Abstract

A binder composition used for making an electrode for a lithium-ion secondary battery, which comprises polymer particles dispersed in an organic medium having a boiling point of 80-350° C. at normal pressure. The polymer (1) comprises structural units derived from a monoethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid ester monomer, and at least one kind of structural units selected from (b) structural units derived from a monoethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer and (c) structural units derived from a conjugated diene monomer; (2) has a ratio of (a)/[(b)+(c)] of 99/1−60/40 by weight; (3) has a total content of (a), (b) plus (c) of at least 80 wt. % based on the total structural units; and (4) is substantially free from structural units of a monoethylenically aromatic hydrocarbon monomer. A lithium-ion secondary battery having an electrode made with the binder exhibits a large service capacity and enhanced charge-discharge characteristics at a high temperature.
