Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery has improved battery cycle durability and suppresses internal short-circuits. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a power generating element having a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator including a resin film having a three-layer structure, a ratio of a rated capacity to a pore volume of a positive electrode active material layer being 2.08 Ah/cc or more, a ratio of a battery area to a rated capacity being 7 cm 2 /Ah or more, and a rated capacity being 50 Ah or more, in which a value R represented by Formula 1 is 62 to 110: R = Tortuosity ⁢ ⁢ factor × Thickness ⁢ [ µm ] Porosity ( Formula ⁢ ⁢ 1 ) provided that, the average pore diameter is 0.10 to 0.18 μm, the porosity is 0.43 to 0.65, the air permeability is 140 to 305 sec/100 ml, and the thickness is 11 to 25 μm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising a power generating element including a positive electrode obtained by forming a positive electrode active material layer containing a positive electrode active material on a surface of a positive electrode current collector, a negative electrode obtained by forming a negative electrode active material layer containing a negative electrode active material on a surface of a negative electrode current collector, and a separator including a resin film having a three-layer structure, a ratio of a rated capacity to a pore volume of the positive electrode active material layer being 2.08 Ah/cc or more, a ratio of a battery area to a rated capacity being 7 cm 2 /Ah or more, and a rated capacity being 50 Ah or more, wherein a value R of the separator represented by the following Formula 1 is 62 to 110: R = Tortuosity ⁢ ⁢ factor × Thickness ⁢ [ µm ] Porosity ( Formula ⁢ ⁢ 1 ) provided that, in Formula 1, a tortuosity factor is a value represented by the following Formula 2: Tortuosity ⁢ ⁢ factor = Air ⁢ ⁢ permeability ⁢ [ sec / 100 ⁢ ⁢ ml ] × Average ⁢ ⁢ pore ⁢ ⁢ diameter ⁢ [ µm ] × Porosity Thickness ⁢ [ µm ] × 25 × 5.18 × 10 - 3 ( Formula ⁢ ⁢ 2 ) the average pore diameter is 0.10 to 0.18 μm, the porosity is 0.43 to 0.65, the air permeability is 140 to 305 sec/100 ml, and the thickness is 11 to 25 μm. 2. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the R is 91 to 110. 3. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the R is 81 to 90. 4. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the R is 62 to 80. 5. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the separator has a laminate structure of the resin film and a heat resistant insulating layer. 6. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein a constituent of the resin film is at least one of polypropylene and polyethylene. 7. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is a flat stack type laminate battery obtained by sealing the power generating element in a battery outer casing body formed of a laminate film containing aluminum.
