| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The mass synthesis of Li10MP2S12 (M=Si, Ge, Sn, P) solid electrolytes was investigated, and conditions were established to obtain high-quality Li10GeP2S12 crystalline phases of about 5 g in a single synthesis by a thermal treatment process under argon gas flow. It was also verified that the dissolution and deposition process of Li10GeP2S12 material. As a result, it was found that several issues need to be solved to make the requirements compatible with existing battery fabrication processes. The construction of a high energy density cathode with increased sulfur content in a cathode composite consisting of sulfur-carbon-solid electrolyte was demonstrated. The effects of carbon and solid electrolyte particle sizes used in the composite and various additives on battery performance were also examined. Optimization of the variable parameters improved the utilization of sulfur-active material and enhanced the cycle characteristics.
