Abstract

The present disclosure provides a heat-diffusible separator including a separator, and a porous heat transfer film formed on at least one surface of the separator.

Claims (16)

1. A heat-diffusible separator, comprising:

a porous polymer substrate;

a porous coating layer disposed on at least one surface of the porous polymer substrate, wherein the porous coating layer comprises inorganic particles and a binder polymer; and

a porous heat transfer film disposed on a surface of the porous coating layer,

wherein the porous heat transfer film has a greater value of heat conductivity in a surface direction than that of heat conductivity in a thickness direction.

2. The heat-diffusible separator of claim 1 , wherein heat conductivity of the porous heat transfer film in a surface direction is 20 times greater than heat conductivity in a thickness direction.

3. The heat-diffusible separator of claim 1 , wherein the pores of the porous heat transfer film are connected with each other.

4. The heat-diffusible separator of claim 1 , wherein the pores of the porous heat transfer film are not connected to each other.

5. The heat-diffusible separator of claim 1 , wherein the porous heat transfer film comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of graphite, carbon nano-tube and carbon nano-fabric.

6. The heat-diffusible separator of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic particles having a size ranging from 0.001 μm to 10 μm.

7. The heat-diffusible separator of claim 1 , wherein the pores of the porous coating layer are interstitial volumes formed between the inorganic particles.

8. The heat-diffusible separator of claim 1 , wherein the porous heat transfer film is a perforated graphite sheet.

9. The heat-diffusible separator of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic particles have a dielectric constant of 5 or higher, or have lithium ion transfer ability.

10. The heat-diffusible separator of claim 1 , wherein a size ratio between pores of the porous polymer substrate and pores of the porous heat transfer film range from 0.005:1 to 0.05:1.

11. The heat-diffusible separator of claim 1 , wherein the porous heat transfer film comprises exfoliated graphite and a PVDF-based binder.

12. A secondary battery comprising the heat-diffusible separator according to claim 1 .
