Abstract: An electrode having a multilayer structure formed by stacking a plurality of unit electrode active material layers. The electrode is formed from granules comprising an electrode material densely packed in each unit electrode active material layer, and even though different types of electrode active materials are used in each unit electrode active material layer, the intermixing of the electrode active materials does not occur at or near the interface of the unit electrode active material layers, resulting in less interferences of electrochemical properties between the different types of electrode active materials. Additionally, the electrode active material layer has higher porosity of the unit electrode active material layer closer to the electrode surface than the unit electrode active material layer closer to the current collector. Accordingly, it is possible to improve electrolyte wetting and ionic conductivity of the electrode.
