Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a rechargeable battery by using a doped electrode containing an active material layer doped with an alkali metal. The doped electrode is manufactured by conveying an electrode including the active material layer along a path passing through a doping tank storing (i) a dope solution containing ions of the alkali metal and an aprotic organic solvent and (ii) a counter electrode member. The doped electrode exiting the doping tank is dried such that the doped electrode contains a component of the dope solution of 5 parts by mass or more and 40 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the active material layer. The rechargeable battery is manufactured using the doped electrode dried.

Abstract: In a secondary battery utilizing redox by a radical site, charge-discharge is carried out in such a manner that a lithium ion moves between a positive electrode and a negative electrode (rocking chair-type). An anion in an amount necessary for electrode doping during charge-discharge is made unnecessary, thereby reducing the amount of an electrolytic solution. A secondary battery with a large energy density is achieved. Provided is an electrode active material including at least one polymer including a radical site capable of being converted into a first cation, and an anion site capable of being bonded with the first cation or a second cation.
