Electrode, method of manufacturing electrode, and battery

A method of manufacturing an electrode, the method comprising:

• preparing an electrode body and a protective member, the electrode body including a current collector and an active material layer provided on the current collector, the protective member including an unadhered part and paired adhered parts, the paired adhered parts being opposed to each other with the unadhered part interposed between the paired adhered parts;
• adhering the protective member to a surface of the electrode body via the paired adhered parts;
• and
• cutting the electrode body together with the protective member at the unadhered part.

A battery comprising:

• a first electrode;
• and
• an electrolytic solution, wherein
• the first electrode includes
• an electrode body, and
• a protective member that covers a surface of the electrode body,
• the electrode body includes
• a current collector having a first end face, and
• an active material layer provided on at least a portion of a surface of the current collector, and
• the protective member includes
• an unadhered part that is disposed on a side closer to the first end face and is unadhered to the electrode body, and
• an adhered part that is disposed on a side farther from the first end face, is coupled to the unadhered part, and is adhered to the electrode body.
