Abstract

A lithium ion secondary battery includes a positive electrode capable of absorbing and desorbing lithium ion, a negative electrode capable of absorbing and desorbing lithium ion, a porous film interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and a non-aqueous electrolyte: the porous film being adhered to a surface of at least one of the positive electrode and the negative electrode; the porous film including a filler and a resin binder; the resin binder content in the porous film being 1.5 to 8 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the filler; and the resin binder including an acrylonitrile unit, an acrylate unit, or a methacrylate unit.

Claims (30)

1. A lithium ion secondary battery comprising:

a positive electrode capable of absorbing and desorbing lithium ion;

a negative electrode capable of absorbing and desorbing lithium ion;

a porous film interposed between said positive electrode and said negative electrode; and

a non-aqueous electrolyte;

wherein said porous film is adhered to a surface of at least one of said positive electrode and said negative electrode,

said porous film comprises a filler and a resin binder,

a content of said resin binder in said porous film is 1.5 to 4 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of said filler, and

said resin binder comprises a plurality of resin binders including core-shell type rubber particles and other resin binder,

said rubber particles have an adhesive surface portion including at least an acrylonitrile unit, an acrylate unit, or a methacrylate unit,

said other resin binder comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of fluorocarbon resins, cellulose resins, and polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and

the ratio of said core-shell type rubber particles to the total amount of resin binders is 20 to 80 wt. %.

2. The lithium ion secondary battery in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said filler comprises a mixture of a large particle group and a small particle group, and an average particle size A of said large particle group and an average particle size B of said small particle group satisfy the formula (1):

0.05 ≦B/A ≦0.25.

3. The lithium ion secondary battery in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said filler includes at least Al 2 O 3 .

4. The lithium ion secondary battery in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said positive electrode and said negative electrode are wound interposing said porous film and a separator.

5. The lithium ion secondary battery in accordance with claim 1 , wherein an average pore size of micropores in said porous film obtained by a bubble-point method is 0.02 to 0.09 μm.

6. The lithium ion secondary battery in accordance with claim 5 , wherein said filler includes at least Al 2 O 3 .

7. The lithium ion secondary battery in accordance with claim 5 , wherein said positive electrode and said negative electrode are wound interposing said porous film and a separator.

8. The lithium ion secondary battery in accordance with claim 1 , wherein an elongating percentage of said porous film is 15% or more.

9. The lithium ion secondary battery in accordance with claim 8 , wherein said filler comprises a mixture of a large particle group and a small particle group, and an average particle size A of said large particle group and an average particle size B of said small particle group satisfy the formula (1):

0.05 ≦B/A ≦0.25.

10. The lithium ion secondary battery in accordance with claim 8 , wherein said filler includes at least Al 2 O 3 .

11. The lithium ion secondary battery in accordance with claim 8 , wherein said positive electrode and said negative electrode are wound interposing said porous film and a separator.

12. The lithium ion secondary battery in accordance with claim 1 , wherein an amount of said resin binder is smaller in a first surface side where said porous film is in contact with said surface of said electrode, and larger in a second surface side opposite to said first surface side.

13. The lithium ion secondary battery in accordance with claim 12 , wherein said filler includes at least Al 2 O 3 .

14. The lithium ion secondary battery in accordance with claim 12 , wherein said resin binder has a decomposing temperature of 250° C. or more.

15. The lithium ion secondary battery in accordance with claim 14 , wherein said resin binder has a crystalline melting point of 250° C. or more.

16. The lithium ion secondary battery in accordance with claim 12 , wherein said porous film comprises a single film, and an amount of said resin binder gradually increases from said first surface side toward said second surface side.

17. The lithium ion secondary battery in accordance with claim 12 , wherein said positive electrode and said negative electrode are wound interposing said porous film and a separator.
