|1− T/M|   Formula (1),

and the polyvinylidene fluoride-based resin containing an α-form polyvinylidene fluoride-based resin in an amount of not less than 35.0 mol %.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, comprising:
a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator including a polyolefin porous film;
a porous layer containing a polyvinylidene fluoride-based resin;
a positive electrode plate; and
a negative electrode plate,
in a case where the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate have each been processed into a disk having a diameter of 15.5 mm and immersed in a solution of ethylene carbonate, ethyl methyl carbonate, and diethyl carbonate which solution contains LiPF 6 at a concentration of 1 M, a sum of respective interface barrier energies measured of a positive electrode active material and a negative electrode active material being not less than 5000 J/mol,
the polyolefin porous film having a puncture strength of not less than 26.0 gf/g/m 2 for a weight per unit area,
the polyolefin porous film having a value represented by Formula (1) below which value is not less than 0.00 and not more than 0.54,
|1− T/M|   (1)

where T represents a critical load distance in a TD in a scratch test under a constant load of 0.1 N, and M represents a critical load distance in an MD in a scratch test under a constant load of 0.1 N,
the porous layer being between (i) the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator and (ii) at least one of the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate,
the polyvinylidene fluoride-based resin containing an α-form polyvinylidene fluoride-based resin in an amount of not less than 35.0 mol % with respect to 100 mol % of a combined amount of the α-form polyvinylidene fluoride-based resin and a β-form polyvinylidene fluoride-based resin both contained in the polyvinylidene fluoride-based resin,
the amount of the α-form polyvinylidene fluoride-based resin being calculated by (i) waveform separation of (α/2) observed at around −78 ppm in a 19 F-NMR spectrum obtained from the porous layer and (ii) waveform separation of {(α/2)+β} observed at around −95 ppm in the 19 F-NMR spectrum.

2. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein
the positive electrode plate contains a transition metal oxide.

3. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein
the negative electrode plate contains a graphite.

4. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , further comprising:
another porous layer which is provided between (i) the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator and (ii) at least one of the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate.

5. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 4 , wherein
the another porous layer contains at least one resin selected from the group consisting of a polyolefin, a (meth)acrylate-based resin, a fluorine-containing resin (excluding a polyvinylidene fluoride-based resin), a polyamide-based resin, a polyester-based resin, and a water-soluble polymer.

6. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 5 , wherein
the polyamide-based resin is aramid resin.
