Abstract

A separator for a non-aqueous secondary battery contains: a porous layer that is provided on only one side of the porous substrate, and that contains a resin having at least one bonding group selected from an amide bond, an imide bond, and a sulfonyl bond, in which, in the porous substrate, an absolute value of a difference between a temperature of an endothermic peak observed at 120° C. to 145° C., in a temperature raising process 1, and a temperature of an endothermic peak observed at 120° C. to 145° C., in a temperature raising process 2, is 1.50° C. or higher in DSC measurement when the temperature raising process 1 of continuously raising the temperature from 30° C. to 200° C. at a temperature change rate of 5° C./min in a nitrogen atmosphere, and the temperature raising process 2 of lowering the temperature from 200° C. to 30° C. and raising the temperature from 30° C. to 200° C., are performed.

Claims (22)

1 . A separator for a non-aqueous secondary battery, the separator comprising:

a porous substrate including a polyethylene microporous film; and

a porous layer that is provided on only one side of the porous substrate, and that contains a resin having at least one bonding group selected from the group consisting of an amide bond, an imide bond, and a sulfonyl bond,

wherein, the porous substrate has a crystalline structure, and in the porous substrate, an absolute value of a difference between a temperature of an endothermic peak observed at from 120° C. to 145° C., in a temperature raising process 1, and a temperature of an endothermic peak observed at from 120° C. to 145° C., in a temperature raising process 2, is from 1.50° C. to 5° C., in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement,

wherein the DSC measurements are performed continuously by raising the temperature from 30° C. to 200° C. at a temperature change rate of 5° C./min in a nitrogen atmosphere as the temperature raising process 1, lowering the temperature from 200° C. to 30° C. and raising the temperature from 30° C. to 200° C., as the temperature raising process 2, without providing a pause time between the temperature raising process 1 and the lowering, and between the lowering and the temperature raising process 2, and
