  • Patent number: 11929489
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for an electrode plate and an electrode plate are provided. The method includes deposition-layer forming to form a deposition layer in which active material particles and binder particles are deposited on a surface of a current collecting foil and heat pressing to form an electrode layer on the surface of the current collecting foil by heating and compressing a deposition-layer-formed current collecting foil having the deposition layer on the surface of the current collecting foil. The deposition layer includes a first deposition layer placed on a side of the current collecting foil and a second deposition layer constituting a surface of the deposition layer. The deposition-layer forming includes forming the deposition layer in which a content rate of the binder particles in the second deposition layer is lower than a content rate of the binder particles in the first deposition layer.

  • Publication number: 20220352490
    Abstract: A method for producing an electrode sheet includes roll-pressing an uncompressed electrode sheet including a current collecting foil and an uncompressed electrode layer formed thereon and made from composite particles including active material particles and binder particles, by feeding the uncompressed electrode sheet to pass through a gap between first and second rolls to compress, and heating the sheet so that the active material particles are bonded to each other and also to the current collecting foil. A first outer peripheral surface temperature of the first roll contacting the foil falls within a temperature range from a binder-resin melting start temperature +5° C. to +25° C., and a second outer peripheral surface temperature of the second roll contacting the uncompressed electrode layer is lower than the first outer peripheral surface temperature and further falls within a temperature range not exceeding the melting start temperature +5° C.

  • Publication number: 20220190309
    Abstract: A method for producing an electrode sheet includes heating before pressing to heat the electrode sheet to soften or melt binder particles contained in an electrode mixture layer and roll-pressing the electrode sheet heated in the heating before pressing by use of first and second rolls. In the roll-pressing, the temperature of an outer peripheral surface of a first roll with which an outer surface of the electrode mixture layer of the electrode sheet contacts is set lower than the temperature of an outer peripheral surface of the second roll, and the electrode sheet is roll-pressed so that an adhesive strength of binder particles in the electrode mixture layer to the first roll is reduced lower than an adhesive strength of the binder particles to a current collecting foil.
