METHOD FOR PRODUCING ELECTRODE FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL ELEMENT, ELECTRODE FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL ELEMENT, AND ELECTROCHEMICAL ELEMENT

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for producing an electrode for an electrochemical element with which it is possible to sufficiently produce the desired performance in an electrode for an electrochemical element obtained. This method for producing an electrode for an electrochemical element includes: a step for forming, on a current collector, an unpressed electrode composite layer comprising an electrode active material, a binder containing a water-soluble polymer, and a plasticizer for the water-soluble polymer; and a step for pressing the unpressed electrode composite layer to obtain a pressed electrode composite layer. The melting point of the plasticizer is less than or equal to the temperature for pressing the unpressed electrode composite layer, and the amount of plasticizer in the unpressed electrode composite layer is 500 to 10,000 ppm by mass.
