Abstract: An electrode binder for a nonaqueous secondary battery; and a nonaqueous secondary battery electrode. The electrode binder for a nonaqueous secondary battery contains a resin component and is water-soluble. The surface free energy ?B at 23° C. is 70 mJ/m2 or less, and the dipole component ?pB of the surface free energy is 26 mJ/m2 or less.

Abstract: The invention is related to a nonaqueous secondary battery electrode having an electrode active material layer with little crack and high peel strength to a current collector, and can reduce the internal resistance of the battery; and an electrode slurry therefor, and a nonaqueous secondary battery. The electrode active material layer of the nonaqueous secondary battery contains an electrode active material (A), a copolymer (P), a nonionic surfactant (B), and a cellulose derivative (C). A content of the nonionic surfactant (B) to 100 parts by mass of the copolymer (P) is 5.0 to 350 parts by mass, and a content of the cellulose derivative (C) is 10 to 350 parts by mass. The copolymer (P) contains a structural unit (p1) derived from a (meth)acrylic acid salt of 50 to 99% by mass and a structural unit (p2) derived from a compound represented by general formula (1) of 0.50 to 30% by mass.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a solid electrolytic capacitor including a porous anode body made of a valve metal having a dielectric film on a surface thereof, and a solid electrolyte layer disposed on a surface of the dielectric film. The method including: a step of; in a liquid including a polyanion and an aqueous medium, polymerizing a monomer compound to obtain a dispersion (1) containing a conjugated electrically conductive polymer and subjecting dispersion treatment to the dispersion (1) to obtain a dispersion (2) containing the conjugated electrically conductive polymer; depositing the dispersion (2) to a porous anode body made of a valve metal having a dielectric coating on a surface thereof; and removing the aqueous medium from the dispersion (2) deposited on the porous anode body to form a solid electrolyte layer, wherein an operation which pauses the dispersion treatment is performed.
