Abstract

A producing method for a positive electrode plate includes a positive electrode paste preparing process of preparing a positive electrode paste including carbon nanotubes, positive active material particles, and a solvent, a coating process of coating the positive electrode paste on a surface of a current collector to form a positive electrode paste layer on the surface of the current collector, and a drying process of drying the positive electrode paste layer to form a positive electrode mixture layer. The carbon nanotubes have the characteristics of being attracted by magnets, and the carbon nanotubes included in the positive electrode paste layer are attracted toward a side of the current collector by the magnets at least any one of directly before the drying process or during the drying process.

Claims (16)

1. A producing method for a positive electrode plate comprising a positive electrode mixture layer on a surface of a current collector includes:

positive-electrode-paste preparing of preparing a positive electrode paste including carbon nanotubes, positive active material particles, and a solvent;

coating of coating the positive electrode paste on the surface of the current collector to form a positive electrode paste layer on the surface of the current collector; and

drying of drying the positive electrode paste layer to form the positive electrode mixture layer, wherein

the carbon nanotubes have the characteristics of being attracted by a magnet, and

the magnet attracts the carbon nanotubes included in the positive electrode paster layer toward a side of the current collector at least any one of directly before the drying and during the drying.

2. The producing method of the positive electrode plate according to claim 1 , wherein

the carbon nanotubes comprise first carbon nanotubes and second carbon nanotubes, an average length of which is shorter than an average length of the first carbon nanotubes,

the positive-electrode-paste preparing is to prepare a first positive electrode paste including the first carbon nanotubes as the carbon nanotubes and a second positive electrode paste including the second carbon nanotubes as the carbon nanotubes,

the coating includes:

first coating of coating the first positive electrode paste on the surface of the current collector to form a first positive electrode paste layer on the surface of the current collector; and

second coating of coating the second positive electrode paste on any one of a surface of the first positive electrode paste layer and a surface of a first positive electrode mixture layer, which is formed by drying the first positive electrode paste layer, to form a second positive electrode paste layer, and

attracting by the magnet is performed at least any one of before drying the first positive electrode paste layer in the drying and during drying the first positive electrode paste layer in the drying.

3. The producing method for the positive electrode plate according to claim 2 , wherein

the second coating is to coat the second positive electrode paste on the surface of the first positive electrode paste layer to form the second positive electrode paste layer, and

the drying is to dry the first positive electrode paste layer with the second positive electrode paste layer to form the positive electrode mixture layer after the second coating.
