Abstract

Provided is a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator that has (i) an excellent ion permeability and (ii) reduced occurrence of a leak defect despite a small thickness. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator includes a porous film containing polyolefin as a main component, the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator having a Gurley value within a range of 50 sec/100 cc to 200 sec/100 cc, the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator having a thickness within a range of 3 μm to 16 μm, the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator satisfying 0.85≤((S MD /S m )+(S TD /S m ))/2≤0.91.

Claims (26)

1. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator comprising a porous film containing polyolefin in an amount of not less than 50% by volume,

the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator having a Gurley value within a range of 50 sec/100 cc to 200 sec/100 cc,

the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator having a thickness within a range of 3 μm to 16 μm,

the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator satisfying Formula (1) below:

0.85≤(( S MD /S m )+( S TD /S m ))/2≤0.91  Formula (1),

where

S m is an area of a peak of a sheet-stack DSC curve, which is a DSC curve that shows a result of measurement for a stack of pieces each cut out from the porous film and having a predetermined size,

S MD is an area of a portion at which the peak of the sheet-stack DSC curve overlaps a peak of a DSC curve that shows a result of measurement for a sample that has been (i) cut out from the porous film into a shape of a strip having a length of 50 mm and a longitudinal direction along an MD direction and (ii) wound around an aluminum plate having a width of 1.5 mm and a thickness of 0.1 mm so as to have 14 to 16 turns, and

S TD is an area of a portion at which the peak of the sheet-stack DSC curve overlaps a peak of a DSC curve that shows a result of measurement for a sample that has been (i) cut out from the porous film into a shape of a strip having a length of 50 mm and a longitudinal direction along a TD direction and (ii) wound around an aluminum plate having a width of 1.5 mm and a thickness of 0.1 mm so as to have 14 to 16 turns.

2. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery member, comprising:

a cathode;

a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator according to claim 1 ; and

an anode,

the cathode, the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator, and the anode being arranged in this order.

3. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, comprising:

a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator according to claim 1 .

4. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery laminated separator, comprising:

a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator according to claim 1 ; and

a porous layer.

5. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery member, comprising:

a cathode;

a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery laminated separator according to claim 4 ; and

an anode,

the cathode, the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery laminated separator, and the anode being arranged in this order.

6. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, comprising:

a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery laminated separator according to claim 4 .
