  • Patent number: 11063259
    Abstract: When spinel-type lithiated cobalt oxide is employed for a cathode active material for a lithium ion battery, a sufficient discharge capacity is not always obtained. Thus, spinel-type lithiated cobalt oxide is doped with at least chromium, and specifically, a cathode active material for a lithium ion battery includes a spinel-type crystal phase including lithium, cobalt, chromium and oxygen, and the cathode active material has a composition represented by LiCoxCryMzO2±? where M is at least one selected from Al and Mn, and 0.85?x<1, 0<y?0.15, 0?z, and 0.85<x+y+z?1.2.

  • Patent number: 11018374
    Abstract: An all-solid-state battery which includes an anode layer that contains a Si-based material as an anode active material and which has high energy density. Provided is an all-solid-state battery including a cathode layer, an anode layer, and a solid electrolyte layer disposed between the cathode layer and the anode layer, wherein the anode layer includes an anode active material that contains at least one Si-based material selected from the group consisting of Si and a Si alloy, and a solid electrolyte that contains a sulfide-based solid electrolyte; wherein a void surrounded by the solid electrolyte is present in at least a region formed by the solid electrolyte in the anode layer; and wherein, when a total volume of the anode layer is determined as 100 vol %, a percentage of the voids surrounded by the solid electrolyte in the anode layer, is 3.4 vol % or more and 29.6 vol % or less.
