Abstract:
A method for producing an electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte battery by preparing an electrode active material mixture-coating material containing at least an active material composed of a lithium composite oxide, an electrically conductive agent composed of a graphite having a flaky shape, and a binder, and by applying the active material mixture-coating material onto a collector, said method comprising the step of preparing the mixture-coating material by kneading at least said active material, said graphite, and a binder and/or a solvent in a kneading apparatus under a condition satisfying the formula: ##EQU3##where a specific surface area of said active material as measured by the BET method is represented by Sa, a blending weight of said active material at the kneading step is represented by Wa, a specific surface area of said graphite as measured by the BET method is represented by Sg, and a blending weight of said graphite at the kneading step is represented by Wg.
