Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A separator for electrochemical element, comprising a porous sheet that contains as a main fiber, a fibrillated solvent spun cellulose fiber with an average fiber length of 0.40 to 1.10 mm, has an average internal bond strength of 60 mJ or more in a thickness direction, and has a lowest internal bond strength of 30 mJ or more in the thickness direction, a process for producing the separator, and an electrochemical element using the separator. The separator for electrochemical element has strong mechanical strength and excellent processability.

First claim

What is claimed is: 1. A separator for electrochemical element, comprising a porous sheet that contains as a main fiber, a fibrillated solvent spun cellulose fiber with an average fiber length of 0.40 to 1.10 mm, has an average internal bond strength of 60 mJ or more in a thickness direction, and has a lowest internal bond strength of 30 mJ or more in the thickness direction. 2. A process for producing a separator for electrochemical element, comprising a porous sheet that contains as a main fiber, a fibrillated solvent spun cellulose fiber with an average fiber length of 0.40 to 1.10 mm, has an average internal bond strength of 60 mJ or more in a thickness direction, and has a lowest internal bond strength of 30 mJ or more in the thickness direction, wherein the porous sheet is prepared by a paper-making method, in which a wet press treatment of two or more nips is performed at least on the porous sheet. 3. A process for producing a separator for electrochemical element, comprising a porous sheet that contains as a main fiber, a fibrillated solvent spun cellulose fiber with an average fiber length of 0.40 to 1.10 mm, has an average internal bond strength of 60 mJ or more in a thickness direction, and has a lowest internal bond strength of 30 mJ or more in the thickness direction, wherein the porous sheet is prepared by a paper-making method, in which both surfaces of the porous sheet are contacted with a heated cylinder roll at least once. 4. A separator for electrochemical element produced by the process for producing the separator for electrochemical element recited in claim 2 . 5. An electrochemical element comprising the separator for electrochemical element recited in claim 1 . 6. A separator for electrochemical element produced by the process for producing the separator for electrochemical element recited in claim 3 . 7. An electrochemical element comprising the separator for electrochemical element recited in claim 4 . 8. An electrochemical element comprising the separator for electrochemical element recited in claim 6 .
