[Problem] To provide a non-
aqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery having an excellent
retention capacity. An
electrode for a non-
aqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery of an embodiment of the present invention: has an active material layer, which contains an active material and a
fluorine-containing binder, and a
current collector that is bound to the active material layer; and, in
pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry at a
pyrolysis temperature of (T1 + T2) / 2 DEG C (where T1 DEG C represents the temperature at which
pyrolysis of the binding material starts, and T2 DEG C represents the temperature at which pyrolysis ends), a peak exists in an
ion chromatogram at any of the
mass numbers selected from at least 81, 100, 132 and 200, and, if the
peak area at T1 DEG C is denoted as X, and the
peak area at T2 DEG C is denoted as Y, X and Y satisfy the condition, 2X>= Y. When the binding material is analyzed by
thermogravimetry, the temperature at which pyrolysis of the binding material starts is the temperature at which, in the main
weight loss process, there is a 5% loss of weight during the
weight loss process. When the binding material is analyzed by
thermogravimetry, the temperature at which pyrolysis of the binding material ends is the temperature at which, in the main
weight loss process, there is a 95% loss of weight during the weight loss process. The
peak area is the area of the peak at the
mass number that provides the maximum area among
ion chromatographs extracted at mass numbers 81, 100, 132 and 200 in pyrolysis
gas chromatography mass spectrometry at a pyrolysis temperature of the binding material alone of (T1 + T2) / 2 DEG C.
