  • Patent number: 9660270
    Abstract: The present invention provides a production method that can produce a garnet-type compound containing zirconium and lithium, the compound being in the form of fine particles, with high productivity. The method produces a garnet-type compound containing Zr, Li, and element M1 (wherein M1 is at least one element selected from the group consisting of La, Sc, Y, and Ce) as constituent elements. The method includes a first step of (1) mixing a first raw material and a second raw material to obtain a precipitate, the first raw material being a solution containing a zirconium carbonate complex and having a pH of at least 7.0 and not more than 9.5, and the second raw material containing a compound containing the above element M1 as a constituent element; and (2) a second step of mixing the precipitate and a third raw material containing Li as a constituent element to obtain a mixture, and then firing the mixture at a temperature of less than 1,000° C. to obtain a fired product.
