Abstract

A laminated body of the present invention includes: a porous film containing a polyolefin as a main component; and a porous layer containing a resin, the laminated body satisfying (A)>(B), where (A) represents the amount of an increase in the dielectric strength with respect to the amount of an increase in the amount of the resin contained per unit area of the porous layer, and (B) represents the amount of an increase in the dielectric strength with respect to the amount of an increase in the amount of the polyolefin contained per unit area of the porous film. The laminated body is usable as a secondary battery separator having a higher dielectric strength.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A laminated body, comprising:
a porous film containing a polyolefin as a main component; and
a porous layer laminated on one or both surfaces of the porous film, the porous layer containing a resin,
the resin including at least one selected from the group consisting of fluorine-containing resin and fluorine-containing rubber,
the porous film having a thickness within a range of not less than 4 μm and not more than 17 μm,
the porous film having a weight per unit area within a range of not less than 5 g/m 2 and not more than 12 g/m 2 ,
the porous layer having a weight per unit area within a range of not less than 0.1 g/m 2 and not more than 5 g/m 2 ,
the laminated body satisfying Formula (1) below,
( A )>( B )  (1),

where
(A) represents an amount (V·m 2 /g) of an increase in a dielectric strength of the porous layer with respect to an amount of an increase in an amount (g/m 2 ) of the resin contained per unit area of the porous layer, and
(B) represents an amount (V·m 2 /g) of an increase in a dielectric strength of the porous film with respect to an amount of an increase in an amount (g/m 2 ) of the polyolefin contained per unit area of the porous film,
the laminated body satisfying Formula (2) below,
( C )/( D )≦0.13  (2),

where
(C) represents an average pore diameter of the porous film, and
(D) represents a porosity of the porous film,
the average pore diameter (C) having a value in μm indicative of a mean value of respective sizes of pores in the porous film,
the porosity (D) having a value indicative of a volume proportion of void in the actual porous film with reference to a volume of the porous film assumed to have no void,
the average pore diameter (C) being measured with use of a palm porometer available from PMI Co., Ltd. (model: CFP-1500A), the measurement involving, as a test liquid, GalWick (product name) available from PMI Co., Ltd. and being made of curves (i) and (ii) below of the porous film, the average pore diameter (C) being calculated by Formula (3) below on a basis of a value of a pressure P corresponding to a point of intersection of the curves (i) and (ii) below,
(i) a pressure-flow rate curve for the porous base material as immersed in the test liquid, and
(ii) a pressure-flow rate curve, which is half a flow rate measured for the dry porous base material,
( C )=4 cos θ r/P   (3),

where (C) represents the average pore diameter (μm), r represents a surface tension (N/m) of the test liquid, P represents the pressure (Pa) corresponding to the point of the intersection, and θ represents an angle (°) of contact between the laminated body and the test liquid.

2. The laminated body according to claim 1 ,
wherein
the laminated body further satisfies (A)>2×(B).

3. The laminated body according to claim 1 ,
wherein
the resin is a polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer.

4. A separator for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery,
the separator comprising
a laminated body according to claim 1 .

5. A member for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery,
the member comprising in sequence:
a cathode;
a separator according to claim 4 ; and
an anode.

6. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, comprising
a separator according to claim 4 .
