Provided are: a binder in which the interface resistance between a
current collector and an
electrode material layer in a positive
electrode of a
sodium ion battery is reduced and battery characteristics are improved; and an
electrode mixture, an electrode, and a secondary battery using the binder. A binder for a positive electrode of a
sodium ion battery, the binder containing a
copolymer having a vinylidene
fluoride unit (A) and a
structural unit (B) derived from at least one type of
monomer selected from the group consisting of trifluoroethylene,
hexafluoropropylene,
chlorotrifluoroethylene, a
monomer represented by general formula (1), a
monomer represented by general formula (2), and a monomer represented by general formula (3), and does not have a
tetrafluoroethylene unit. [Formula 1] # imgabs0 # (In the formula, Rf1 is a linear or branched fluorinated
alkyl group or fluorinated
alkoxy group having 1-12 carbon atoms, and when both the fluorinated
alkyl group and the fluorinated
alkoxy group have 2 or more carbon atoms, an
oxygen atom (-O-) may be included between carbon atoms. ) (In the formula, Rf2 is a linear or branched fluorinated
alkyl group or fluorinated
alkoxy group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and when both the fluorinated alkyl group and the fluorinated alkoxy group have 2 or more carbon atoms, an
oxygen atom (-O-) may be included between carbon atoms. ) [
chemical formula 3] # imgabs2 # (In the formula, R1, R2, and R3 are each independently a
hydrogen atom, a
chlorine atom, or an alkyl group having 1-5 carbon atoms. And X represents a
single bond or an
atomic group having a molecular weight of 500 or less and having a main chain comprising 1-20 atoms. And Y represents an inorganic cation and / or an organic cation).
