Abstract

A lithium-ion secondary battery separator has a porous structure formed by laminating a second polymer layer, a first polymer layer, and a second polymer layer in sequence. The second polymer layer has a melting point lower than that of the first polymer layer. The second polymer layer has a higher molecular part formed on a side in contact with the first polymer layer and a lower molecular part formed on a side farther from the first polymer layer than is the higher molecular part. The higher and lower molecular parts have a weight-average molecular weight ratio (higher molecular part/lower molecular part) of 4 to 19 therebetween.

Claims (11)

1. A lithium-ion secondary battery separator having a porous structure formed by laminating a second polymer layer, a first polymer layer, and a second polymer layer in sequence; wherein

the second polymer layer has a melting point lower than that of the first polymer layer;

the second polymer layer has a first part formed on a side in contact with the first polymer layer and a second part formed on a side farther from the first polymer layer than is the first part;

the first part and the second part have a weight-average molecular weight ratio (first part/second part) of 4 to 19 therebetween;

a film of the second part is laminated on a film of the first part;

the second polymer layer is a layer constituted by at least one kind of polymer material selected from the group consisting of polyethylene and polypropylene; and

the first polymer layer is a layer constituted by at least one kind of polymer material selected from the group consisting of polyacrylonitrile, polyamide-imide, polyvinyl alcohol, and thermoplastic polyimide.

2. The lithium-ion secondary battery separator according to claim 1 , wherein the second polymer layer and the first polymer layer have a film thickness ratio (second polymer layer/first polymer layer) of 0.1 to 1 therebetween.

3. The lithium-ion secondary battery separator according to claim 1 , wherein the second part and the first part in the second polymer layer have a mass ratio (second part:first part) of 0.2:1.8 to 1.5:0.5 therebetween.

4. A lithium-ion secondary battery comprising the lithium-ion secondary battery separator according to claim 1 .

5. The lithium-ion secondary battery separator according to claim 1 , wherein the first part is a part constituted by polypropylene and the second part is a part constituted by polyethylene.
