METHOD OF PRODUCING SPHERICAL SOLID ELECTROLYTE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18529132 titled 'METHOD OF PRODUCING SPHERICAL SOLID ELECTROLYTE

The present disclosure describes a method for producing a solid electrolyte with a uniform particle size distribution and a spherical shape. The method involves preparing a raw material containing lithium (Li), phosphorus (P), or sulfur (S) elements, preparing a starting material with the raw material and a solvent, obtaining an intermediate in powder form through spray drying the starting material, and finally obtaining a sulfide-based solid electrolyte through heat treatment of the intermediate.

• Raw material contains lithium (Li), phosphorus (P), or sulfur (S) elements
• Starting material prepared with raw material and a solvent
• Intermediate obtained in powder form through spray drying
• Sulfide-based solid electrolyte produced through heat treatment

Potential Applications: - Solid state batteries - Energy storage devices - Electronic devices

Problems Solved: - Inconsistent particle size distribution in solid electrolytes - Lack of spherical shape in solid electrolytes

Benefits: - Improved performance of solid state batteries - Enhanced energy storage capabilities - Increased efficiency of electronic devices

Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Method for Producing Solid Electrolytes" This technology can be utilized in the production of solid state batteries for various electronic devices, energy storage systems, and other applications requiring efficient energy storage solutions.

Questions about Solid Electrolyte Production: 1. How does the method described in the patent application differ from traditional methods of producing solid electrolytes? - The method involves spray drying the starting material to obtain an intermediate in powder form, which is then heat treated to produce a sulfide-based solid electrolyte, ensuring a uniform particle size distribution and spherical shape.

2. What are the key advantages of using a sulfide-based solid electrolyte in energy storage devices? - Sulfide-based solid electrolytes offer improved performance, enhanced energy storage capabilities, and increased efficiency compared to traditional electrolyte materials.

Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to a method of producing a solid electrolyte with a uniform particle size distribution and a spherical shape. The method includes preparing a raw material comprising one or more of a lithium (Li) element, a phosphorus (P) element, or a sulfur(S) element, preparing a starting material comprising the raw material and a solvent, obtaining an intermediate in powder form by spray drying the starting material, and obtaining a sulfide-based solid electrolyte by heat treating the intermediate.
