  • Publication number: 20200203690
    Abstract: A separator which includes: a porous polymer substrate having a plurality of pores; a separator base including a porous coating layer formed on at least one surface of the porous polymer substrate; and an adhesive layer formed on at least one surface of the separator base, said adhesive layer comprising a plurality of second inorganic particles and adhesive resin particles, wherein the weight ratio of the second inorganic particles to the adhesive resin particles is 5:95-60:40, and the diameter of the adhesive resin particles is 1.1-3.5 times the diameter of the second inorganic particles. An electrochemical device including the separator is also disclosed. The separator shows improved adhesion between an electrode and the separator, maintains the pores of the adhesive layer even after a process of electrode lamination, and improves the resistance of an electrochemical device.

  • Publication number: 20190348655
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electrode assembly including two electrodes having polarities opposite to each other, and a separator interposed between the two electrodes, wherein the separator includes: a separator base which includes a porous polymer substrate having a plurality of pores, and a porous coating layer; and an adhesive layer formed on at least one surface of the separator base, provided to face either of the electrodes and containing an adhesive resin, and wherein the adhesion (Peel Strength) between the porous polymer substrate and the porous coating layer and the adhesion (Lami Strength) between the adhesive layer and the electrode satisfy Mathematical Formula 1. An electrochemical device including the separator is also disclosed. In the electrode assembly, the separator shows increased resistance against scratching and the adhesion between the separator and the electrode can be improved.
