METHOD OF PRODUCING A SULFIDE SOLID ELECTROLYTE MATERIAL, SULFIDE SOLID ELECTROLYTE MATERIAL, AND LITHIUM BATTERY
First Claim
1. A method of producing a sulfide solid electrolyte material, comprising:
- forming an intermediate having crosslinking sulfur but no Li2S, by vitrifying, in a first vitrification process, a starting material composition obtained by mixing Li2S and a sulfide of a group 14 or group 15 element such that a proportion of Li2S with respect to the sum total of the Li2S and the sulfide of the group 14 or group 15 element is smaller than a proportion of Li2S required for said sulfide solid electrolyte material to obtain an ortho composition; and
eliminating said crosslinking sulfur by vitrifying, in a second vitrification process, an intermediate-containing composition resulting from mixing a bond cleaving compound, which cleaves a bond of said crosslinking sulfur, with said intermediate.
