AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for manufacturing lithium sulfide suffer from insufficient purification due to sulfur loss during solvent extraction, leading to impurities that reduce ion conductivity when used in battery materials.
A method involving thermal reduction of a lithium raw material with carbon, followed by solvent extraction with an optimal solvent, and additional sulfur replenishment, along with controlled heat treatment to achieve specific NMR peak ratios, ensuring optimal impurity levels and ion conductivity.
The method produces high-purity lithium sulfide with controlled impurity levels, enhancing ion conductivity and yield, suitable for use in all-solid-state batteries.
