Abstract

To obtain a separator for a nonaqueous electrolyte battery that has an excellent nonaqueous electrolyte permeability into an electrode and an excellent electrolyte retentivity of the electrode and achieves a large capacity, a high energy density and a good high-temperature charge characteristic. A separator 3 used for a nonaqueous electrolyte battery is formed by disposing a porous layer 2 made of inorganic fine particles and a resin binder on a porous separator substrate 1 , the resin binder is made of at least one resin selected from the group consisting of polyimide resins, polyamide resins and polyamideimide resins and the molecular chain of the resin has a halogen atom content of 10% to 30% by weight, and the content of the resin binder in the porous layer is 5% by weight or more.

Claims (9)

1. A separator used for a nonaqueous electrolyte battery, wherein

the separator is formed by disposing a porous layer made of inorganic fine particles and a resin binder on a porous separator substrate,

the resin binder is made of at least one resin selected from the group consisting of polyimide resins, polyamide resins and polyamideimide resins and the molecular chain of the resin has a halogen atom content of 10% to 30% by weight,

the content of the resin binder in the porous layer is 5% to 15% by weight.

2. The separator for the nonaqueous electrolyte battery according to claim 1 , wherein the halogen atom is fluorine.

3. The separator for the nonaqueous electrolyte battery according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic fine particles are made of at least one selected from the group consisting of alumina and titania.

4. A nonaqueous electrolyte battery comprising: a positive electrode; a negative electrode; the separator according to claim 1 disposed between the positive and negative electrodes; and a nonaqueous electrolyte.

5. The nonaqueous electrolyte battery according to claim 4 , wherein the porous layer is disposed on the positive electrode side of the separator.

6. The nonaqueous electrolyte battery according to claim 4 , wherein the positive electrode is capable of being charged to above 4.40 V (vs. Li/Li + ).
