Apparatus and process for producing electricity storage material

A production apparatus for producing an electricity storage material, comprising:

• a solution production device including a first hopper containing a surfactant, a second hopper containing a thickener, and a housing on top of which the first hopper and the second hopper are disposed, the first hopper and the second hopper introducing the surfactant and the thickener respectively into the housing to form a solution of the thickener and the surfactant;
• an active material feeder containing a powder of an active material;
• a mixture conveying device connected to both a downstream end of the housing and a downstream end of the active material feeder, the mixture conveying device configured to convey a mixture of the solution and the powder of the active material;
• and
• a mixture-kneading device downstream of the mixture conveying device configured to knead the mixture, wherein the surfactant is a hydrophilic fluorochemical material mixed at 0.01-0.3% by weight of the solution.
