Abstract

A binder resin precursor solution composition for electrode containing at least (A) a polyamic acid having repeating units represented by chemical formulae (1) and (2) in a (1) to (2) molar ratio of 2:8 to 8.5:1.5 and having a tetracarboxylic acid component to diamine component molar ratio of 0.94 to 0.99, (B) a carboxylic acid compound having two pairs of carboxyl groups in the molecule thereof or an ester thereof, and (C) a solvent.

Claims (19)
