SLURRY INCLUDING CARBON BLACK, ELECTRODE PASTE, METHOD FOR PRODUCING ELECTRODE, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SECONDARY BATTERY

A slurry including at least a carbon black and a dispersion medium, wherein a concentration of the carbon black in the slurry is 5% by mass or more and 25% by mass or less, and wherein in a volume-based frequency distribution of particle size of the carbon black measured by a laser diffraction / scattering method, provided that a volume concentration of carbon black with a particle size of 0.6 µm or more is x (%), a volume concentration of carbon black with a particle size of 0.3 µm or more and less than 0.6 µm is y (%), and a volume concentration of carbon black having a particle size of less than 0.3 µm is 100 - (x + y) (%), the slurry satisfies 10 ≤ x ≤ 70, 30 ≤ y ≤90, and 0 ≤ 100 - (x + y) ≤ 30.
