Abstract

A liquid composition includes particles and a solvent, wherein a contact angle of the liquid composition with respect to a substrate is greater than a contact angle of the solvent with respect to the substrate, and the contact angle of the substrate with respect to water observed 9 seconds after the substrate comes into contact with the water is 45 degrees to 75 degrees.

Claims (28)

1. A liquid composition, comprising:

particles; and

a solvent,

wherein a contact angle of the liquid composition with respect to a substrate is greater than a contact angle of the solvent with respect to the substrate, and

the contact angle of the substrate with respect to water observed 9 seconds after the substrate comes into contact with the water is 45 degrees to 75 degrees,

wherein when the substrate has a porous structure,

the contact angle of the liquid composition with respect to the substrate is greater than the contact angle of the solvent with respect to the substrate by 5 degrees or more, and

both the contact angle of the liquid composition and the contact angle of the solvent are defined as either a contact angle observed 9 seconds after contact with the substrate or a contact angle observed 20 seconds after contact with the substrate, and

wherein when the substrate does not have a porous structure,

the contact angle of the liquid composition with respect to the substrate is greater than the contact angle of the solvent with respect to the substrate by 0.5 degrees or more, and

wherein both the contact angle of the liquid composition and the contact angle of the solvent are defined as either a contact angle observed 9 seconds after contact with the substrate or a contact angle observed 20 seconds after contact with the substrate.

2. The liquid composition according to claim 1 , wherein the particles include inorganic particles.

3. A liquid composition, comprising:

particles; and

a solvent,

wherein a polarity parameter SPp of Hansen solubility parameter of the solvent is 13 (mJ/m 3 ) 0.5 or less,

wherein when a substrate contacted with the liquid composition has a porous structure

a contact angle of the liquid composition with respect to the substrate is greater than a contact angle of the solvent with respect to the substrate by 5 degrees or more, and

both the contact angle of the liquid composition and the contact angle of the solvent are defined as either a contact angle observed 9 seconds after contact with the substrate or a contact angle observed 20 seconds after contact with the substrate, and

wherein when the substrate contacted with the liquid composition does not have a porous structure,

the contact angle of the liquid composition with respect to the substrate is greater than the contact angle of the solvent with respect to the substrate by 0.5 degrees or more, and

wherein both the contact angle of the liquid composition and the contact angle of the solvent are defined as either a contact angle observed 9 seconds after contact with the substrate or a contact angle observed 20 seconds after contact with the substrate.

4. The liquid composition according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid composition is white ink.

5. The liquid composition according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid composition is used for producing an electrode integrated with a separator.

6. The liquid composition according to claim 1 , wherein the solvent is selected from the group consisting of isopropyl alcohol (IPA)/2 pyrrolidone; IPA/hexylene glycol (HG); ethyl lactate (EL); EL/HG; 2-butanone (MEK)/HG; 2-heptanone/HG; diacetone alcohol (DAA); DAA/HG; dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/ethylene glycol (EG); and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP)/EG.

7. The liquid composition according to claim 3 , wherein the solvent is selected from the group consisting of isopropyl alcohol (IPA)/2 pyrrolidone; IPA/hexylene glycol (HG); ethyl lactate (EL); EL/HG; 2-butanone (MEK)/HG; 2-heptanone/HG; diacetone alcohol (DAA); DAA/HG; dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/ethylene glycol (EG); and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP)/EG.

8. The liquid composition according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the particles is 30 to 40%.

9. The liquid composition according to claim 3 , wherein SPd value of the solvent is between 15 (mJ/m 3 ) 0.5 and 20 (mJ/m 3 ) 0.5 .
