The patent filed by Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co Ltd. describes a method for producing high-purity lithium sulfide. The method involves two steps: first, reducing a raw material containing lithium and sulfur using a reductant containing carbon to obtain an intermediate, and second, reducing the intermediate using a reducing gas to obtain lithium sulfide. The process is preferably carried out in inert gas atmospheres at specific temperature ranges for each step to ensure optimal results.
Furthermore, the patent includes specific claims related to the method, such as controlling the X-ray diffraction pattern of the intermediate and lithium sulfide to achieve desired intensities at specific peaks. The method also allows for the production of lithium sulfide at high temperatures within defined ranges, ensuring the purity and quality of the final product. Additionally, the patent extends to the production of a solid electrolyte by incorporating the lithium sulfide into a composition with phosphorus pentasulfide and lithium halide, followed by firing to create a solid electrolyte with a specific crystal structure. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive method for producing lithium sulfide with high purity and quality, along with its application in solid electrolyte production.
