  • Publication number: 20210184214
    Abstract: A conduction path in an all-solid-state secondary battery is difficult to keep with a volume change in an active material due to charging and discharging in some cases. A positive electrode active material with a small volume change between the charged state and the discharged state is used for an all-solid-state secondary battery. For example, a positive electrode active material that has a layered rock-salt crystal structure in the discharged state and a crystal structure similar to the cadmium chloride type crystal structure in the charged state with a depth of charge of approximately 0.8 changes less in its volume and crystal structure between charging and discharging than known positive electrode active materials.
