Abstract

Microporous battery separator membranes, separators, batteries including such membranes, separators are provided. A battery separator for a secondary or rechargeable lithium battery may have low Electrical resistance of less than 0.95 ohm-cm. The inventive battery separator membrane may provide a means to achieve an improved level of battery performance in a rechargeable or secondary lithium battery based on a possibly synergistic combination of low Electrical resistance, low Gurley, low tortuosity, and/or a unique trapezoid shaped pore. Certain multilayer embodiments (by way of example only, a trilayer membrane made of two polypropylene layers with a polyethylene layer in between), the inventive microporous membrane or battery separator may have excellent onset and rate of thermal shutdown performance.
