METHOD FOR PRODUCING ELECTRODE FOR CAPACITOR

摘要

The present invention provides a method of producing an electrode for an electric double layer capacitor, which yields the electrode with an electrode layer having a higher density by calendering treatment. A method of producing an electrode for a capacitor, which comprises at least a current collector and an electrode layer on the current collector, the method comprising the steps of: applying an electrode layer coating material which comprises at least a carbon material, a binder and a solvent, onto the current collector to form an electrode coating layer; drying the electrode coating layer on the current collector to set the amount of the solvent remaining in the electrode coating layer within a range of 5 to 35% by weight of the layer; and subjecting the electrode coating layer after the drying to calendering treatment to yield an electrode layer.
