  • Publication number: 20240097132
    Abstract: An electrode material includes an active material particle and a solid electrolyte particle. The solid electrolyte particle includes Li, M, and X, wherein M is at least one selected from the group consisting of metal elements excluding Li and metalloid elements, and X is at least one selected from the group consisting of F, Cl, Br, and I. The ratio R1 of the volume of the active material particle to the sum of the volume of the active material particle and the volume of the solid electrolyte particle is greater than or equal to 10% and less than 65% when expressed as percentage. The ratio R2 of the average particle diameter of the active material particle to the average particle diameter of the solid electrolyte particle is greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 3.4.
