  • Patent number: 12199306
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a separator for an electrochemical device which uses polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as a dispersing agent, and provides high dispersibility of particles and prevents aggregation of particles, even when inorganic particles having a small particle diameter is used in slurry for forming a porous coating layer. Therefore, the inorganic particles are distributed homogeneously in the porous coating layer of a finished separator. In addition, since PVP is used with a fluorinated binder resin, the separator shows improved peel strength and adhesion to an electrode. Further, a non-solvent ingredient for the fluorinated binder resin is used as a solvent for PVP, and a non-solvent ingredient for PVP is used as a solvent for the fluorinated binder resin.

  • Patent number: 12132224
    Abstract: A separator for an electrochemical device. The separator includes a porous coating layer formed from an acid, which is crosslinkable. As a result, the separator has increased heat resistance, safety and physical strength, shows improved peel strength between the porous substrate and the porous coating layer, and prevents separation of the inorganic particles from the porous coating layer. In addition, the separator shows an improved crosslinking degree so that the added amount of a crosslinkable binder resin may be reduced. Thus, it is possible to increase the added amount of a non-crosslinkable resin, inorganic particles, or both. Even when using a small amount of a crosslinkable binder resin, it is possible to provide both an effect of improving heat resistance and an effect of improving adhesion.
