with a metal electrode containing lithium, almost no electron-conducting decomposition product (M, 300) is generated, and a metal oxide M2O (500) that inhibits the reduction reaction is generated by the following reaction scheme 2:

[0078] <Reaction Equation 2>

[0079] 2Li3MCl6+ 3Li2O → 12LiCl + M2O3

[0080] Among the foods,

[0081] M is a metal with an oxidation number of +3.

[0082] The reduction reaction from the metal oxide M2O (500) to the central element M is a non-spontaneous reaction according to the following reaction equation 3:

[0083] <Reaction Equation 3>

[0084] M2O3 + 6Li → 2M + 3Li2O

[0085] Among the foods,

[0086] M is a metal with an oxidation number of +3.

[0087] For example, in the case where the above M is Lu △H = 99 kJ mol -1 am.

[0088] Therefore, when a halide-based solid ion conductor solid electrolyte (400) according to one implementation is applied to a cell using a lithium-containing metal electrode, excellent cycle stability with the lithium-containing metal electrode and reversible expression of the designed anode capacity are enabled.

[0089] The above compound may include a compound represented by the following chemical formula 3:

[0090] <Chemical Formula 3>

[0091] Li a M b M' c X d O e

[0092] In the above chemical formula 3,

[0093] M may be one or more metals selected from Lu, Ho, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Er, Tm, Yb, Ga, In, Ti, Zr, or Hf having an oxidation number of +3 or +4, and

[0094] M' may be one or more metals selected from Na, K, Cs, Cu, or Ag having an oxidation number of +1, and

[0095] X may be one or more elements selected from Cl or Br, and

[0096] 0 < a < 4, 0.5 < b < 1.5, 0≤ c < 1.5, 0 < d < 6.5, 0 < e < 1, and 0 < e / b < 0.5.

[0097] When the molar ratio of O / M of the above compound is greater than 0 and less than 0.5, it can be used as a solid electrolyte while maintaining excellent ionic conductivity.

[0098] The above compound may include a compound represented by the following chemical formula 4:

[0099] <Chemical Formula 4>

[0100] Li a M b M' c X d O e

[0101] In the above chemical formula 4,

[0102] M may be one or more metals selected from Lu, Ho, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Er, Tm, Yb, Ga, In, Ti, Zr, or Hf having an oxidation number of +3 or +4, and

[0103] M' may be one or more metals selected from Na, K, Cs, Cu, or Ag having an oxidation number of +1, and

[0104] X may be one or more elements selected from Cl or Br, and

[0105] 0 < a < 4, 0.5 < b < 1.5, 0≤ c < 1.5, 0 < d < 6.5, 0 < e < 1, and 2≤ a / b ≤ 6.

[0106] For example, in the above chemical formula 4, 2 ≤ a / b ≤ 4.

[0107] When the molar ratio of Li / M of the above compound is 2 or more and 6 or less, it can be used as a solid electrolyte while maintaining excellent ionic conductivity due to the large number of Li cations distributed within the crystal structure of the above compound.

[0108] For example, the above compound may include a compound represented by the following chemical formula 5 or chemical formula 6:

[0109] <Chemical Formula 5>

[0110] Li p M q X r-w O w

[0111] In the above chemical formula 5,

[0112] M may be one or more metals selected from Lu, Ho, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Er, Tm, Yb, Ga, or In having an oxidation number of +3, and

[0113] X may be one or more elements selected from Cl or Br, and

[0114] 0 < p < 4, 0.5 < q < 1.5, 0 < r < 6.5, 0 < w < 1, and 0 < w / q < 0.5.

[0115] <Chemical Formula 6>

[0116] Li p M q M' z X r-w O w

[0117] In the above chemical formula 6,

[0118] M may be one or more metals selected from Lu, Ho, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Er, Tm, Yb, Ga, or In having an oxidation number of +3, and

[0119] M' may be one or more metals selected from Na, K, Cs, Cu, or Ag having an oxidation number of +1, and

[0120] X may be one or more elements selected from Cl or Br, and

[0121] 0 < p < 4, 0.5 < q < 1.5, 0 < r < 6.5, 0 < w < 1, and 2 < p / q ≤ 6, 0 < w / q < 0.5. For example, in the above chemical formula 6, 2 < p / q ≤ 4.

[0186] The thickness of the thin film (24) may be 1 nm to 500 nm, but is not limited thereto. When the thickness of the thin film (24) is within the above range, the function of the thin film (24) is sufficiently performed, and the amount of lithium precipitated in the negative electrode layer is appropriate, so the characteristics of the all-solid-state secondary battery (1) are excellent. The thin film (24) can be formed on the negative electrode current collector (21) by, for example, vacuum deposition, sputtering, plating, etc.
