Separator and nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery
A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator has a short circuit prevention effect improved by controlling the shape of a dendrite. In the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator, when unevenness data of at least one surface of the separator is analyzed, kurtosis of a data group of heights from a reference level is not less than 5, and standard deviation of the data group of the heights from the reference level is not more than 12.
1. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator, wherein
the separator is a laminated separator comprising a porous layer and a polyolefin porous film,
when unevenness data of at least one surface of the porous layer of the separator is analyzed,
kurtosis of a data group of heights from a reference level is not less than 5, the kurtosis of the data group indicating a distribution curve sharper than a normal distribution curve when the kurtosis is not less than 0, and the kurtosis that is larger indicating a sharper distribution curve, and
standard deviation of the data group of the heights from the reference level is not more than 12.
2. The separator as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the porous layer contains a nitrogen-containing aromatic resin.
3. The separator as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the nitrogen-containing aromatic resin is an aramid resin.
4. The separator as set forth in claim 1 , wherein a compressive elastic modulus in a thickness direction is not less than 50 MPa.
