providing a first mixture comprising a first solvent, a first binder and a conductive particle over a current collector to form a first layer comprising the first binder and the conductive particle;
forming a second mixture comprising a second solvent, a second binder and an active material particle;
adding perhydropolysilazane to the second mixture in order to form a third mixture;
providing the third mixture over the first layer;
volatilizing the second solvent in the third mixture under an atmosphere with lower humidity than air to form an active material layer;
exposing the active material layer to moisture; and
baking the active material layer to form a coating film covering at least part of a surface of the active material particle in the active material layer after exposing the active material layer to moisture,
wherein each of the first binder and the second binder comprises a functional group that is a least one of a carboxyl group, a carbonyl group and a hydroxy group, and
wherein any one of the steps of forming the third mixture and baking the third mixture includes gas generation by a reaction between the functional group in the second binder and the perhydropolysilazane.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the perhydropolysilazane is hydrolyzed by the baking.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive particle comprises carbon.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first binder and the second binder comprises a carboxyl group.

9. The method according to claim 7 ,
wherein a spectrum of the first binder in Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy includes a peak assigned to a carboxyl group, and
wherein the peak assigned to a carboxyl group after baking the second mixture has a weaker intensity than the peak assigned to a carboxyl group before adding the perhydropolysilazane.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the coating film is a spongy film.

11. A method for manufacturing an electrode, comprising the steps of:
providing a first mixture comprising a first solvent, a first binder and a conductive particle over a current collector to form a first layer comprising the first binder and the conductive particle;
forming a second mixture comprising a second solvent, a second binder and an active material particle;
adding perhydropolysilazane to the second mixture to form a third mixture;
providing the third mixture over the first layer;
volatilizing the second solvent in the third mixture under an atmosphere with lower humidity than air to form an active material layer;
exposing the active material layer to moisture; and
baking the active material layer under an atmosphere comprising moisture to produce silicon oxide from the perhydropolysilazane after exposing the active material layer to moisture,
wherein each of the first binder and the second binder comprises a carboxyl group, and
wherein any one of the steps of forming the third mixture and baking the third mixture includes gas generation by a reaction between the carboxyl group in the second binder and the perhydropolysilazane.
