Process for producing cathodesProcess for producing cathodes comprising a cathode material comprising (A) at least one lithiated transition metal mixed oxide, (B) carbon in an electrically conductive modification, (C) at least one binder, and also (D) at least one film, wherein (a) a mixture comprising lithiated transition metal mixed oxide (A), carbon (B) and binder (C) is applied to film (D), (b) dried, (c) compacted to such an extent that the cathode material has a density of at least 1.8 g/cm3 to obtain a compacted blank and (d) after compaction as per (c) thermally treated at a temperature in the range from 35° C. below the melting point or the softening point of binder (C) to a maximum of 5° C. below the melting point or the softening point of binder (C).
