Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a positive electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte battery, the positive electrode having a current collector and an active material layer formed on the current collector, the method comprising: coating a slurry onto the current collector, the slurry having a pH of from 5 to 9 and comprising a positive electrode active material selected from the group consisting of a lithium-containing cobalt oxide, a lithium-containing nickel oxide, and an olivine-type, lithium phosphate compound, water as a dispersion medium, carboxymethylcellulose, and a pH adjuster which is a water-soluble organic acid selected from the group consisting of succinic acid, phthalic acid, maleic acid, succinic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride; organic compounds having a phosphate group, and organic compounds having a sulfonate group; and drying the coated slurry to form the active material layer.
