## Abstract

Provided is a method for producing a high-strength electrode film for an EDLC, where scraps generated when producing the electrode film are reusable. The method for producing an electrode film for an electric double-layer capacitor includes a step of kneading a carbonaceous powder, a conductive assistant, and a fluororesin binder, and producing a shaped product from the obtained kneaded product, a step of pulverizing the shaped product to produce a modifying material having an average particle diameter of 5 to 100 μm, and a step of kneading a carbonaceous powder, a conductive assistant, a fluororesin, and the modifying material in a ratio of 1 to 40% by weight of the modifying material with respect to 100% by weight in total of the carbonaceous powder, the conductive assistant, the fluororesin, and the modifying material, and rolling the obtained kneaded product to produce an electrode film for an electric double-layer capacitor.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for producing an electrode film for an electric double-layer capacitor, the method comprising:
a step (a1) of kneading a carbonaceous powder, a conductive assistant, and a fluororesin binder, and producing a shaped product;
a step (a2) of pulverizing the shaped product to produce a modifying material having an average particle diameter of 5 to 100 μm;
a step (b) of producing a kneaded product by kneading together a carbonaceous powder, a conductive assistant, a fluororesin, and the modifying material having the average particle diameter of 5 to 100 μm in a ratio of 1 to 40% by weight of the modifying material with respect to 100% by weight in total of the carbonaceous powder, the conductive assistant, the fluororesin, and the modifying material, and rolling the kneaded product to produce an electrode film for an electric double-layer capacitor; and
irradiating the shaped product or a pulverized product thereof with an electron beam at the step (a2).

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method for producing an electrode film for an electric double-layer capacitor of claim 1, wherein the modifying material has an angle of repose of 45 degrees or less.
