Abstract

A polyolefin micro-porous film containing a polypropylene resin, in which a meltdown temperature of the polyolefin micro-porous film is 195° C. to 230° C. A weight-average molecular weight of the polypropylene resin is 500,000 to 800,000. Furthermore, a molecular weight distribution of the polypropylene resin is 7.5 to 16.

Claims (30)

1. A polyolefin micro-porous film, comprising:

a polypropylene resin and a polyethylene resin,

wherein the polyolefin micro-porous film has a laminated structure in which an intermediate layer is formed of the polyethylene resin and a surface layer is formed of the polypropylene resin,

a meltdown temperature of the polyolefin micro-porous film is 195° C. to 230° C.,

a zeroshear viscosity of the polypropylene resin under a condition of 200° C. is 13,000 to 20,000 Pa·s,

the melting point of the polyethylene resin is in a range of 125° C. to 140° C., the weight-average molecular weight of the polyethylene resin is in a range of 220,000 to 400.000, and the molecular weight distribution is in a range of 6 to 15,

a surface opening ratio is in the range of 10% to less than 25%,

and a porosity is in the range of 30% to 70%.

2. The polyolefin micro-porous film according to claim 1 ,

wherein a weight-average molecular weight of the polypropylene resin is 500,000 to 800,000,

wherein, the weight-average molecular weight is a value in terms of polystyrene obtained by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).

3. The polyolefin micro-porous film according to claim 2 , wherein a molecular weight distribution of the polypropylene resin is 7.5 to 16.

4. The polyolefin micro-porous film according claim 1 ,

wherein a withstand voltage per unit area is 3 kV/m 2 or more,

wherein, the withstand voltage per unit area is a value obtained by measuring a voltage that is insufficient to conduct in a short circuit test by applying the voltage to a test piece having a size of 10 cm×100 cm.

5. A separator film for a power-storage device, comprising the polyolefin micro-porous film according to claim 1 .

6. The separator film for a power-storage device according to claim 5 , wherein:

a heat-resistant porous layer is laminated on one side or both sides of the polyolefin micro-porous film;

the heat-resistant porous layer includes heat-resistant fine particles and an organic binder;

a content of the heat-resistant fine particles is in a range of 80 wt % to 99 wt % with respect to the heat-resistant porous layer; and

wherein a thickness of the heat-resistant fine porous layer is in a range of 2 μm to 10 μm.

7. A power-storage device, comprising:

the separator film for a power-storage device according to claim 5 ;

a positive electrode; and

a negative electrode.

8. A power-storage device, comprising:

the separator film for a power-storage device according to claim 6 ;

a positive electrode; and

a negative electrode.

9. The polyolefin micro-porous film according to claim 1 , wherein withstand voltage per unit area is 5 kV/m 2 or more.
