Abstract

The present invention provides a propylene-based resin microporous film which has excellent electrolyte solution retention property, and can provide a lithium ion battery in which a decrease in discharge capacity is highly reduced even after repeated charge and discharge. The propylene-based resin microporous film is a propylene-based resin microporous film having micropores, wherein a propylene-based resin having a weight average molecular weight of 250,000 to 500,000, a melting point of 160 to 170° C., and a pentad fraction of 96% or more is contained, the surface aperture ratio is 27 to 42%, the ratio of a surface aperture ratio to a porosity is 0.6 or less, and the degree of gas permeability is 50 to 400 s/100 mL.

Claims (5)

1. A propylene-based resin microporous film having micropores, comprising a propylene-based resin having a weight average molecular weight of 250,000 to 500,000, a melting point of 160 to 170° C., and a pentad fraction of 96% or more, and having a surface aperture ratio of 27 to 42%, a ratio of a surface aperture ratio to a porosity of 0.6 or less, a degree of gas permeability of 50 to 400 s/100 mL, and an electrolyte solution retention amount of 0.90 g/cm 3 to 1.5 g/cm 3 .

2. The propylene-based resin microporous film according to claim 1 , wherein aperture edges of the micropores have a longest diameter of 100 nm to 1 μm and an average longer diameter of 10 to 500 nm.

3. A separator for a battery, comprising the propylene-based resin microporous film according to claim 1 .

4. A battery, comprising the separator for a battery according to claim 3 .

5. A propylene-based resin microporous film having micropores, comprising a propylene-based resin having a weight average molecular weight of 250,000 to 500,000, a melting point of 160 to 170° C., a pentad fraction of 96% or more and a molecular weight distribution (weight average molecular weight/number average molecular weight) of 7.5 to 12.0, and having a surface aperture ratio of 27 to 42%, a ratio of a surface aperture ratio to a porosity of 0.6 or less, and a degree of gas permeability of 50 to 400 s/100 mL.
