Abstract

A method for producing an electrode member that configures an electrode body of an all-solid-state battery, including: a slurry preparation step for preparing a mixed material slurry that contains at least a binder, solid electrolyte particles, and a nonaqueous solvent with low polarity; a molding step for molding the mixed material slurry into a desired shape; and a drying step for obtaining a molded body by removing the nonaqueous solvent with low polarity from the mixed material slurry after the molding. Then, the temperature of the mixed material slurry is controlled so as not to cause re-crystallization of the binder, which has been dissolved in the nonaqueous solvent with low polarity, at least until the initiation of the molding step. Consequently, it is possible to stably provide an all-solid-state battery that has low battery resistance, while improving electrode member production efficiency by preventing gelation of a mixed material slurry.

A method for producing polyarylene sulfide that can have a high melt viscosity while suppressing ultra-fine powder generation. The method for producing polyarylene sulfide includes: (1) preparing a prepared mixture containing an organic polar solvent, a sulfur source, and a dihalo aromatic compound; (2) initiating a polymerization reaction by heating the prepared mixture to produce a prepolymer; (3) adding water as a phase separation agent to a reaction mixture in a reaction system to form a phase-separated state; and (4) continuing the polymerization reaction after phase separation. In the method, when a dihalo aromatic compound conversion ratio is 80 mass % or greater and 93 mass % or less and after the prepolymer reaches a weight average molecular weight of 10000 or greater in the first-stage polymerization step, an aromatic compound having 3 or more halogen atoms bonded to an aromatic ring is added to the reaction mixture.

Furthermore, heating of the mixture (II) is continued to distill, together with the polyalkylene glycol diether, a cyclic ester formed by the depolymerization reaction, and thus a distillate (III) is obtained. The cyclic ester is recovered from the distillate (III). At this time, a specific solubilizing agent is added to at least one of the mixture (I) or (II). In this production method, the sulfonic acid compound as the thermal stabilizer is contained in the mixtures (I) and (II) and the distillate (III).
