The polyolefin microporous membrane includes a polyolefin resin, where the polyolefin resin contains at least 80 mass % polypropylene resin, and where the polyolefin microporous membrane has a maximum pore size of less than 30.0 nm and a mean flow pore size of less than 20.0 nm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A polyolefin microporous membrane comprising a polyolefin resin, wherein the polyolefin resin contains at least 80 mass % polypropylene resin, and wherein the polyolefin microporous membrane has a maximum pore size of less than 30.0 nm and a mean pore size of less than 20.0 nm. 2. The polyolefin microporous membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the polyolefin resin contains at least 90 mass % polypropylene resin, and an impedance of the polyolefin microporous membrane is no greater than 15.0 Ω·cm 2 . 3. The polyolefin microporous membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the maximum pore size on a surface of the polyolefin microporous membrane is 300 nm or less. 4. The polyolefin microporous membrane according to claim 1 , wherein an average molecular weight of the polypropylene resin is between about 1×10 5 and about 1×10 8 . 5. The polyolefin microporous membrane according to claim 1 , wherein a porosity of the polyolefin microporous membrane is between about 20% and about 80%. 6. The polyolefin microporous membrane according to claim 1 , wherein, a membrane thickness of the polyolefin microporous membrane is 20 and an air permeation resistance of the polyolefin microporous membrane is 300 sec/100 cc or greater. 7. A battery separator comprising a polyolefin microporous membrane comprising a polyolefin resin, wherein the polyolefin resin contains at least 80 mass % polypropylene resin, wherein the polyolefin microporous membrane has a maximum pore size of less than 30.0 nm and a mean pore size of less than 20.0 nm. 8. The battery separator according to claim 7 , wherein the battery separator is a non-aqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery separator. 9. A rechargeable battery comprising a battery separator comprising a polyolefin microporous membrane comprising a polyolefin resin, wherein the polyolefin resin contains at least 80 mass % polypropylene resin, wherein the polyolefin microporous membrane has a maximum pore size of less than 30.0 nm and a mean pore size of less than 20.0 nm.
