METHOD OF MANUFACTURING FORMED BODY FOR ELECTRODE

A method of manufacturing a formed body for an electrode includes: preparing an electrode material; placing a shape retaining member having an rectangular tubular shape with one opening portion L thereof facing down, and supplying the electrode material into the shape retaining member from the other opening portion M thereof, and discharging the electrode material onto a support from the opening portion L while relatively moving the opening portion L and the support, to form a film, a bulk density Dof the electrode material in the first step and a bulk density Dof the electrode material at the opening portion L satisfying a relationship of D/D=1.1 to 30, and a width Tof the opening portion L in a short side direction and a distance Tbetween the end portion X of the opening portion L and the support satisfying a relationship of width T>distance T.
