NOVELTY - The electrode (1) comprises a current collector (2), and an electrode active material layer (3) including active materials and a conductive material. The electrode active material layer is formed on a part of a surface of the current collector, has a structure in which a part of the active materials binds to the surface of the current collector, and has a thickness of 300 nm to 10 mu m. The active materials partly bind to each other so that the active materials exist continuously, and include a porous layer having pores through which an electrolyte is passed.    USE - The electrode is useful for a non-aqueous electrolyte lithium-ion secondary battery for portable devices, large-sized devices, electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, power tools and small-sized devices such as mobile phones.    ADVANTAGE - The electrode has good adhesion and high resistivity, and improves the output characteristics and the rate charge/discharge characteristics, energy density and high voltage of the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The electrode (1) comprises a current collector (2), and an electrode active material layer (3) including active materials and a conductive material. The electrode active material layer is formed on a part of a surface of the current collector, has a structure in which a part of the active materials binds to the surface of the current collector, and has a thickness of 300 nm to 10 mu m. The active materials partly bind to each other so that the active materials exist continuously, and include a porous layer having pores through which an electrolyte passed. The active materials have a mean minimum particle diameter of 10-100 nm, and a mean maximum particle diameter of 20-900 nm. The mean minimum particle diameter is the mean value of five smallest measurements among the measurements of the particle diameters of any 20 active materials chosen from the active materials included in the electrode active material layer. The mean maximum particle diameter is the mean value of five greatest measurements among the measurements of the particle diameters of the 20 active materials. A percentage of discharge capacity retention is greater than or equal to 50% at a discharge rate of greater than or equal to 50 C, when the percentage of discharge capacity retention at a discharge rate of 1 C is taken as 100%. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for:    (1) a method for producing an electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery; and    (2) a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The diagram shows an electron micrograph of an electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery.
