[0039] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the present invention. The present invention may be implemented in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.
[0040] Additionally, throughout the specification, whenever a part is said to "include" a component, this does not mean that it excludes other components, but rather that it may include other components, unless otherwise specifically stated.
[0041] To clearly illustrate various layers and regions in the drawings, their thicknesses are enlarged, and similar parts are designated by the same drawing reference numerals throughout the specification. When an element such as a layer, film, region, or plate is said to be "over" or "on" another element, this includes not only the case where it is "directly over" the other element, but also the case where there are other elements in between. Conversely, when an element is said to be "directly over" another element, it means that there are no other elements in between.
[0042] Furthermore, the term "layer" here includes not only shapes formed on the entire surface when observed in a plan view, but also shapes formed on a portion of the surface. Here, "or" is not interpreted in an exclusive sense; for example, "A or B" is interpreted to include A, B, A+B, etc.

However, without limitation thereto, the positive electrode for an all-solid-state secondary battery may include more or less components than the components described above.
[0045] In one embodiment, a positive electrode for an all-solid-state secondary battery is manufactured by applying a positive electrode composition including at least one of a positive electrode active material, a sulfide-based solid electrolyte, a binder, and a conductive material to a current collecting layer, followed by drying and rolling.

[0084] The average particle diameter (D50) of the positive electrode active material may be 1 μm to 25 μm, for example, 3 μm to 25 μm, 5 μm to 25 μm, 5 μm to 20 μm, 8 μm to 20 μm, or 10 μm to 18 μm. A positive electrode active material having such a particle diameter range can be harmoniously mixed with other components within the positive electrode active material layer and can realize high capacity and high energy density.
[0085] The above-mentioned positive electrode active material may be in the form of a secondary particle formed by agglomeration of a plurality of primary particles, or may be in the form of a single particle. In addition, the above-mentioned positive electrode active material may be spherical or nearly spherical in shape, or may be polyhedral or irregular in shape.
[0086] Sulfide-based solid electrolyte
[0087] Sulfide-based solid electrolytes include, for example, Li2S-P2S5, Li2S-P2S5--LiX (where X is a halogen element, for example, I or Cl), 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 integers, Z is Ge, Zn or Ga), Li2S-GeS2, Li2S-SiS2-Li3PO4, Li2S-SiS2-Li p MO q (p, q are integers, and M is P, Si, Ge, B, Al, Ga or In), or a combination thereof.
[0088] Such sulfide-based solid electrolytes can be obtained, for example, by mixing Li2S and P2S5 in a molar ratio of 50:50 to 90:10, or 50:50 to 80:20, and optionally heat-treating them. Within the above mixing ratio range, a sulfide-based solid electrolyte having excellent ionic conductivity can be produced. Here, the ionic conductivity can be further improved by further including other components such as SiS2, GeS2, and B2S3.
[0089] Methods for mixing sulfur-containing raw materials for producing sulfide-based solid electrolytes include mechanical milling or the solution method. Mechanical milling involves placing the starting raw materials in a reactor and vigorously stirring them with a ball mill or similar device to finely atomize and mix them. Using the solution method, the starting raw materials are mixed in a solvent to obtain a solid electrolyte as a precipitate. Furthermore, heat treatment after mixing can solidify the crystals of the solid electrolyte and improve ionic conductivity. For example, a sulfide-based solid electrolyte can be produced by mixing sulfur-containing raw materials and heat-treating them twice or more, resulting in a sulfide-based solid electrolyte with high ionic conductivity and robustness.
[0090] For example, the sulfide-based solid electrolyte particles may include argyrodite-type sulfides. The argyrodite-type sulfides may include, for example, Li a M b P c S d A e (wherein a, b, c, d and e are all 0 or more and 12 or less, M is a metal other than Li or a combination of multiple metals other than Li, and A is F, Cl, Br, or I) and a specific example is Li 7-x PS 6-x A x(x is 0.2 or more and 1.8 or less, and A is F, Cl, Br, or I) can be expressed by the chemical formula. The above argyrodite-type sulfide is specifically Li3PS4, Li7P3S 11 , Li7PS6, Li6PS5Cl, Li6PS5Br, Li 5.8 PS 4.8 Cl 1.2 , Li 6.2 PS 5.2 Br 0.8 It could be the back.
[0091] Sulfide-based solid electrolyte particles containing these argyrodite-type sulfides have an ionic conductivity of 10, which is the ionic conductivity of a typical liquid electrolyte at room temperature. -4 10 inland -2 It has a high ionic conductivity approaching the S / cm range, can form a close bond between a positive electrode active material and a solid electrolyte without causing a decrease in ionic conductivity, and can further form a close interface between an electrode layer and a solid electrolyte layer. An all-solid-state battery including this can have improved battery performance, such as rate characteristics, Coulombic efficiency, and cycle life characteristics.
[0092] An argyrodite-type sulfide-based solid electrolyte can be prepared, for example, by mixing lithium sulfide, phosphorus sulfide, and optionally, a lithium halide. After mixing, a heat treatment may be performed. The heat treatment may include, for example, two or more heat treatment steps.
[0093] According to one embodiment, the average particle diameter (D50) of the sulfide-based solid electrolyte particles may be 5.0 ㎛ or less, for example, 0.1 ㎛ to 5.0 ㎛, 0.1 ㎛ to 4.0 ㎛, 0.1 ㎛ to 3.0 ㎛, 0.5 ㎛ to 2.0 ㎛, or 0.1 ㎛ to 1.5 ㎛. Alternatively, the sulfide-based solid electrolyte particles may be small particles having an average particle diameter (D50) of 0.1 ㎛ to 1.0 ㎛, or may be large particles having an average particle diameter (D50) of 1.5 ㎛ to 5.0 ㎛, depending on the location or purpose of use. The sulfide-based solid electrolyte particles having such a particle diameter range can effectively penetrate between solid particles in a battery, and have excellent contact with an electrode active material and connectivity between solid electrolyte particles. The average particle size of the sulfide-based solid electrolyte particles may be measured from a microscope image, for example, by measuring the sizes of about 20 particles in a scanning electron microscope image to obtain a particle size distribution and calculating D50 from this.
[0094] The content of the solid electrolyte in the positive electrode for the all-solid-state battery may be 0.5 wt% to 35 wt%, for example, 1 wt% to 35 wt%, 5 wt% to 30 wt%, 8 wt% to 25 wt%, or 10 wt% to 20 wt%. This is the content relative to the total weight of components in the positive electrode, and specifically, it can be said to be the content relative to the total weight of the positive electrode active material layer.
[0095] In one embodiment, the positive electrode active material layer may include 50 wt% to 99.35 wt% of the positive electrode active material, 0.5 wt% to 35 wt% of the sulfide-based solid electrolyte, 0.1 wt% to 10 wt% of the fluorine-based resin binder, and 0.05 wt% to 5 wt% of the vanadium oxide, based on 100 wt% of the positive electrode active material layer. When the above content ranges are satisfied, the positive electrode for an all-solid-state secondary battery can maintain high adhesiveness while implementing high capacity and high ionic conductivity, and the viscosity of the positive electrode composition can be maintained at an appropriate level, thereby improving processability.
[0096] bookbinder
[0097] The binder serves to adhere the positive electrode active material particles well to each other and also to adhere the positive electrode active material well to the current collector, and representative examples thereof include, but are not limited to, polyvinyl alcohol, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, diacetyl cellulose, polyvinyl chloride, carboxylated polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl fluoride, polymers containing ethylene oxide, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyurethane, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyethylene, polypropylene, styrene-butadiene rubber, acrylated styrene-butadiene rubber, epoxy resin, nylon, etc.
[0098] Challenge
[0099] The above-described positive electrode active material layer may further include a conductive material. The conductive material is used to impart conductivity to the electrode, and may include, for example, carbon-based materials such as natural graphite, artificial graphite, carbon black, acetylene black, Ketjen black, carbon fibers, and carbon nanotubes; metal-based materials containing copper, nickel, aluminum, silver, and the like in the form of metal powder or metal fibers; conductive polymers such as polyphenylene derivatives; or combinations thereof.
[0100] The conductive material may be included in an amount of 0.1 wt% to 5 wt%, or 0.1 wt% to 3 wt%, based on the total weight of each component of the positive electrode for the all-solid-state battery, or based on the total weight of the positive electrode active material layer. Within the above content range, the conductive material can improve electrical conductivity without degrading battery performance.
[0101] When the positive electrode active material layer further includes a conductive material, the positive electrode active material layer may include 45 wt% to 99.25 wt% of the positive electrode active material, 0.5 wt% to 35 wt% of the sulfide-based solid electrolyte, 0.1 wt% to 10 wt% of the fluorine-based resin binder, 0.05 wt% to 5 wt% of the vanadium oxide, and 0.1 wt% to 5 wt% of the conductive material, based on 100 wt% of the positive electrode active material layer.
[0102] Meanwhile, the positive electrode for the lithium secondary battery may further include an oxide-based inorganic solid electrolyte in addition to the above-described solid electrolyte. The oxide-based inorganic solid electrolyte may be, for example, Li 1+x Ti 2-x Al(PO4)3(LTAP)(0≤x≤4), Li 1+x+y Al x Ti 2-x Si y P 3-y O 12 (0 <x<2, 0≤y<3), BaTiO3, Pb(Zr,Ti)O3(PZT), Pb 1-x La x Zr 1-y Ti y O3(PLZT)(0≤x<1, 0≤y<1), PB(Mg3Nb 2 / 3 )O3-PbTiO3(PMN-PT), HfO2, SrTiO3, SnO2, CeO2, Na2O, MgO, NiO, CaO, BaO, ZnO, ZrO2, Y2O3, Al2O3, TiO2, SiO2, lithium phosphate (Li3PO4), lithium titanium phosphate (Li x Ti y(PO4)3, 0 <x<2, 0<y<3), Li 1+x+y (Al, Ga) x (Ti, Ge) 2-x Si y P 3-y O 12 (0≤x≤1, 0≤y≤1), lithium lanthanum titanate (Li x La y TiO3, 0 <x<2, 0<y<3), Li2O, LiAlO2, Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2-P2O5-TiO2-GeO2계 세라믹스, 가넷(Garnet)계 세라믹스 Li 3+x La3M2O 12 (M= Te, Nb, or Zr; x is an integer from 1 to 10), or a combination thereof.

[0104] In one embodiment, an all-solid-state secondary battery is provided, which includes the aforementioned positive electrode, negative electrode, and a solid electrolyte layer positioned between the positive electrode and negative electrode. The all-solid-state secondary battery may also be referred to as an all-solid-state battery or an all-solid-state lithium secondary battery.

The all-solid-state battery (SB) may further include an elastic layer (50) on the outer side of at least one of the positive electrode (20) and the negative electrode (40). Although FIG. 1 illustrates one electrode assembly including a negative electrode (40), a solid electrolyte layer (30), and a positive electrode (20), an all-solid-state battery may be manufactured by laminating two or more electrode assemblies.

[0108] An anode for an all-solid-state battery may include, for example, a current collecting layer and a negative electrode active material layer positioned on the current collecting layer.

[0113] The silicon-carbon composite may be, for example, a silicon-carbon composite including a core comprising crystalline carbon and silicon particles and an amorphous carbon coating layer positioned on the surface of the core. The crystalline carbon may be artificial graphite, natural graphite, or a combination thereof. As the amorphous carbon precursor, coal pitch, mesophase pitch, petroleum pitch, coal oil, petroleum heavy oil, or a polymer resin such as a phenol resin, a furan resin, or a polyimide resin may be used.

The silicon particles are SiO x It can be a particle, in which case SiO x In the range of x, it can be greater than 0 and less than or equal to 2. Here, the average particle diameter (D50) is measured by a particle size analyzer using laser diffraction and means the diameter of particles having a cumulative volume of 50% by volume in the particle size distribution.
[0115] The Si-based negative electrode active material or Sn-based negative electrode active material can be used in combination with a carbon-based negative electrode active material. The mixing ratio of the Si-based negative electrode active material or Sn-based negative electrode active material and the carbon-based negative electrode active material can be 1:99 to 90:10 by weight.
[0116] The content of the negative active material in the negative active material layer may be 95 wt% to 99 wt% with respect to the total weight of the negative active material layer.
[0117] In one embodiment, the negative electrode active material layer further includes a binder and may optionally further include a conductive material. The content of the binder in the negative electrode active material layer may be 1 wt% to 5 wt% based on the total weight of the negative electrode active material layer. In addition, when the negative electrode active material layer further includes a conductive material, the negative electrode active material layer may include 90 wt% to 98 wt% of the negative electrode active material, 1 wt% to 5 wt% of the binder, and 1 wt% to 5 wt% of the conductive material.
[0118] The above binder serves to adhere the negative electrode active material particles well to each other and also to adhere the negative electrode active material well to the current collecting layer. The binder may include an insoluble binder, a water-soluble binder, or a combination thereof.
[0119] The above-described non-aqueous binder may include, for example, polyvinyl chloride, carboxylated polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl fluoride, a polymer comprising ethylene oxide, an ethylene propylene copolymer, polystyrene, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyurethane, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamideimide, polyimide, or a combination thereof.

[0121] When a water-soluble binder is used as the negative electrode binder, a thickener capable of imparting viscosity may be used together, and the thickener may include, for example, a cellulose-based compound. The cellulose-based compound may include carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, an alkali metal salt thereof, or a combination thereof. Na, K, or Li may be used as the alkali metal. The amount of the thickener used may be 0.1 to 3 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the negative electrode active material.
[0122] The conductive material is used to provide conductivity to the electrode, and may include, for example, carbon-based materials such as natural graphite, artificial graphite, carbon black, acetylene black, Ketjen black, carbon fibers, and carbon nanotubes; metal-based materials in the form of metal powder or metal fibers, including copper, nickel, aluminum, and silver; conductive polymers such as polyphenylene derivatives; or mixtures thereof.
[0123] The cathode current collecting layer may be selected from copper foil, nickel foil, stainless steel foil, titanium foil, nickel foam, copper foam, a polymer substrate coated with a conductive metal, and a combination thereof.
[0124] As another example, the negative electrode for the all-solid-state battery may be a precipitation-type negative electrode. The precipitation-type negative electrode refers to a negative electrode that does not include a negative electrode active material when the battery is assembled, but in which lithium metal or the like is precipitated when the battery is charged, and this acts as a negative electrode active material.
[0125] Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of an all-solid-state battery including a precipitated negative electrode.
[0126] Referring to FIG. 2, the precipitation-type negative electrode (40') of the all-solid-state battery (SB) may include a current collecting layer (41) and a negative electrode coating layer (45) positioned on the current collecting layer (41). The all-solid-state battery having such a precipitation-type negative electrode (40') starts initial charging in a state in which no negative electrode active material is present, and when charging, high-density lithium metal or the like is precipitated between the current collecting layer (41) and the negative electrode coating layer (45) to form a lithium metal layer (44), which may function as the negative electrode active material. Accordingly, in the all-solid-state battery that has been charged more than once, the precipitation-type negative electrode (40') may include a current collecting layer (41), a lithium metal layer (44) positioned on the current collecting layer (41), and a negative electrode coating layer (45) positioned on the metal layer. The lithium metal layer (44) refers to a layer in which lithium metal, etc. is precipitated during the charging process of the battery, and may be referred to as a metal layer or a negative electrode active material layer.
[0127] The cathode coating layer (45) may include a metal, carbon material, or a combination thereof that acts as a catalyst.
[0128] The metal may include, for example, gold, platinum, palladium, silicon, silver, aluminum, bismuth, tin, zinc, or a combination thereof, and may be composed of one of these or an alloy of several types. When the metal is present in the form of particles, the average particle diameter (D50) may be about 4 μm or less, for example, 10 nm to 4 μm.
[0129] The carbon material may be, for example, crystalline carbon, amorphous carbon, or a combination thereof. The crystalline carbon may be, for example, natural graphite, artificial graphite, mesophase carbon microbeads, or a combination thereof. The amorphous carbon may be, for example, carbon black, activated carbon, acetylene black, Denka black, Ketjen black, or a combination thereof.
[0130] When the cathode coating layer (45) includes both metal and carbon material, the mixing ratio of the metal and carbon material may be, for example, a weight ratio of 1:10 to 2:1. In this case, the precipitation of lithium metal can be effectively promoted and the characteristics of the all-solid-state battery can be improved. The cathode coating layer (45) may include, for example, a carbon material supported with a catalytic metal, or may include a mixture of metal particles and carbon material particles.
[0131] The cathode coating layer (45) may include, for example, a metal and amorphous carbon, in which case the precipitation of lithium metal can be effectively promoted.
[0132] The cathode coating layer (45) may further include a binder, and the binder may be a conductive binder. In addition, the cathode coating layer (45) may further include general additives such as fillers, dispersants, and ionic conductive agents.
[0133] The thickness of the cathode coating layer (45) may be, for example, 100 nm to 20 ㎛, or 500 nm to 10 ㎛, or 1 ㎛ to 5 ㎛.
[0134] The precipitation-type negative electrode (40') may further include, for example, a thin film on the surface of the current collecting layer (41), that is, between the current collecting layer (41) and the negative electrode coating layer (45). The thin film may include an element capable of forming an alloy with lithium. The element capable of forming an alloy with lithium may be, for example, gold, silver, zinc, tin, indium, silicon, aluminum, bismuth, etc., and may be composed of one type thereof or may be composed of multiple types of alloys. The thin film may further flatten the precipitation form of the lithium metal layer (44) and further improve the characteristics of the all-solid-state battery. The thin film may be formed by, for example, a vacuum deposition method, a sputtering method, a plating method, etc. The thickness of the thin film may be, for example, 1 nm to 500 nm.
[0135] solid electrolyte layer
[0136] The solid electrolyte layer (30) may include a sulfide-based solid electrolyte, an oxide-based solid electrolyte, etc. The specific details of the sulfide-based solid electrolyte and the oxide-based solid electrolyte are as described above.
[0137] In one example, the solid electrolyte included in the positive electrode (20) and the solid electrolyte included in the solid electrolyte layer (30) may include the same compound or different compounds. For example, when both the positive electrode (20) and the solid electrolyte layer (30) include an argyrodite-type sulfide-based solid electrolyte, the overall performance of the all-solid-state secondary battery may be improved. In addition, for example, when both the positive electrode (20) and the solid electrolyte layer (30) include the above-described coated solid electrolyte, the all-solid-state secondary battery may implement high capacity and high energy density while implementing excellent initial efficiency and lifespan characteristics.
[0138] Meanwhile, the average particle diameter (D50) of the solid electrolyte included in the positive electrode (20) may be smaller than the average particle diameter (D50) of the solid electrolyte included in the solid electrolyte layer (30). In this case, the energy density of the all-solid-state battery can be maximized while increasing the mobility of lithium ions, thereby improving the overall performance. For example, the average particle diameter (D50) of the solid electrolyte included in the positive electrode (20) may be 0.1 ㎛ to 1.0 ㎛, or 0.1 ㎛ to 0.8 ㎛, and the average particle diameter (D50) of the solid electrolyte included in the solid electrolyte layer (30) may be 1.5 ㎛ to 5.0 ㎛, or 2.0 ㎛ to 4.0 ㎛, or 2.5 ㎛ to 3.5 ㎛. When this particle size range is satisfied, the energy density of the all-solid-state secondary battery can be maximized while lithium ion transport is facilitated, resistance is suppressed, and the overall performance of the all-solid-state secondary battery can be improved. Here, the average particle diameter (D50) of the solid electrolyte can be measured using a particle size analyzer using laser diffraction. Alternatively, the particle size can be measured by selecting 20 or so random particles from a microscope image such as a scanning electron microscope, obtaining a particle size distribution, and calculating the D50 value from this.
[0139] The solid electrolyte layer may further include a binder in addition to the solid electrolyte. The binder may include, but is not limited to, styrene butadiene rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyethylene, an acrylate polymer, or a combination thereof, and any binder used in the art may be used. The acrylate polymer may be, for example, butyl acrylate, polyacrylate, polymethacrylate, or a combination thereof.
[0140] A solid electrolyte layer can be formed by adding a solid electrolyte to a binder solution, coating the solution on a substrate film, and drying the solution. The solvent for the binder solution may be isobutyryl isobutyrate, xylene, toluene, benzene, hexane, or a combination thereof. The solid electrolyte layer formation process is widely known in the art, so a detailed description will be omitted.
[0141] The thickness of the solid electrolyte layer may be, for example, 10 μm to 150 μm.
[0142] The solid electrolyte layer may further include an alkali metal salt, and / or an ionic liquid, and / or a conductive polymer.
[0143] The alkali metal salt may be, for example, a lithium salt. The content of the lithium salt in the solid electrolyte layer may be 1 M or more, for example, 1 M to 4 M. In this case, the lithium salt may improve ionic conductivity by enhancing the mobility of lithium ions in the solid electrolyte layer.
[0144] Lithium salts include, for example, LiSCN, LiN(CN)2, Li(CF3SO2)3C, LiC4F9SO3, LiN(SO2CF2CF3)2, LiCl, LiF, LiBr, LiI, LiB(C2O4)2, LiBF4, LiBF3(C2F5), lithium bis(oxalato)borate (LiBOB), lithium oxalyldifluoroborate (LIODFB), lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiDFOB), lithium bis(trifluoro methanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI, LiN(SO2CF3)2), lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI, It may include LiN(SO2F)2), LiCF3SO3, LiAsF6, LiSbF6, LiClO4 or mixtures thereof.
[0145] Additionally, the lithium salt may be an imide type, for example, the imide type lithium salt may include lithium bis(trifluoro methanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI, LiN(SO2CF3)2), lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI, LiN(SO2F)2). The lithium salt may maintain or improve ionic conductivity by appropriately maintaining chemical reactivity with the ionic liquid.
[0146] Ionic liquids are salts or molten salts that are composed only of ions and are liquid at room temperature, with a melting point below room temperature.
[0147] The ionic liquid may be a compound comprising a) one or more cations selected from ammonium-based, pyrrolidinium-based, pyridinium-based, pyrimidinium-based, imidazolium-based, piperidinium-based, pyrazolium-based, oxazolium-based, pyridazinium-based, phosphonium-based, sulfonium-based, triazolium-based, and mixtures thereof, and b) one or more anions selected from BF4-, PF6-, AsF6-, SbF6-, AlCl4-, HSO4-, ClO4-, CH3SO3-, CF3CO2-, Cl-, Br-, I-, BF4-, SO4-, CF3SO3-, (FSO2)2N-, (C2F5SO2)2N-, (C2F5SO2)(CF3SO2)N-, and (CF3SO2)2N-.
[0148] The ionic liquid may be, for example, one or more selected from the group consisting of N-methyl-N-propylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(3-trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide, and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide.
[0149] In the solid electrolyte layer, the weight ratio of the solid electrolyte and the ionic liquid may be 0.1:99.9 to 90:10, for example, 10:90 to 90:10, 20:80 to 90:10, 30:70 to 90:10, 40:60 to 90:10, or 50:50 to 90:10. A solid electrolyte layer satisfying the above range can maintain or improve ionic conductivity by improving the electrochemical contact area with the electrode. Accordingly, the energy density, discharge capacity, rate characteristics, etc. of the all-solid-state battery can be improved.
[0150] The all-solid-state battery may be a unit cell having a structure of anode / solid electrolyte layer / cathode, a bi-cell having a structure of cathode / solid electrolyte layer / cathode / solid electrolyte layer / cathode, or a laminated battery in which the structure of the unit cell is repeated.
[0151] The shape of the all-solid-state battery is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, coin-shaped, button-shaped, sheet-shaped, stacked, cylindrical, or flat. Furthermore, all-solid-state batteries can be applied to large-scale batteries used in electric vehicles, for example. For example, all-solid-state batteries can be used in hybrid vehicles such as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Furthermore, they can be used in fields requiring large amounts of power storage, such as electric bicycles or power tools.
