Abstract

To provide a non-aqueous secondary battery having a capacity as high as that of a conventional battery using a conventional resin separator and achieving excellent overcharge characteristics and excellent resistance to external short-circuit, a combined electrode plate for a spirally-wound electrode group for a non-aqueous secondary battery including a current collector, an active material layer carried on the current collector and a multi-layer porous membrane carried on the active material layer is used. The multi-layer porous membrane includes a first porous membrane and a second porous membrane. The first porous membrane contains metal oxide particles and a first binder. The second porous membrane contains resin particles and a second binder. The thickness of the multi-layer porous membrane is preferably 15 to 25 μm.

Claims (16)

1. A combined electrode plate for a spirally-wound electrode group for a non-aqueous secondary battery comprising a current collector, an active material layer carried on said current collector and a multi-layer porous membrane carried on said active material layer, wherein

said multi-layer porous membrane comprises a first porous membrane and a second porous membrane,

said first porous membrane comprises metal oxide particles and a first binder,

said second porous membrane comprises resin particles and a second binder,

said multi-layer porous membrane has a thickness of 15 to 25 μm,

said first porous membrane has a thickness of 2 to 15 μm,

said second porous membrane has a thickness of 2 to 15 μm,

primary particles of said metal oxide particles have an average particle size of 0.1 to 1 μm,

secondary particles of said metal oxide particles have an average particle size of 0.3 to 3 μm, and

said secondary particles comprise a cluster having an indefinite shape comprising a plurality of primary particles bonded together.

2. A non-aqueous secondary battery comprising a spirally-wound electrode group in which a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate are placed facing towards each other and spirally wound, wherein

at least one of said positive electrode plate and said negative electrode plate comprises the combined electrode plate in accordance with claim 1 .

3. The combined electrode plate for a spirally-wound electrode group for a non-aqueous secondary battery in accordance with claim 1 , wherein

primary particles of said resin particles have an average particle size of 0.01 to 1 μm.

4. The combined electrode plate for a spirally-wound electrode group for a non-aqueous secondary battery in accordance with claim 1 , wherein

said second binder is contained in said second porous membrane in an amount of 2 to 10 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of said resin particles.
