  • Patent number: 10147937
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a solid-state battery that has a positive-electrode layer; a negative-electrode layer; and a lithium-ion-conducting solid electrolyte layer disposed between the positive-electrode layer and the negative-electrode layer. The positive-electrode layer contains a positive-electrode active material and a solid electrolyte comprising a hydride of a complex. Said positive-electrode active material is sulfur-based, and the solid electrolyte layer contains a solid electrolyte comprising a hydride of a complex.
