In a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, a separator includes a substrate, a first filler layer disposed on one side of the substrate and containing phosphate salt particles, and a second filler layer disposed on the other side of the substrate and containing inorganic particles. The separator is disposed between a positive electrode and a negative electrode in such a manner that the side of the substrate which bears the first filler layer is directed to the positive electrode side.

Nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery including separator with filler layers on opposite sides of substrate

A separator for use in a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to the present invention comprises a porous substrate and a filler layer disposed upon the substrate. The filler layer includes phosphate particles and a reticulated polyvinylidene fluoride resin. The filler layer has a polyvinylidene fluoride resin content of 15 mass % to 40 mass %, inclusive. The D10 particle size (D) of the phosphate particles on a volume basis is 0.02 μm to 0.5 μm, inclusive, and is smaller than the average pore size of the pores in the substrate. The BET specific surface area of the phosphate particlesis 5 m/g to 100 m/g, inclusive.

Non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery

This non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprises a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The separator includes; a porous base material; a first filler layer which contains phosphate particles as a primary component and is arranged on one surface of the base material; and a second filler layer which is arranged on the other surface of the base material and which contains at least one type of compound selected from the group consisting of an aromatic polyamide, an aromatic polyimide and an aromatic polyamideimide. The BET specific surface area of the phosphate particles is 5-100 m/g. The content of the aforementioned compounds in the second filler layeris 15 mass % or more.

In a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery a separator includes a porous substrate, a first filler layer, and a second filler layer. The first filler layer comprises phosphate particles having a BET specific surface area of 5 to 100 m/g and polyvinylidene fluoride and is formed on a first surface that faces the positive electrode side of the substrate and contacts the positive electrode. The second filler comprises inorganic particles which have a melting point higher than that of the phosphate particles and is formed on at least one of a second surface that faces the negative electrode side of the substrate and the area between the substrate and the first filler layer. The content of the polyvinylidene fluoride in the first filler layer is 10 to 50 mass % and is higher in a region on the positive electrode side than in a region on the substrate side.

Nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery

A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The separator has a multilayer structure in which a first filler layer containing phosphate particles, a porous resin substrate, and a second filler layer containing inorganic particles having higher heat resistance than the phosphate particles are stacked in this order from the negative electrode side. The first filler layer is disposed on the porous resin substrate in such a manner that the surface of the first filler layer faces the surface of the negative electrode. The phosphate particles have a BET specific surface area in the range of 5 m/g or more and 100 m/g or less.
