Abstract: The present invention relates to a rechargeable lithium ion battery having an electrode plate with a high active material density and high electrolyte permeability. Upon producing the rechargeable lithium ion battery, hollow resin particles that can be collapsed by rolling are incorporated in a positive electrode mixture layer or a negative electrode mixture layer before the electrode mixture layer is rolled. The hollow resin particles are collapsed in the course of rolling the positive electrode mixture layer or the negative electrode mixture layer, so that the active material density can be easily increased. Further, the collapsed resin particles form unevenness on the surface of the electrode plate and also form open pores in the electrode plate, so that electrolyte permeability can be enhanced. As a result, the discharge capacity and rate characteristics of rechargeable lithium ion batteries can be increased.
