In particular, the sulfide-based solid electrolyte may be an argyrodite-type compound including at least one selected from Li6PS5Cl, Li6PS5Br, and Li6PS5I. Alternatively, the sulfide-based solid electrolyte may be Li 7-a M a PS 6-c X c It may be an argyrodite-type compound containing (0≤a≤2, (0≤c≤2)), where X may be F, Br, Cl, or a combination thereof.

[0049] The acetate compound may be, for example, polyvinylacetate, polyethylene-co-vinyl acetate, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate butyrate, or cellulose acetate propionate.
[0050] The above cyano compound may be, for example, cyanoethyl sucrose.
[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, the binder may include at least one of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), and nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR).
[0052] The binder may be added so that the binder content in the slurry mixture is 1 wt% to 10 wt%. If the binder content is below the above range, the binder dispersion effect may be reduced in the kneading process described below. If the binder content exceeds the above range, the slurry phase stability may be reduced due to binder agglomeration.
[0053] For example, the solvent may include at least one selected from the group consisting of water, methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, glycerol, isobutyryl isobutyrate, xylene, toluene, benzene, and hexane. The solvent may include an aqueous solvent. The type of the aqueous solvent may not be limited. In one embodiment, the solvent may be water.
[0054] The solids content of the slurry mixture can be controlled by using a solvent. The solids content of the slurry mixture according to the present embodiment can be controlled to be between 65 wt% and 80 wt%. The slurry mixture according to the present embodiment can be prepared to have a relatively high solids content.
[0055] A mixing process can be performed on the slurry mixture (S20). The mixing process can be performed using a mixer or a kneader. In one embodiment of the present invention, the mixing process can be performed using a PD mixer (Planetary Disperser mixer), a planetary mixer, a paddle mixer, a ribbon mixer, a dual shaft mixer mixer, a high-speed impeller mixer, or a propeller mixer.
[0056] The mixing process (S20) may include a first kneading process (S22) and a second kneading process (S23). The first kneading process (S22) and the second kneading process (S23) may be performed sequentially within a single mixer.
[0057] The first kneading process (S22) according to the present invention can be performed on a slurry mixture having a relatively high solids content. As a result, the slurry mixture can be transformed into a matte slurry through the first kneading process (S22).
[0058] The solids content of the slurry mixture in the first kneading process (S22) may be 65 wt% to 80 wt%. The first kneading process (S22) may be performed at 25°C to 60°C for 10 to 70 minutes.
[0059] By adding a solvent to the slurry mixture after the primary kneading process (S22) has been completed, the solids content of the slurry mixture can be reduced. In one embodiment of the present invention, an additive may be further added to the slurry mixture. For example, the additive may include at least one selected from the group consisting of a filler, a coating agent, a dispersant, and an ion-conducting aid.
[0060] A secondary kneading process using a mixer may be performed on the slurry mixture to which a solvent has been added (S23). The solids content of the slurry mixture in the secondary kneading process (S23) may be 55 wt% to 65 wt%. The secondary kneading process (S23) may be performed at 10°C to 25°C for 20 minutes to 50 minutes. In one embodiment, the process temperature of the secondary kneading process (S23) may be lower than the process temperature of the primary kneading process (S22). The secondary kneading process (S23) may be performed for a shorter time than the primary kneading process (S22).
[0061] The secondary kneading process (S23) according to the present invention can be performed on a slurry having a lower solid content than the primary kneading process (S22). This allows a solid electrolyte slurry having a desired viscosity to be produced.
[0062] A defoaming process can be performed on the solid electrolyte slurry after the mixing process (S20) has been completed (S30). The defoaming process can remove air bubbles remaining within the solid electrolyte slurry.
[0063]
[0064] FIG. 1B is a flowchart illustrating a method for manufacturing a solid electrolyte slurry according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1B, the mixing process (S20) may further include a wetting process (S21). The wetting process (S21) may be performed before the primary kneading process (S22). In one embodiment, the solid content of the slurry mixture in the wetting process (S21) may be 65 wt% to 80 wt%. The wetting process (S21) may be performed at 10°C to 25°C for 5 minutes to 30 minutes. In one embodiment, the wetting process (S21) may be performed multiple times (e.g., twice).
[0065] The solids content of the slurry mixture can be increased by additionally adding a raw material solution to the slurry mixture after the wetting process (S21) has been completed. The raw material solution may include a solid electrolyte, a binder, and a solvent. The solid electrolyte, binder, and solvent may be the same as or similar to those described above. In another embodiment of the present invention, the raw material solution may not be additionally added.
[0066] A first kneading process using a mixer can be performed on a slurry mixture to which a raw material solution has been added (S22). The solids content of the slurry mixture in the first kneading process (S22) can be 65 wt% to 80 wt%. The first kneading process (S22) can be performed at 25°C to 60°C for 10 to 70 minutes.
[0067]
[0068] FIG. 2a and FIG. 2b are schematic diagrams each illustrating a method for forming a solid electrolyte layer using a solid electrolyte slurry according to embodiments of the present invention.
[0069] Referring to FIG. 2a, a solid electrolyte slurry (SES) manufactured using the manufacturing method of FIG. 1a or FIG. 1b may be applied onto an electrode layer (ELL). The electrode layer (ELL) may include a positive electrode layer or a negative electrode layer of an all-solid-state battery. A more specific description of the positive electrode layer or negative electrode layer of an all-solid-state battery will be described below with reference to FIG. 4.
[0070] A solid electrolyte slurry (SES) can be applied onto an electrode layer (ELL) using a coating apparatus (COT). For example, the solid electrolyte slurry (SES) can be applied using a doctor blade, spraying, bar coating, slot die coating, or other methods.
[0071] Referring to FIG. 2b, a porous substrate (PSU) may be provided on a substrate (SUB). For example, the porous substrate (PSU) may include a non-woven fabric. A solid electrolyte slurry (SES) manufactured using the manufacturing method of FIG. 1a or FIG. 1b may be applied onto the porous substrate (PSU). The solid electrolyte slurry (SES) may be applied onto the porous substrate (PSU) via a coating device (COT).
[0072] The solid electrolyte slurry (SES) can penetrate into the porous substrate (PSU) and form a solid electrolyte layer together with the porous substrate (PSU). The solid electrolyte layer manufactured according to the present embodiment can have a free-standing film form.

[0074] solid electrolyte slurry
[0075] FIG. 3a is an enlarged cross-sectional view of area M of FIG. 2a for explaining a solid electrolyte slurry according to one embodiment of the present invention.
[0076] Referring to FIG. 3a, a solid electrolyte slurry according to the present invention may include solid electrolyte particles (SEL), a first binder (BID1), and a second binder (BID2). The first binder (BID1) and the second binder (BID2) may include the same material. The first binder (BID1) may cover the surface of the solid electrolyte particles (SEL). The second binder (BID2) may have an aggregated form between the solid electrolyte particles (SEL).
[0077] The solid electrolyte slurry according to the present invention can have a first binder (BID1) that covers the entire surface of the solid electrolyte particles (SEL). The first binder (BID1) can uniformly coat the surface of the solid electrolyte particles (SEL). The second binder (BID2) is almost absent, and the size of the second binder (BID2) can be relatively small. For example, the average size of the second binder (BID2) can be smaller than the average particle diameter (D50) of the solid electrolyte particles (SEL).
[0078] The solid electrolyte slurry according to the present invention may have a relatively low viscosity compared to other slurries having the same solid content. According to the results of measuring the shear viscosity of the solid electrolyte slurry of the present invention, the viscosity may be 100 mPa·s to 4,000 mPa·s, more specifically, 200 mPa·s to 2,000 mPa·s, at a shear rate of 10 (1 / s).
[0079] The solid electrolyte slurry according to the present invention can have relatively excellent dispensability compared to other slurries having the same solid content. According to the results of measuring the shear viscosity of the solid electrolyte slurry of the present invention, the ratio of the viscosity at a shear rate of 10 (1 / s) to the viscosity at 1000 (1 / s), i.e., the Thixotropic Index (TI), can be 0.2 or more. More specifically, the TI can be 0.2 to 0.5.
[0080] In one embodiment, the solid electrolyte slurry coated on the electrode may have an adhesive strength of 0.4 gf / mm to 0.8 gf / mm. The adhesive strength may refer to an adhesive strength between the electrode and the solid electrolyte layer formed from the slurry. The adhesive strength may be measured using a tensile strength tester. The adhesive strength may refer to an adhesive strength before the electrode and the solid electrolyte layer are rolled. In other words, the adhesive strength may change after the electrode and the solid electrolyte layer are rolled.
[0081] The solid electrolyte slurry according to the present invention can have low viscosity and excellent dispersibility relative to its solid content. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 3a, a solid electrolyte layer manufactured using the solid electrolyte slurry can uniformly coat the surface of solid electrolyte particles (SEL) with the binder mostly in the form of the first binder (BID1). As a result, a solid electrolyte layer manufactured using the slurry of the present invention can have improved electrical properties.

[0086] The positive electrode current collector (110) can provide a reference surface on which the positive electrode active material layer (120) is arranged. The positive electrode current collector (110) can have a plate or foil shape. For example, the positive electrode current collector (110) can include indium (In), copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), stainless steel, titanium (Ti), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), aluminum (Al), germanium (Ge), lithium (Li), or an alloy thereof.
[0087] Unlike the one illustrated in FIG. 4, in one embodiment of the present invention, the positive electrode current collector (110) may be omitted. Although not illustrated, a carbon layer having a thickness of 0.1 μm to 4 μm may be additionally disposed between the positive electrode current collector (110) and the positive electrode active material layer (120) to increase the bonding strength between the positive electrode current collector (110) and the positive electrode active material layer (120).

Meanwhile, the coating layer added to the surface of the positive electrode active material may include, for example, an oxide, a hydroxide, an oxyhydroxide, an oxycarbonate, or a hydroxycarbonate of the coating elements below. The compound forming the coating layer may be amorphous or crystalline. The coating elements included in the coating layer may include Mg, Al, Co, K, Na, Ca, Si, Ti, V, Sn, Ge, Ga, B, As, Zr, or mixtures thereof. The coating layer may include, for example, Li2O-ZrO2 (LZO). The method for forming the coating layer may be selected within a range that does not adversely affect the physical properties of the positive electrode active material. The method for forming the coating layer may include, for example, a spray coating method or an immersion method.
[0092] When the positive electrode active material includes nickel (Ni) as a ternary lithium transition metal oxide such as NCA or NCM, for example, the capacity density of the all-solid-state battery (10) can be increased, thereby reducing metal dissolution of the positive electrode active material in a charged state. As a result, the cycle characteristics of the all-solid-state battery (10) in a charged state can be improved. Meanwhile, the “cycle characteristics” are characteristics indicating the degree to which the all-solid-state battery (10) is deteriorated due to charge / discharge of the all-solid-state battery (10). An all-solid-state battery (10) with high cycle characteristics can have a small degree of deterioration of the all-solid-state battery (10) due to charge / discharge, and an all-solid-state battery (10) with low cycle characteristics can have a large degree of deterioration of the all-solid-state battery (10) due to charge / discharge.
[0093] The shape of the positive electrode active material may include particle shapes such as a sphere or an ellipsoid, for example. The particle size and content of the positive electrode active material are not particularly limited.
[0094] The solid electrolyte may include a sulfide-based solid electrolyte having excellent lithium ion conductivity characteristics. Examples of the sulfide-based solid electrolyte include Li2S-P2S5, Li2S-P2S5-LiX (X is a halogen element), Li2S-P2S5-Li2O, Li2S-P2S5-Li2O-LiI, Li2S-SiS2, Li2S-SiS2-LiI, Li2S-SiS2-LiBr, Li2S-SiS2-LiCl, Li2S-SiS2-B2S3-LiI, Li2S-SiS2-P2S5-LiI, Li2S-B2S3, Li2S-P2S5-Z. m S n (m, n are positive numbers, capital letter “Z” represents Ge, Zn or Ga), Li2S-GeS2, Li2S-SiS2-Li3PO4, Li2S-SiS2-Li p MO q (p, q are positive numbers, capital letter “M” is one of P, Si, Ge, B, Al, Ga In), Li 7-x PS 6-x Cl x (0≤x≤2), Li 7-x PS 6-x Br x (0≤x≤2), and Li 7-x PS 6-x I x It may include at least one selected from (0≤x≤2).
[0095] Sulfide-based solid electrolytes include, for example, Li 7-x PS 6-x Cl x (0≤x≤2), Li 7-x PS 6-x Br x (0≤x≤2), and Li 7-x PS 6-x I x(0≤x≤2) may be an argyrodite-type compound including at least one selected from. In particular, the sulfide-based solid electrolyte may be an argyrodite-type compound including at least one selected from Li6PS5Cl, Li6PS5Br, and Li6PS5I. The density of the argyrodite-type solid electrolyte may be 1.5 g / cc to 2.0 g / cc. Since the argyrodite-type solid electrolyte has a density of 1.5 g / cc or more, the internal resistance of the all-solid-state battery is reduced, and the defect of the solid electrolyte membrane being penetrated and short-circuited due to the formation of lithium dendrites can be prevented. The elastic modulus of the solid electrolyte may be, for example, 15 GPa to 35 GPa.
[0096] The solid electrolyte included in the positive electrode active material layer (120) may have a smaller median particle size (D50) than the solid electrolyte included in the solid electrolyte layer (300). For example, the median particle size (D50) of the solid electrolyte included in the positive electrode active material layer (120) may be 90% or less, 80% or less, 70% or less, 60% or less, 50% or less, 40% or less, 30% or less, or 20% or less of the median particle size (D50) of the solid electrolyte included in the solid electrolyte layer (300). Meanwhile, the median particle size (D50) may be a median diameter measured using a laser particle size distribution meter.
[0097] The positive electrode active material layer (120) may include a conductive material. The conductive material may have conductivity without causing a chemical change in the all-solid-state battery (10), thereby increasing the conductivity of the positive electrode active material and the solid electrolyte. The conductive material may include a carbon-based material. The conductive material may include, for example, one or more selected from graphite, carbon black, acetylene black, carbon nanofibers, and carbon nanotubes.
[0098] The positive electrode active material layer (120) may further include a binder. The binder may include a material for binding the positive electrode active material, solid electrolyte, and conductive material included in the positive electrode active material layer (120) and improving bonding strength with the positive electrode current collector (110). For example, the binder may include polyvinylidene fluoride, styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, vinylidene fluoride / hexafluoropropylene copolymer, polyacrylonitrile, or polymethyl methacrylate.
[0099] When the total amount of the positive electrode active material, the solid electrolyte, the conductive material, and the binder is 100 parts by weight, the positive electrode active material layer (120) may include 85 parts by weight to 92 parts by weight of the positive electrode active material. The positive electrode active material layer (120) may include 0.5 parts by weight to 1.5 parts by weight of the binder.
[0100] Within the positive electrode active material layer (120), the conductive material may be present in an amount of 1 to 50 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the solid electrolyte. If the conductive material is present in an amount less than 1 part by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the solid electrolyte, the electrical conductivity of the positive electrode active material layer (120) may be reduced. If the conductive material is present in an amount greater than 50 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the solid electrolyte, the conductive material ratio may be excessively high, and thus a covering layer covering the surface of the solid electrolyte may not be properly formed.
[0101] According to embodiments, the positive electrode active material layer (120) may further include at least one additive selected from the group consisting of a filler, a coating agent, a dispersant, and an ion conductive auxiliary agent in addition to the above-described positive electrode active material, solid electrolyte, conductive agent, and binder.
[0102] The solid electrolyte layer (300) is disposed between the positive electrode layer (100) and the negative electrode layer (200) and may include a sulfide-based solid electrolyte having excellent lithium ion conductivity characteristics. The solid electrolyte included in the solid electrolyte layer (300) may be the same as or different from any one of the materials that may be included in the solid electrolyte included in the positive electrode active material layer (120) described above.
[0103] The solid electrolyte layer (300) may further include a binder. The binder in the solid electrolyte layer (300) may be, for example, styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyethylene, etc., but is not limited thereto. The binder of the solid electrolyte layer (300) may be the same as or different from the binder included in the positive electrode active material layer (120) or the binder included in the negative electrode coating layer (220).
[0104] The negative electrode layer (200) may include a negative electrode current collector (210) and a negative electrode coating layer (220) on the negative electrode current collector (210). The negative electrode current collector (210) may provide a reference surface on which the negative electrode coating layer (220) is disposed. The negative electrode current collector (210) may include, for example, a material that does not react with lithium, i.e., does not form an alloy or a compound with lithium. For example, the negative electrode current collector (210) may include at least one metal selected from the group consisting of copper (Cu), stainless steel, titanium (Ti), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), and nickel (Ni). The thickness of the negative electrode current collector (210) may be 1 μm to 20 μm, more specifically 5 μm to 15 μm, and more specifically 7 μm to 10 μm.
[0105] The negative electrode current collector (210) may be composed of one of the above-described metals, or may include an alloy or coating material of two or more metals. The negative electrode current collector (210) may have, for example, a plate shape or a foil shape. Meanwhile, in one embodiment, the negative electrode current collector (210) may be omitted.
[0106] The negative electrode coating layer (220) can allow lithium metal to grow between it and the negative electrode current collector (210) when the all-solid-state battery (10) is charged. The negative electrode coating layer (220) can act as a protective layer for the lithium metal and simultaneously suppress the precipitation and growth of lithium dendrites.
[0107] The cathode coating layer (220) may include a metal and carbon. For example, the cathode coating layer (220) may include at least one metal selected from the group consisting of gold (Au), platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), silicon (Si), silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), bismuth (Bi), tin (Sn), and zinc (Zn). The cathode coating layer (220) may include at least one carbon selected from the group consisting of carbon black, acetylene black, furnace black, ketjen black, and graphene. In one embodiment, the cathode coating layer (220) may include a mixture of carbon black and silver (Ag).
[0108] The cathode coating layer (220) may further include additives other than metal and carbon. The cathode coating layer (220) may further include, for example, at least one additive selected from the group consisting of a binder, a filler, a coating agent, a dispersant, and an ion conductive additive.
[0109] The negative electrode coating layer (220) may have a smaller thickness than the positive electrode active material layer (120). The thickness of the negative electrode coating layer (220) may be, for example, 50% or less, 40% or less, 30% or less, 20% or less, 10% or less, or 5% or less of the thickness of the positive electrode active material layer (120). The thickness of the negative electrode coating layer (220) may be, for example, 1 um to 20 um, 2 um to 10 um, or 3 um to 7 um. If the thickness of the negative electrode coating layer (220) is too thin, lithium dendrites formed between the negative electrode coating layer (220) and the negative electrode current collector (210) may cause the negative electrode coating layer (220) to collapse, thereby deteriorating the cycle characteristics of the all-solid-state battery (10). If the thickness of the cathode coating layer (220) increases excessively, the energy density of the all-solid-state battery (10) may decrease and the internal resistance of the all-solid-state battery (10) due to the cathode coating layer (220) may increase, thereby deteriorating the cycle characteristics of the all-solid-state battery (10).
[0110] Meanwhile, although not shown, a carbon layer may be further included to improve adhesion between the cathode coating layer (220) and the solid electrolyte layer (300).
[0111] The solid electrolyte layer (300) of the all-solid-state battery according to the present embodiment can be manufactured using the solid electrolyte slurry described above. In one embodiment, the solid electrolyte layer (300) can be formed by directly coating on the positive electrode layer (100) and / or the negative electrode layer (200), as shown in FIG. 2a. In another embodiment, the solid electrolyte layer (300) can be manufactured in the form of a self-supporting film, as shown in FIG. 2b, and interposed between the positive electrode layer (100) and the negative electrode layer (200).

[0129] Referring to FIG. 3a, as described above, the slurry of Example 1 has the first binder (BID1) uniformly coating the entire surface of the solid electrolyte particles (SEL). In addition, the second binder (BID2) is distributed in a relatively small size and small amount.
[0130] Referring to FIG. 3b, the slurry of Comparative Example 1 may have the first binder (BID1) cover only a portion of the surface of the solid electrolyte particles (SEL). The first binder (BID1) may not uniformly cover the surface of the solid electrolyte particles (SEL). A large amount of the second binder (BID2) may be located between the solid electrolyte particles (SEL). For example, the average size of the second binder (BID2) may be larger than the average particle diameter (D50) of the solid electrolyte particles (SEL).
[0131] Comparing FIGS. 3a and 3b, it can be confirmed that the binder of the slurry of Example 1 is uniformly adsorbed on the surface of the solid electrolyte particles compared to the slurry of Comparative Example 1. In other words, the slurry of Example 1 can have superior dispersibility and phase stability compared to the slurry of Comparative Example 1.
[0132]
[0133] Evaluation Example 2: Measurement of shear viscosity
[0134] The shear viscosity of the slurry of Example 1 and the slurry of Comparative Example 1 was measured using an Anton Paar Rheometer. 10 ml of the slurry was added to the equipment, and the shear viscosity was measured. The results are shown in Fig. 5.
[0135] Referring to Fig. 5, the slurry of Comparative Example 1 was measured to have a ratio of viscosity at a shear rate of 10 (1 / s) to viscosity at 1000 (1 / s), i.e., a TI (Thixotropic Index) of less than 0.2. On the other hand, the slurry of Example 1 was measured to have a TI (Thixotropic Index) of greater than 0.2.
[0136] It was confirmed that the slurry of Comparative Example 1 had a viscosity greater than 1,000 mPa·s at a shear rate of 10 (1 / s). On the other hand, it was confirmed that the slurry of Example 1 had a viscosity less than 1,000 mPa·s at a shear rate of 10 (1 / s).

[0138] Although the slurry of Example 1 and the slurry of Comparative Example 1 have the same solid content, it can be confirmed that the slurry of Example 1 has improved dispersibility and viscosity compared to the slurry of Comparative Example 1.
[0139]

[0141] The slurry of Example 1 was left for one day without stirring. Thereafter, the shear viscosity was measured as in Evaluation Example 2, and the results are shown in Fig. 6a. The slurry of Comparative Example 1 was left for one day without stirring. Thereafter, the shear viscosity was measured as in Evaluation Example 2, and the results are shown in Fig. 6b.
[0142] Referring to Fig. 6a, it can be confirmed that the viscosity of the slurry of Example 1 increased by 59% after being left for one day compared to the viscosity on the day it was manufactured. Referring to Fig. 6b, it can be confirmed that the viscosity of the slurry of Comparative Example 1 increased by 100% after being left for one day compared to the viscosity on the day it was manufactured.
[0143] It was confirmed that the slurry of Example 1 had better phase stability than the slurry of Comparative Example 1.
[0144]
[0145] Evaluation Example 4: FOG Gauge Evaluation
[0146] The fineness of the slurries of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 was measured using the Fineness (FOG) test method (ELCOMETER Grind Gauge (2020M002)). Fineness is the reading obtained from a particle sizer under specific conditions. Fineness refers to the size of the largest particles in the final dispersion, not the average particle size or particle density.
[0147] To conduct the FOG test, a small amount of slurry sample was placed at the end of the gauge, and a scraper was attached perpendicularly to the gauge. The scraper was pulled along the gauge at a constant speed to scrape it. The FOG gauge evaluation results for the slurry of Example 1 are shown in Figure 7a, and the FOG gauge evaluation results for the slurry of Comparative Example 1 are shown in Figure 7b.
[0148] Referring to Fig. 7a, it can be confirmed that the slurry of Example 1 has a fineness of about 6 μm. Referring to Fig. 7b, it can be confirmed that the slurry of Comparative Example 1 has a fineness of about 6 μm. Consequently, it can be confirmed that the slurry of Example 1 has better dispersibility than the slurry of Comparative Example 1.
[0149]
[0150] Evaluation Example 5: TOF-SIMS Analysis of Slurry
[0151] TOF-SIMS analysis was performed on the slurry of Example 1. ION-TOF's TOF.SIMS-5 was used for TOF-SIMS analysis. The TOF-SIMS analysis results are shown in Fig. 8a. TOF-SIMS analysis was performed on the slurry of Comparative Example 1, and the results are shown in Fig. 8b.
[0152] Referring to FIGS. 8a and 8b, the Cl mapping results show that the distribution of Example 1 is superior to that of Comparative Example 1. In other words, it can be confirmed that the distribution of the solid electrolyte in the slurry of Example 1 is superior to that of Comparative Example 1.
[0153] Looking at the CN mapping results, it can be confirmed that the distribution of Example 1 is superior to that of Comparative Example 1. In other words, it can be confirmed that the distribution of the binder in the slurry of Example 1 is superior to that of Comparative Example 1.
[0154]
[0155] Evaluation Example 6: Evaluation of Adhesion of Solid Electrolyte Layer
[0156] A solid electrolyte layer was prepared by directly coating the slurry of Example 1 onto the cathode. The surface of the solid electrolyte layer was attached to a slide glass with double-sided tape. The remaining unattached portion of the slide glass was fastened to a tensile strength tester (Shimadzu). The slide glass was lifted by the tensile strength tester within a stroke range of 0 mm to 35 mm. The average value of the data in the range of 10 mm to 30 mm was calculated. The calculated average value (gf) was divided by the width of the slide glass (26 mm) to convert it to gf / mm. The adhesive strength was measured for three samples.
[0157] The slurry of Comparative Example 1 was also evaluated for adhesive strength using the same method as described above. The results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 are shown in Fig. 9.
[0158] Referring to Fig. 9, in the case of Example 1, the average value of the three samples was 0.643 gf / mm. In the case of Comparative Example 1, the average value of the three samples was 0.094 gf / mm. That is, it can be confirmed that the solid electrolyte layer manufactured with the slurry of Example 1 has better adhesive strength than the solid electrolyte layer manufactured with the slurry of Comparative Example 1.
