Abstract

A porous membrane is provided including a compound having a hydrophobic group and a nonionic hydrophilic group, an inorganic powder, and a binder resin.

Claims (19)

1. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator comprising a laminated porous film comprising a first and a second porous membrane that are different from each other, wherein the first and the second porous membranes are laminated, and wherein the first porous membrane comprises a compound having a hydrophobic group and a nonionic hydrophilic group, an inorganic powder, and a binder resin,

wherein a content of the inorganic powder is at least 50% by mass and 99% by mass or less based on 100% by mass of the first porous membrane,

wherein the first porous membrane has a mass per unit area of 4 g/m 2 to 20 g/m 2 ,

wherein the laminated porous film has a moisture content of less than 0.15% by mass and a membrane resistance of 0.25 Ω⋅cm 2 to 5.00 Ω⋅cm 2 , and

wherein the laminated porous film has a thickness of 5 μm to 75 μm and a volume per unit area of 0.5 cc/m 2 to 20 cc/m 2 .

2. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator according to claim 1 .

3. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator according to claim 1 , wherein the compound having a hydrophobic group and a nonionic hydrophilic group is a nonionic surfactant.

4. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic powder is a metal oxide, a metal hydroxide, or a metal carbonate.

5. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator according to claim 1 , wherein the nonionic hydrophilic group has a polyoxyethylene structure.

6. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator according to claim 1 , wherein the binder resin is a water-soluble resin.

7. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator according to claim 6 , wherein the binder is a cellulose ether.

8. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrophobic group is a hydrocarbon group.

9. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator according to claim 1 , wherein the first porous membrane has a moisture content of less than 0.15% by mass.

10. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the compound having a hydrophobic group and a nonionic hydrophilic group in the first porous membrane is 0.05 to 10 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the inorganic powder.

11. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator according to claim 1 , wherein the second porous membrane comprises a polyolefin.

12. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the first porous membrane is 0.1 μm to 20 μm.

13. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator according to claim 1 , wherein the first porous membrane has a porosity of 20% by volume to 80% by volume.

14. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator according to claim 1 , wherein the first porous membrane has an air permeability of 30 sec/100 cc to 1000 sec/100 cc.

15. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator according to claim 1 , wherein the laminated porous film has an air permeability of 50 sec/100 cc to 2000 sec/100 cc.
