Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a layered double hydroxide (LDH) separator comprising a porous substrate made of a polymeric material; and a LDH with which pores of the porous substrate are plugged. A central region along the thickness of the LDH separator has a lower mean porosity than peripheral regions along the thickness of the LDH separator.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A layered double hydroxide (LDH) separator comprising a porous substrate made of a polymeric material; and a LDH with which pores of the porous substrate are plugged, wherein a central region along the thickness of the LDH separator has a lower mean porosity than peripheral regions along the thickness of the LDH separator. 2. The LDH separator according to claim 1 , wherein the peripheral regions have a mean porosity of 3% or more and the central region has a mean porosity of 2% or less. 3. The LDH separator according to claim 1 , wherein the peripheral regions have a mean porosity of 3 to 15% and the central region has a mean porosity of 1% or less. 4. The LDH separator according to claim 1 , wherein the LDH is incorporated over the entire thickness of the porous substrate. 5. The LDH separator according to claim 1 , having a helium permeability per unit area of 3.0 cm/atm·min or less. 6. The LDH separator according to claim 1 , having an ionic conductivity of 2.0 mS/cm or more. 7. The LDH separator according to claim 1 , wherein the polymeric material is selected from the group consisting of polystyrene, poly(ether sulfone), polypropylene, epoxy resin, poly(phenylene sulfide), fluorocarbon resin, cellulose, nylon, and polyethylene. 8. The LDH separator according to claim 1 , consisting of the porous substrate and the LDH. 9. A secondary zinc battery comprising the LDH separator according to claim 1 . 10. A solid-state alkaline fuel cell comprising the LDH separator according to claim 1 .
