  • Patent number: 11621422
    Abstract: An electrode slurry contains (A) a cellulose fiber, (B) a carboxymethyl-group-containing cellulose ether or a salt thereof, and a particulate material containing at least (C) an electrode active material, and the cellulose fiber (A) has an average fiber length of 1 to 750 ?m. The amount of the carboxymethyl-group-containing cellulose ether or the salt thereof (B) is 0.1 to 3 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the cellulose fiber (A), the carboxymethyl-group-containing cellulose ether or the salt thereof (B), and the electrode active material (C), in terms of solid content. The present invention provides an electrode slurry that allows an improved surface smoothness (coating uniformity) of an electrode and an improved coating property, a process for producing the electrode slurry, an electrode, a process for producing the electrode, a non-aqueous secondary battery, and a lithium-ion secondary battery.

  • Patent number: 11094934
    Abstract: An electrode slurry contains (A) a cellulose fiber and (C) an electrode active material, the electrode active material (C) contains at least a silicon particle and may contain a silicon particle and a carbonaceous particle. The slurry may further contain (B) a carboxymethyl-group-containing cellulose ether or a salt thereof. The average fiber length L (1 to 750 ?m) of the cellulose fiber (A) is larger than the average particle size DSi (1 nm to 1 ?m) of the silicon particle as the electrode active material (C). The average particle size ratio L/DSi is 5 to 15,000. The electrode slurry can improve a discharge capacity and is useful for forming an electrode of a non-aqueous secondary battery (lithium-ion secondary battery) that can maintain a high discharge capacity after repeated charging and discharging.

  • Patent number: 9084982
    Abstract: Provided are: a water-absorbing resin composition and a laminate using the resin composition. The resin composition is capable of giving a transparent anti-fog coating excellent in properties such as appearance, coatability, anti-fog properties, water resistance, and heat resistance. Specifically, a resin composition includes a specific (meth)acrylamide copolymer (A) in combination with at least one bifunctional or higher (meth)acrylate compound (B), in which the (meth)acrylamide copolymer (A) is copolymerized from a (meth)acrylamide monomer with another monomer. This resin composition provides an active-energy-ray-curable water-absorbing resin composition and a laminate using the resin composition, each having excellent anti-fog properties.
