Abstract

Provided is an adhesive composition for an electrochemical device capable of forming an adhesive layer that has excellent adhesiveness in electrolysis solution and can improve electrical characteristics of an electrochemical device. The adhesive composition can be used for adhering an electrode assembly and a casing to one another. The adhesive composition contains organic particles having a core-shell structure including a core portion and a shell portion that partially covers an outer surface of the core portion. A polymer of the core portion has a degree of swelling in electrolysis solution of at least a factor of 5 and no greater than a factor of 30, whereas a polymer of the shell portion has a degree of swelling in electrolysis solution of greater than a factor of 1 and no greater than a factor of 4.
