Abstract

The main object of the present invention is to provide a sulfide solid electrolyte material with high Li ion conductivity. The present invention solves the problem by providing a sulfide solid electrolyte material comprising an ion conductor with an ortho-composition, and LiI, characterized in that the sulfide solid electrolyte material is glass with a glass transition point.

Claims

1. A sulfide solid electrolyte material comprising an ion conductor having an anion structure of an ortho-composition with a ratio of 70 mol % or more to all anion structures, and LiI,

wherein the sulfide solid electrolyte material is glass with a glass transition point,

the ion conductor contains Li, X (X is P, Si, Al or B), and S, and a content of the LiI is within a range of 10 mol % to 30 mol %.

2. The sulfide solid electrolyte material according to claim 1, wherein the ion conductor contains Li, P, and S.

3. A lithium solid state battery comprising a cathode active material layer containing a cathode active material, an anode active material layer containing an anode active material, and a solid electrolyte layer formed between the cathode active material layer and the anode active material layer,

wherein the cathode active material layer contains the cathode active material with an electric potential of 2.8 V (vs Li) or more, and a sulfide solid electrolyte material of claim 1.
