Abstract

A separator which includes a covering layer in which a fine framework of polyolefin resin is coated with a glass layer and an exposed layer in which the polyolefin resin is exposed is provided. A battery is provided having a cathode and an anode, an electrolyte, and a separator where the separator has the covering layer in which the fine framework of polyolefin resin is coated with the glass layer and a method for manufacturing a separator including the step of coating a fine framework of polyolefin resin with the glass layer by applying a precursor containing viscous liquid product which contains only polysilazane compound or a mixture of viscous liquid product which contains only polysilazane compound with polycarbosilazane compound to the polyolefin resin and placing the precursor applied polyolefin resin in a water bath to dry.

Claims (24)

1. A separator comprising:

a first layer; and

a second layer,

wherein the second layer includes a resin with a framework structure of 1 μm or less in diameter,

wherein the resin includes an aramid,

wherein a rate of hole area in a surface of the second layer is in the range from 30% to 45%, and

wherein an area density of the second layer is 0.124 mg/cm 2 or more and 0.358 mg/cm 2 or less.

2. The separator according to claim 1 , wherein the second layer further includes glass or PVdF (polyvinilidene fluoride).

3. The separator according to claim 1 , wherein the area density of the second layer is 0.19 mg/cm 2 or more and 0.24 mg/cm 2 or less.

4. A battery comprising:

a cathode;

an anode;

an electrolyte; and

a separator including a first layer and a second layer,

wherein the second layer includes a resin with a framework structure of 1 μm or less in diameter,

wherein the resin includes an aramid,

wherein a rate of hole area in a surface of the second layer is in the range from 30% to 45%, and

wherein an area density of the second layer is 0.124 mg/cm 2 or more and 0.358 mg/cm 2 or less.

5. The battery according to claim 4 , wherein the first layer includes a polyolefin resin.

6. The battery according to claim 4 , wherein the second layer further includes glass or PVdF (polyvinilidene fluoride).

7. The battery according to claim 4 , wherein the area density of the second layer is 0.19 mg/cm 2 or more and 0.24 mg/cm 2 or less.

8. The battery according to claim 4 , wherein an organic solvent is used as a solvent of the electrolyte.

9. The battery according to claim 4 , wherein an open circuit voltage in the fully charged state is within a range of 4.2 V to 4.6 V.

10. An electronic device including the battery according to claim 4 .
