A glass-ceramic includes an oxide containing lithium (Li), silicon (Si), and boron (B) and has an X-ray diffraction spectrum with two or more peaks appearing in the range 20&#xb0;&#x2264;2&#x3b8;&#x2264;25&#xb0; and with two or more peaks appearing in the range 25&#xb0;&#x3c;2&#x3b8;&#x2264;30&#xb0;.

Glass-ceramic, lithium ion conductor, battery, electronic device, and method for producing electrode

A battery capable of improving ionic conduction is provided. The battery includes a cathode, an anode, and a solid electrolyte layer. One or more of the cathode, the anode, and the solid electrolyte layer includes a solid electrolyte binder.

Battery and method of manufacturing the same

Crystalline superfine particles capable of emitting light depending upon a time-rate-of-change of a stress and controlled in grain size in the range from 5 nm to 100 nm are complexed with another material such as resin. The crystalline superfine particles are manufactured by using aggregates of molecules, i.e. inverted micelles, which orient hydrophilic groups of surfactant molecules inward and hydrophobic groups outward in a nonpolar solvent and which contain metal ions of a metal for forming the crystalline superfine particles dissolved in water inside the inverted micelles. Alternatively, they are manufactured by using inverted micelles enveloping precursor superfine particles, in which precursor superfine particles are enveloped in water inside the inverted micelles. The crystalline superfine particles are excellent in dispersibility in another material to be complexed, enhanced in emission efficiency and usable to make a transparent stress emission material. The complex material obtained is used to manufacture artificial light-emitting hair structures, artificial light-emitting skin, artificial light-emitting bodies, artificial light-emitting fabrics, and others.
