Electrode binder composition for nonaqueous electrolyte battery and use thereof

A vinyl phenol polymer is contained in an electrode binder composition. Consequently, there can be obtained an electrode binder composition for a nonaqueous electrolyte battery which enables to have good adhesive effect and battery performance at the same time while maintaining high capacity necessary to the nonaqueous electrolyte battery even when it is added in a small amount. Also disclosed are an electrode and nonaqueous electrolyte battery using such an electrode binder composition.
