A sulfide solid electrolyte with an argyrodite type crystal structure has, for example, a composition represented by Li6PS5I. Also, in order to improve resistant to oxidation, a sulfide solid electrolyte in which P is substituted with Ge and Sb has been studied. Meanwhile, in the sulfide solid electrolyte with an argyrodite type crystal structure, when a proportion of I (iodine) is increased, the argyrodite type crystal structure may not be maintained although the water resistance of the sulfide solid electrolyte may be easily improved.
The present disclosure has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a main object thereof is to provide a sulfide solid electrolyte including water resistance while maintaining an argyrodite type crystal structure.
In order to achieve the object, the present disclosure provides a sulfide solid electrolyte with an argyrodite type crystal phase; and containing Li, Ge, Sb, S, I, and A, the A is an anion with ionic radius larger than that of a sulfide ion.
According to the present disclosure, the A anion is included, and thus a sulfide solid electrolyte including water resistance while maintaining an argyrodite type crystal structure may be achieved. Further, according to the present disclosure, as a cation, the sulfide solid electrolyte contains Ge and Sb of which resistant to oxidation is better than that of P, and thus a sulfide solid electrolyte with resistant to oxidation may be achieved.
In the disclosure, the sulfide solid electrolyte may not contain P.
In the disclosure, the sulfide solid electrolyte may contain P, and a proportion of P with respect to a total of Ge, Sb, and P may be 50 mol % or less.
In the disclosure, the A may include a polyatomic anion with a plurality of O.
In the disclosure, the polyatomic anion may include C, S, or N as a cation.
In the disclosure, the A may include at least one of a carbonate ion CO32− and a sulfate ion SO42−.

The present disclosure also provides a solid state battery including a cathode layer, an anode layer, and a solid electrolyte layer formed between the cathode layer and the anode layer, wherein at least one of the cathode layer, the anode layer, and the solid electrolyte layer contains the above described sulfide solid electrolyte.
According to the present disclosure, the above described sulfide solid electrolyte is used, and thus the solid state battery may have water resistance.
The sulfide solid electrolyte in the present disclosure exhibits an effect of water resistance while maintaining an argyrodite type crystal structure.
The sulfide solid electrolyte and the solid state battery in the present disclosure will be hereinafter explained in details.
The sulfide solid electrolyte in the present disclosure has an argyrodite type crystal phase, and contains Li, Ge, Sb, S, I, and A, the A is an anion with ionic radius larger than that of a sulfide ion.
According to the present disclosure, the A anion is included, and thus a sulfide solid electrolyte including water resistance while maintaining an argyrodite type crystal structure may be achieved. Here, a typical composition of the sulfide solid electrolyte with the argyrodite type crystal structure is 2Li2S—Li3PS4 (=Li7PS6). In this composition, the sulfide ion (S2−) included in Li2S easily reacts with water unlike the sulfide ion (sulfide ion that forms P—S bond) included in Li3PS4. For this reason, substitution of a part of Li2S with LiI has been tried.
For example, the sulfide solid electrolyte having a composition represented by Li6PS5I corresponds to “a”=1 in (2-a)Li2S-aLiI-Li3PS4. Meanwhile, in order to improve resistance to oxidation, a sulfide solid electrolyte in which P is substituted with Ge and Sb has been studied. Such a sulfide solid electrolyte is represented by, for example, (2-a)Li2S-aLiI-Li4(Ge,Sb)S4 (0<a<2). From the viewpoint of improving the water resistance of the sulfide solid electrolyte, increasing the proportion “a” of I (LiI) is effective. However, if the proportion of I is increased, the argyrodite type crystal structure may not be maintained. In contrast, in the present disclosure, in addition to I ions, by using the A anion having an ionic radius larger than that of the sulfide ion, the proportion of the sulfide ion (S2−) included in Li2S may be reduced while maintaining the argyrodite type crystal structure. As a result, a sulfide solid electrolyte with water resistance is obtained. Further, in the present disclosure, the sulfide solid electrolyte contains, as a cation, Ge and Sb that have more resistance to oxidation compared to that of P, and thus the sulfide solid electrolyte may have resistance to oxidation.
The sulfide solid electrolyte in the present disclosure has an argyrodite type crystal phase. Whether the sulfide solid electrolyte has the argyrodite type crystal phase can be confirmed by an X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement. In some embodiments, the sulfide solid electrolyte has peaks at 2θ=17.0°±0.5°, 24.1°±0.5°, 28.3°±0.5°, 29.6°±0.5°, and 38.6°±0.5° in an XRD measurement using a CuKα ray. These peaks are typical peaks of the argyrodite type crystal phase. Each of these peaks may shift in the range of ±0.3°, and may shift in the range of ±0.1°.
In some embodiments, the sulfide solid electrolyte has the argyrodite crystal phase as a main phase. The “main phase” refers to a crystal phase belonging to the peak with the highest intensity in the XRD measurement using a CuKα ray. Also, in the XRD measurement using a CuKα ray to the sulfide solid electrolyte, a peak of LiI may or may not be observed.
The sulfide solid electrolyte in the present disclosure contains Li, Ge, Sb, S, I, and A, the A is an anion with ionic radius larger than that of a sulfide ion. The sulfide solid electrolyte contains, as a cation, at least Li, Ge, and Sb. The sulfide solid electrolyte may contain just Li, Ge, and Sb as the cation, and may further contain additional cation. Examples of the additional cation may include P. In the sulfide solid electrolyte, a total proportion of Ge and Sb with respect to all the cations excluding Li is, for example, 50 mol % or more, may be 70 mol % or more, may be 90 mol % or more, and may be 100 mol % or more. Also, the proportion of Ge with respect to a total of Ge and Sb is, for example, 1 mol % or more and 99 mol % or less, and may be 20 mol % or more and 80 mol % or less.
In some embodiments, the sulfide solid electrolyte does not contain P. The reason therefor is to obtain a sulfide solid electrolyte with resistance to oxidation. Meanwhile, the sulfide solid electrolyte may contain P. The reason therefor is to easily precipitate the argyrodite type crystal phase. The proportion of P with respect to a total of Ge, Sb and P is, for example, 50 mol % or less, may be 30 mol % or less, and may be 10 mol % or less. Meanwhile, the proportion of P is, for example, 1 mol % or more, and may be 5 mol % or more.
The sulfide solid electrolyte contains, as an anion, at least S, I, and A. The A is an anion with ionic radius larger than that of a sulfide ion. Also, the A is an anion other than an iodide ion (I−). The sulfide solid electrolyte may contain just one kind of the anion corresponding to the A, and may contain two kinds or more thereof.
The A is, for example, a polyatomic anion. In some embodiments, the polyatomic anion includes, for example, a plurality of O. The ionic radius of an oxide ion (O2−) alone is 140 μm, which is smaller than the ionic radius (184 μm) of a sulfide ion (S2−). Meanwhile, a polyatomic anion with a plurality of O is usually larger than the ionic radius of the sulfide ion (S2−).
The polyatomic anion may include C, S, or N as a cation. Examples of the polyatomic anion with C may include a carbonate ion (CO32−) and a hydrogen carbonate ion (HCO3−). Examples of the polyatomic anion with S may include a sulfate ion (SO42−) and a sulfite ion (SO32−). Examples of the polyatomic anion with N may include a nitrate ion (NO3−) and a nitrite ion (NO2−).
The A may be a monoatomic anion. Typical examples of the monoatomic anion may include a halide ion (excluding an iodide ion). Under consideration of a fluoride ion (136 μm), a chloride ion (181 μm), and a bromide ion (195 μm), the monoatomic anion typically corresponding to the A may be the bromide ion.
The sulfide solid electrolyte may contain, as the anion, just S, I, and A, and may contain an additional anion thereto. Examples of the additional anion may include Cl. The total proportion of S, I and A with respect to all the anions in the sulfide solid electrolyte is, for example, 50 mol % or more, may be 70 mol % or more, may be 90 mol % or more, and may be 100 mol %. Also, the proportion (molar ratio) of the A with respect to I is, for example, 0.4 or more and may be 0.6 or more. Meanwhile, the proportion (molar ratio) of the A with respect to I is, for example, 1.2 or less, may be 1.0 or less, and may be 0.8 or less.
In some embodiments, the sulfide solid electrolyte has a composition represented by (2-a-b)Li2S-aLiI-bLiαA-Li4(Ge,Sb)S4. In this composition, “a” satisfies 0<a<2, “b” satisfies 0<b<2, and “a” and “b” satisfy 0<a+b<2.
The “a” is usually larger than 0, may be 0.4 or more, and may be 0.8 or more. The “a” is usually smaller than 2, may be 1.6 or less, and may be 1.2 or less. Also, the “b” is usually larger than 0, may be 0.2 or more, and may be 0.4 or more. Meanwhile, the “b” is usually smaller than 2, may be 1.2 or less, and may be 1.0 or less. Also, the “a” and the “b” are usually larger than 0, may be 0.5 or more, may be 1.0 or more, and may be 1.5 or more. Meanwhile, the “a” and the “b” are usually smaller than 2, may be 1.95 or less, and may be 1.9 or less.
Also, in the composition, the α is a value corresponding to the valence of the A. For example, when the A is a carbonate ion (CO32−), the α is 2 (Li2CO3). For example, when the A is a bromide ion (Br−), the α is 1 (LiBr). Also, in the composition, a part of Ge or Sb may be substituted with P.
The sulfide solid electrolyte in the present disclosure has high water resistance. The generation amount of H2S in the later described water resistance test is, for example, 25 ppm/h or less, may be 20 ppm/h or less, and may be 10 ppm/h or less. In some embodiments, the sulfide solid electrolyte has high ion conductivity. The ion conductivity at 25° C. is, for example, 1*10−4 S/cm or more, and may be 5*10−4 S/cm or more.
Examples of the shape of the sulfide solid electrolyte may include a granular shape. Also, the average particle size (D50) of the sulfide solid electrolyte is, for example, 0.1 μm or more and 50 μm or less. The average particle size (D50) can be obtained from a result of a particle distribution measurement by a laser diffraction scattering method.

An X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement using a CuKα ray was respectively conducted to the sulfide solid electrolytes obtained in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6. As representative results, results of Example 1, and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 are respectively shown in
Water resistance tests were conducted to the sulfide solid electrolytes obtained in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6. In specific, a desiccator of 1.5 L was put in a dry air globe box with a dew point of −30° C., an Al container including 2 g of the sulfide solid electrolyte was placed in the desiccator, a cover of the desiccator was closed, and the container was placed still for 1 hour with a fan running. On that occasion, H2S generated was measured by a sensor, and the generation amount per hour was calculated. The results are shown in Table 1.
Ion conductivity measurements (25° C.) were respectively conducted to the sulfide solid electrolytes obtained in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6. In specific, 100 mg powder of the obtained sulfide solid electrolyte was put in a ceramic cylinder with current collectors, and pressed at the pressure of 6 ton/cm2 to produce a pressure powder cell. The produced pressure powder cell was subjected to an A.C. impedance method at a room temperature, and the ion conductivity was obtained from the resistance value and the thickness of the pellet. The results are shown in Table 1.
As shown in Table 1, it was confirmed that the H2S amounts of Examples 1 to 4 were remarkably lower than those of Comparative Example 1, although the conductivity was low. This is presumably because the sulfide solid electrolytes obtained in Examples 1 to 4 did not contain a P element. Also, the H2S amounts of Examples 1 to 4 were lower than those of Comparative Example 2. This is presumably because the sulfide solid electrolytes obtained in Examples 1 to 4 contained the A anion of which ionic radius is larger than that of the sulfide ion, and thus the amount S isolated was low.
Here, as shown in Comparative Examples 3 to 4, when the proportion of the first anion is increased, the sulfide solid electrolyte with the argyrodite type crystal phase is not easily obtained. Also, as shown in Comparative Example 5, as the second anion, also when a Cl ion (ion with smaller ionic radius than that of the sulfide ion) is used, the sulfide solid electrolyte with the argyrodite type crystal phase was not obtained. Also, as shown in Comparative Example 6, when the I ion, which is the first anion was not used, and the proportion of CO3 ion which is the second anion was increased, the sulfide solid electrolyte with the argyrodite type crystal phase was not obtained. In contrast, in Examples 1 to 4, the I ion was used as the first anion, and further the A anion was used as the second anion, and thus the water resistance improved while maintaining the argyrodite type crystal phase.
