Application: All-solid-state battery system (Patent ID: US20240105926A1)

The patent application by Hitachi Ltd. describes an all-solid-state battery system comprising a positive electrode, negative electrode, and solid electrolyte layer. The negative electrode contains lithium titanium oxide, with a specified discharge utilization rate of 134 mAh/g or less. The battery capacity is calculated based on specific charging and discharging conditions, ensuring efficient performance of the battery system.

Additionally, the system includes a charging apparatus and operates with an upper limit voltage of 2.8 V. The positive electrode consists of a lithium-containing composite oxide, specifically lithium cobalt oxide. The solid electrolyte layer is a sulfide-based solid electrolyte, particularly an argyrodite-type sulfide-based solid electrolyte. These specific components and materials contribute to the overall performance and stability of the all-solid-state battery system, as outlined in the patent claims.
