Abstract

L'invention concerne une électrode qui, tout en maintenant une plus faible résistance dans un dispositif de stockage d'électricité, possède d'excellentes propriétés de liaison du liant. Plus spécifiquement, cette électrode comporte un collecteur de courant et une couche de matériau d'électrode formée sur la surface du collecteur de courant. La couche de matériau d'électrode contient des particules de substance active et des particules de liant, et dans une image d'une section transversale de cette couche de matériau d'électrode observée à l'aide d'un microscope électronique à balayage, dans au moins trois champs carrés de 1μmX1μm dans lesquels il n'y a pas de particules de substance active, entre 3 et 20 particules de liant sont observées, et il n'y a pas plus de deux particules de liant à la suite qui se touchent.
