Abstract

An electrode is produced by forming an electrode layer on a surface of a current collector using an electrode composition containing a binder including a polyamide acid that is obtained from a specific aromatic tetracarboxylic acid compound and a diamine component containing a diamine having a carboxyl group, and subsequently performing heat treatment to remove a solvent and perform an imidization reaction of the polyamide acid. It is preferable that the electrode composition further contains a crosslinking agent having an epoxy group or an oxazoline group. It is also preferable that the electrode composition further contains a pyridine.
