Original Abstract Submitted
In a manufacturing method of an electrode structure of an embodiment, in a belt-like member in which an uncoated region not coated with an active material-containing layer is formed in one of a pair of long edges and its vicinity in a current collector, the active material-containing layer is rolled, and a tension in a longitudinal direction is applied to the belt-like member between a pulling unit pulling the belt-like member and a rolling unit rolling the active material-containing layer. In the method, between the rolling unit and the pulling unit, a pair of holding members are brought into contact with the uncoated region from opposite sides in a thickness direction of the belt-like member to which the tension is applied, thereby holding the uncoated region between the holding members.
