Abstract

The following disclosure relates to a microporous polyolefin composite film having excellent heat resistance and thermal stability, and a method for manufacturing the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a microporous polyolefin composite film capable of improving stability and reliability of a battery by heat sealing an edge of a microporous film provided with a coating layer that includes a polymer binder and inorganic particles, and a method for manufacturing the same.

Claims (13)

1. A microporous polyolefin composite film comprising a coating layer including a polymer binder and inorganic particles on one surface or both surfaces of a microporous polyolefin film,

wherein the coating layer is formed to be spaced apart from an edge line of the single-layered microporous polyolefin film by a predetermined width, and a portion of the spaced portion is heat sealed, and

wherein the composite film has a shrinkage ratio of 10% or less at 160° C. and a melt fracture temperature of 190° C. or more, adhesion between the coating layer and the single-layered microporous polyolefin film is 1.0 Kg f /cm 2 or more, and permeability (Gurley) is 30 to 1000 seconds.

2. The microporous polyolefin composite film of claim 1 , wherein an area of the coating layer is 100% to 150% of an area of an anode plate, and a width of the heat sealing section is 0.5 to 50 mm from the edge line of the microporous polyolefin film.

3. The microporous polyolefin composite film of claim 1 , wherein a heat sealing temperature is 140 to 280° C., a heat sealing time is 1 to 20 seconds, and a heat sealing pressure is 0.1 to 2 MPa.

4. A method for manufacturing a microporous polyolefin composite film of claim 1 comprising:

(a) manufacturing a single-layered microporous polyolefin film;

(b) preparing a coating solution including a polymer binder and inorganic particles;

(c) applying the coating solution prepared in step (b) on one surface of the single-layered microporous polyolefin film manufactured in step (a) except for a portion of an edge of the single-layered microporous polyolefin film; and

(d) heat sealing the portion of the edge of the microporous film.

5. An electro-chemical device in which an electrode and the microporous polyolefin composite film of claim 1 contacting the electrode are adhered to each other by heat sealing.

6. The electro-chemical device of claim 5 , which is independently formed.

7. The electro-chemical device of claim 5 , wherein a plurality of electro-chemical devices are stacked.
