Abstract

An aspect of the present invention achieves a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery laminated separator which has excellent heat resistance and exhibits an excellent initial battery characteristic when used in a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery laminated separator in accordance with an aspect of the present invention includes: a polyolefin porous film; and a porous layer which (i) is disposed on at least one surface of the polyolefin porous film and (ii) includes a heat resistant filler, the porous layer having a surface which has cracks, a ratio of a total area of the cracks to a surface area of the porous layer being 0.15% to 10%.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery laminated separator comprising:
a polyolefin porous film; and
a porous layer which (i) is disposed on at least one surface of the polyolefin porous film and (ii) includes a binder resin and a heat resistant filler,
the porous layer having a surface which has cracks,
a ratio of a total area of the cracks to a surface area of the porous layer being 0.15% to 10%,
the crack having a width of 0.5 to 5 μm, and
an amount of the heat resistant filler with respect to a total amount of the binder resin and the heat resistant filler in the porous layer is not less than 40 weight % and not more than 90 weight %.

2. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery laminated separator according to claim 1 , wherein the heat resistant filler includes at least one selected from the group consisting of an organic filler and an inorganic filler.

3. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery laminated separator according to claim 2 , wherein the organic filler includes a thermoplastic resin having heat resistance or a thermosetting resin.

4. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery laminated separator according to claim 2 , wherein the inorganic filler includes at least one compound selected from the group consisting of alumina, boehmite, aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium oxide, titanium oxide, and silica.

5. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery laminated separator according to claim 1 , wherein binder resin is selected from the group consisting of a polyolefin, a (meth)acrylate resin, a fluorine-containing resin, a polyamide resin, a polyester resin, and a water-soluble polymer.

6. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery laminated separator according to claim 5 , wherein the polyamide resin is an aramid resin.

7. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery member comprising:
a positive electrode;
the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery laminated separator according to claim 1 ; and
a negative electrode,
the positive electrode, the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery laminated separator, and the negative electrode being arranged in this order.

8. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising:
the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery laminated separator according to claim 1 .

9. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery laminated separator comprising:
a polyolefin porous film; and
a porous layer which (i) is disposed on at least one surface of the polyolefin porous film and (ii) includes a binder resin and a heat resistant filler,
the porous layer having a surface which has cracks,
a ratio of a total area of the cracks to a surface area of the porous layer being 0.15% to 10%,
wherein within a 230 μm×170 μm area of the surface of the porous layer, a total length of the cracks is 40.0 μm to 2000.0 μm.
