ELECTRODE SHEET MANUFACTURING APPARATUS

In an electrode sheet manufacturing apparatus, in a state where a potential difference is caused between a gravure roll and a current collector foil conveyed by a back-up roll, a mixed powder is continuously supplied into recessed portions on an outer peripheral surface of the gravure roll such that the mixed powder is moved from the gravure roll to a surface of a current collector foil by an electrostatic force working between the mixed powder supplied into the recessed portions of the gravure roll and the current collector foil. In the gravure roll, a volume of first-end-side recessed portions per unit area in a first-end-side region and a volume of second-end-side recessed portions per unit area in a second-end-side region are made larger than a volume of intermediate recessed portions per unit area in an intermediate region.
