Abstract: The positive electrode active material layer includes a plurality of particles of a positive electrode active material and a reaction mixture where reduced graphene oxide is bonded to a polymer having a functional group as a side chain. The reduced graphene oxide has a sheet-like shape and high conductivity and thus functions as a conductive additive by being in contact with the plurality of particles of the positive electrode active material. The reaction mixture serves as an excellent binder since the reduced graphene oxide is bonded to the polymer. Therefore, even a small amount of the reaction mixture where the reduced graphene oxide is covalently bonded to the polymer excellently serves as a conductive additive and a binder.

Abstract: A hydrothermal synthesis for LiFePO4 is provided. First, each raw material solution is prepared using a degassed water in advance, second, those solution are mixed by dripping in a fixed order, and then those materials are reacted in a hydrothermal synthesis, so that LiFePO4 is obtained in a predesigned form.

Abstract: Graphene is formed with a practically uniform thickness on an uneven object. The object is immersed in a graphene oxide solution, and then taken out of the solution and dried; alternatively, the object and an electrode are immersed therein and voltage is applied between the electrode and the object used as an anode. Graphene oxide is negatively charged, and thus is drawn to and deposited on a surface of the object, with a practically uniform thickness. After that, the object is heated in vacuum or a reducing atmosphere, so that the graphene oxide is reduced to be graphene. In this manner, a graphene layer with a practically uniform thickness can be formed even on a surface of the uneven object.
