  • Patent number: 9950929
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a disulfonylamine alkali metal salt, including a step of subjecting a disulfonylamine onium salt represented by formula [I] (wherein each of R1 and R2 independently represents a fluorine atom or a fluorinated alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, provided that at least one of R1 and R2 represents a fluorine atom, and each of R3, R4, R5 and R6 independently represents a hydrogen atom or the like) to a cation exchange reaction in an organic solvent, thereby producing a disulfonylamine alkali metal salt represented by formula [II] (wherein M+ represents an alkali metal cation, and R1 and R2 are as defined in formula [I]), and a step of filtering the organic solvent solution containing the disulfonylamine alkali metal salt through a filter having a particle retention size of 0.1 to 10 ?m to obtain a filtrate.

  • Publication number: 20120251871
    Abstract: An all-solid-state battery includes: a positive electrode having a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode layer on the positive electrode current collector; a negative electrode having a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode layer on the negative electrode current collector; and an electrolyte between the positive and negative electrodes. The electrolyte is made of a first solid-state electrolyte having lithium ionic conductivity. The positive electrode layer includes a base portion and an active material portion. The base portion is made of a second solid-state electrolyte having lithium ionic conductivity in a continuous phase. The active material portion is dispersed in the base portion, and includes a positive electrode active material. The first and second solid-state electrolytes are lithium ionic conductive material having a hydride solid-state electrolyte, respectively.
