Abstract
A method of producing a granular aggregate in which wet granulated substances including active material particles, conductive material particles, a binding agent for binding the active material particles and the conductive material particles, and a solvent are aggregated includes adding a binding agent solution in which the binding agent is dissolved in the solvent to the active material particles having a solvent absorbing property, mixing the binding agent solution and the active material particles such that a primary granular aggregate in which granulated primary granulated substances are aggregated is produced, and mixing the conductive material particles into the primary granular aggregate and producing a granulated granular aggregate.
Claims5
A method of producing a granular aggregate in which wet granulated substances including active material particles, conductive material particles, a binding agent for binding the active material particles and the conductive material particles, and a solvent are aggregated, the method comprising:
- dissolving the binding agent in the solvent to obtain a binding agent solution;
- adding the binding agent solution to the active material particles having a solvent absorbing property,
- performing a primary granulation step of granulating the binding agent solution and the active material particles to obtain a wet primary granular aggregate in which wet primary granulated particulates are aggregated;
- and
- mixing the conductive material particles into the wet primary granular aggregate;
- and
- performing a secondary granulation step of granulating the conductive material particles and the wet primary granular aggregate to obtain a granulated granular aggregate,
- wherein a particle size of the granulated granular aggregate is several tens of μm to several mm, and
- a solid fraction in the granulated granular aggregate is 76.0 wt % to 80 wt %.
