Claim 0:
1. A method for manufacturing an electrode having either positive or negative electrode current collector and an electrode active material layer for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, the method comprising:
a step of preparing an electrode active material, carbon nanotubes as a conductive material, and a non-aqueous electrolytic solution, wherein electrode active material, carbon nanotubes, and the non-aqueous electrolytic solution are prepared separately;
a step of first mixing the carbon nanotubes and the non-aqueous electrolytic solution to impregnate the carbon nanotubes with the non-aqueous electrolytic solution in the absence of the electrode active material;
a step of second mixing the carbon nanotubes impregnated with the non-aqueous electrolytic solution and the electrode active material; and
a step of compressing the mixture obtained by the first mixing step and the second mixing step, wherein the compressing granulates a moisture powder formed by aggregated particles including at least the electrode active material, carbon nanotubes, and the non-aqueous electrolytic solution, and

a step of forming an electrode by supplying an electrode active material layer composed of the granulated moisture powder onto the electrode current collector.
