Abstract

Provided is a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator including a porous film containing, as a main component, polyolefin having a weight average molecular weight of not less than 500,000, the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator having an MD orientation ratio of 58% to 80%, a degree of MD orientation of 70% to 80%, and a degree of TD orientation of 65% to 85%, the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator having a film thickness of not more than 14 μm, and the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator being excellent in shutdown temperature and puncture strength.

Claims (22)

1. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator comprising a porous film containing polyolefin in an amount of not less than 50% by volume, wherein the polyolefin has a weight average molecular weight of not less than 500,000 and has 0.1 branches to 0.9 branches per 1000 carbon atoms,

the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator having an MD orientation ratio of 58% to 80%, a degree of MD orientation of 70% to 80%, a degree of TD orientation of 65% to 85%, a film thickness of not more than 14 μm, and a shutdown temperature of 139.3° C. to 144° C.

2. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator has a Gurley air permeability of 50 sec/100 cc to 300 sec/100 cc.

3. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the polyolefin has an amount of heat of crystalline melting of 115 mJ/mg to 130 mJ/mg.

4. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator has a puncture strength of not less than 3.4 N.
