PASTE FOR SECONDARY BATTERY, SLURRY FOR SECONDARY BATTERY POSITIVE ELECTRODE, POSITIVE ELECTRODE FOR SECONDARY BATTERY, SECONDARY BATTERY, AND METHOD OF PRODUCING PASTE FOR SECONDARY BATTERY

Provided are a paste for a secondary battery, and method of producing the same, with which it is possible to produce an electrode that can reduce internal resistance of a secondary battery and that can cause the secondary battery to display excellent cycle characteristics. The paste for a secondary battery contains a conductive additive, a polymer, and a dispersion medium. The conductive additive includes one or more carbon nanotubes having a surface base content of not less than 0.01 mmol/g and not more than 0.10 mmol/g and a ratio of surface acid content relative to the surface base content of not less than 0.1 and not more than 1.0.
