  • Patent number: 10818907
    Abstract: A method of preparing an electrode for a secondary battery including: (a) a process of partially coating an electrode slurry containing an electrode mixture and a solvent on an electrode sheet so that coated portions are positioned with an uncoated portion interposed therebetween; (b) a process of drying the coated portions to remove the solvent; and (c) a process of rolling the dried coated portions, wherein a thickness of the coated portion is decreased and the electrode mixture moves to the uncoated portions, resulting in the coated portions disappearing, in the process (c).
