Abstract
An electrode material applying apparatus 14 includes a flow path 14a which allows passage of slurry containing at least graphite particles dispersed in a solvent, a filter 14b disposed in the flow path 14a, magnets 14c1 and 14c2 disposed so as to generate, on the filter 14b, a magnetic field having magnetic lines of force extending along the flow path 14a, and an applying member 14d which applies, on a current collector, the slurry having passed through the filter 14b.

-10. (canceled)
An electrode material applying apparatus comprising:
- a flow path which allows passage of slurry containing at least graphite particles dispersed in a solvent,
- wherein
- the graphite particles having a laminar structure in which hexagonal plate-like crystals are stacked so as to form a plurality of layers thereof;
- a filter disposed in the flow path;
- a magnet disposed so as to generate, on the filter, a magnetic field having magnetic lines of force extending along the flow path, thereby orienting planes of the crystals of the graphite particles having the laminar structure parallel to the magnetic lines of force;
- and
- an applying member which applies, on a current collector, the slurry having passed through the filter.
A method for filtering slurry by supplying slurry containing at least graphite particles dispersed in a solvent to a flow path while generating, on a filter disposed in the flow path, a magnetic field having magnetic field lines extending along the flow path, the graphite particles having a laminar structure in which hexagonal plate-like crystals are stacked so as to form a plurality of layers thereof, thereby orienting planes of the crystals of the graphite particles having the laminar structure parallel to the magnetic field lines to filter the slurry.
