Abstract

A separator having a heat-resistant insulating layer of the present invention includes a porous resin base layer and a heat-resistant insulating layer which is formed on one or both sides of the porous resin base layer and contains inorganic particles and a binder. The porous resin base layer contains a resin having a melting temperature of 120° C. to 200° C. The separator is configured so that the ratio of the basis weight of the heat-resistant insulating layer to the basis weight of the porous resin base layer is not less than 0.5. Accordingly, the separator having a heat-resistant insulating layer of the present invention exhibits excellent thermal shrinkage resistance while ensuring a shutdown function.

Claims (15)

1. A separator having a heat-resistant insulating layer, comprising:

a porous resin base layer; and

a heat-resistant insulating layer which is provided on at least one side of the porous resin base layer and contains inorganic particles and a binder,

wherein the porous resin base layer contains a resin having a melting temperature of 120° C. to 200° C.,

a ratio of basis weight of the heat-resistant insulating layer to basis weight of the porous resin base layer is not less than 1.3, and

a peel strength between the porous resin base layer and the heat-resistant insulating layer is 10 mN/mm or less.

2. The separator having a heat-resistant insulating layer according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the basis weight of the heat-resistant insulating layer to the basis weight of the porous resin base layer is not more than 2.0.

3. The separator having a heat-resistant insulating layer according to claim 1 , wherein peel strength between the porous resin base layer and the heat-resistant insulating layer is not less than 0.1 mN/mm.

4. The separator having a heat-resistant insulating layer according to claim 3 , wherein the peel strength is not less than 2.0 mN/mm.

5. The separator having a heat-resistant insulating layer according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic particles include at least one selected from a group consisting of oxides, hydroxides, and nitrides of zirconium, aluminum, silicon, and titanium, and a mixture and a composite of the same.

6. The separator having a heat-resistant insulating layer according to claim 1 , wherein the material constituting the porous resin base layer includes at least one selected from a group consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, and ethylene-propylene copolymer.

7. The separator having a heat-resistant insulating layer according to claim 1 , wherein the porous resin base layer includes at least one selected from a group consisting of woven fabric, non-woven fabric, and microporous membrane.

8. An electric device, comprising the separator having the heat-resistant insulating layer according to claim 1 .

9. The separator having a heat-resistant insulating layer according to claim 2 , wherein the inorganic particles include zirconia.

10. The separator having a heat-resistant insulating layer according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic particles include silica.
