Abstract
In conventional arts, it is impossible to form a good solid-solid interface in cathode mixture layers of all-solid-state batteries, which significantly deteriorates resistance of the all-solid-state battery after the charge/discharge cycle, which is problematic. A cathode slurry is produced by a method including: a first step of dispersing a conductive additive constituted of carbon in a solvent to obtain a first slurry; a second step of dispersing a sulfide solid electrolyte in the first slurry to obtain a second slurry; and a third step of dispersing a cathode active material in the second slurry to obtain a third slurry, to be used to form a cathode mixture layer. This may suppress agglomeration of the cathode active material as using the conductive additive as a core, and may lower the proportion of agglomerate present in the cathode mixture layer. As a result, a good solid-solid interface may be formed in the cathode mixture layer of the all-solid-state battery, and the resistance increase of the all-solid-state battery after the charge/discharge cycle may be suppressed.
