Abstract

A vinylidene fluoride polymer binder solution for forming an electrode for a non-aqueous-type battery is formed by adding an acid, preferably an organic acid, as a stabilizer to a solution of a vinylidene fluoride polymer in an organic solvent. The acid is preferably added in an amount sufficient to ensure a pH of at most 9 when measured with respect to a 10-times dilution of the binder solution with deionized water. The acid addition is effective for preventing a problematic viscosity increase in the binder solution and also gelling of an electrode-forming composition formed by adding a powdery electrode material in the binder solution.
