`may be used, ar twa ar more thereof may be used in mixture.
`fO025] The positive electrode 17 may further include a solid electrafyte. The type of salid electrolyte included in the
`positive electrode 774
`is not particularly limited, but it is preferable ta Inchide the same type of solid electratyie as the
`solid electrolyte included in the solid electrolyte layer 13.
`fOO26] The negalive electrode 12 inchides negative clectrode active rnaterial parlicies. Specific exarnples of the neg-
`alive electrode active material particles preferably used include compound particles represented by MO, (MIs al least
`one selected fram the group consisting of Ti, Si, Sn, Cr, Fe, Nb and Alo. 0.9 4% < 2.5), graphite-lithiumn sompound
`particles, lithium alley particies, ithhum-containing phosphate compound particles which have a NASICON-type structure,

`include LI,TI,Q 5. Gniy one of these negative electrode active material particles may be used, or hwo or more thereaf
`may be used in mixture.
`fo027] The negative electrode 12 may further include a solid electrolyte. The type of solid electrolyte included inthe
`negative electrode 12 is not particularly limited, bul tis preferable fo inclide the same type of salid eleotralyte as ihe
`solid electrolyte included in the solid electrolyte layer 13.
`fOOG28] A aolid electrolyte layer 13is disposed between the positive electrode 17 and ihe negative electrode 12. More
`specifically, the positive electrode 11 is disposed on one side of the solid electrolyte layer 13, and the negative electrode
`12 is disposed on the other side. Each of ihe positive electrode 11 and the negative elactrode 12 is bonded by sintering
`to the solid electrolyte layer 13. More specifically, the positive electrode 11, the solid atectrolyie hayer 13, and the negative
`mlectrate 12 constitute an integrallysintered body.
`fOO29] The solic ciectrolyie isyer 13 has a NwaShCON-type crystal structure. The solid electrolyte bayer 13 includes a
`solid electrolyte represented by a general formula Li...2ro .MM(POg}y (Li may be parially substituted with al least ore
`selected from the group consisting af Na. K, Rb, Cs, Ag, and Ca, P may be partially subatituied with at least one of B
`ard Si, and M contains af least one element capable of stabilizing or partially stabilizing the tetragonal or cuble crysial
`structure of ihe high-temperature phase of ZrO, and -0.50 = a< 2.00, 0.04 <b s 1.90. and 6.01 sc = 1.96). Therefore,
`the solid electrolyte layer 135 has high ion conductivity. Accordingly, the all solid state battery | with the solid electrolyte
`layer 13 has exceiient battery characteristics such as a pawer density. The reasan therefor is nat known exactly, but
`believed lo be because the addition of M makes a high ionic conduction phase more likely io be formed in the solid
`electrolyte. However, the excessively high content of M In the solid electrolyte is believed to produce M that falls to serve
`as a solid solution in ihe NaSICON-iypesolid electratyte, thereby causing the M fo form a different phase, and thus
`decreasing the jon canduclivity. Accordingly, in the ganeral formula mentioned above, o prafarably meets 0.07 = ¢ =
`0.38, more preferably 0.02 <0 <4 0.20.
`[9030]
`Specific examples of preferabie M include, for example, lanthanoid elernents such as Y. Ca, Mg, Sc, and Ce.
`Above all, from the viewpoint of actieaving a higher ionic conductivity, Mots preferably af beast one selected from ire
`group consisting af Y, Ca, Ma, Sc, and lanthanoid elements. The reasan why = highionic conductivity can be achieved
`by using ¥Y. Ca. or Mg as M is not known exactly, bul believed to be because a high ionic conduction phase is made
`more likely to be formed and maintained.
`fO034] M in the general formula mentioned above preferably further contains another element for maintaining the
`NaSiCon-tyoe orvstal structure evan in the case of substitution with Zr of the general formula. Spectfically, M in the
`general formula preferably further contains at least one element selected frarn ihe group cansisiing of Al, Ga, Sc, tn,
`Ge, Tl Ru, Sn, Hf Ce, V. Nb, Ta, BL and W. This is because, in this case, the lonic conductivity of the solid electrolyte
`oan be futher rioreasecd. The reasan therefor is not known a@xacily, but believed in be becausa the high tonic canduckon
`phase is made much more likely ta be formed.
`[O32] Snectically, the solid electroiyie according to the present invention is preferably a solid electrofyte represented
`by the general formula Liv.ffMi. Meo (PO,g}, (Li may be partially substituted with at least ane selected fram the
`group consisting of Na, K, Rib, Cs, Aq, and Ca, P may be partially substitufed with al least one of B arc Si, Mi represents

`is used which is partially stabilized by an element contained in M, capable of stabilizing or partially stabilizing the tetragana}
`ar ouble crystal structure of the hightemperature phase of ZrO.. For this reason, a solid electrolyte can be produced
`which has a high jon conductivify. The reason therefor is not known exactly, but believed to be because the use of, as
