A method for manufacturing a positive
electrode plate for a non-aqueous secondary battery including: preparing an active material A, a conductive material B, a binder C, a thickener D, and a liquid component E, the thickener D being in a
powder state, the conductive material B including a carbon material, the thickener D including a water-
soluble polymer, and the liquid component E including water; preparing a
slurry including the component E and an
electrode material mixture, the material mixture including the active material A, the conductive material B, the binder C, and the thickener D; and applying the
slurry on a
current collector. In preparing the
slurry, the thickener D in a
powder state, the active material A and the conductive material B are kneaded together with the liquid component E, and then the primary kneaded matter, the binder C, and an additional liquid component are kneaded.
