Abstract: Disclosed are a separator for a rechargeable lithium battery and a rechargeable lithium battery including the same. Specifically, in an embodiment, the separator for a rechargeable lithium battery includes a substrate, a heat resistant layer and an adhesive layer sequentially on one surface of the substrate; wherein the heat resistant layer includes heterogeneous particles having different shapes; and the adhesive layer includes an adhesive binder.

Abstract: Disclosed are a separator for a rechargeable lithium battery and a rechargeable lithium battery including the same. The separator for a rechargeable lithium battery includes a substrate and a heat resistant layer on at least one surface of the substrate, wherein the heat resistant layer includes heterogeneous particles having different shapes, shutdown filler at least one of under, inside, or on the heat resistant layer.

Abstract: Example embodiments include a binder, a separator including the binder, and a rechargeable lithium battery including the separator, the binder including a first structural unit derived from (meth)acrylic acid, (meth)acrylate, or a salt thereof, a second structural unit derived from hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate, and a third structural unit derived from (meth)acrylamidosulfonic acid or a salt thereof.

Abstract: A separator for a rechargeable lithium battery and a rechargeable lithium battery including the same are disclosed. Specifically, provided is a separator for a rechargeable lithium battery including a substrate and a coating layer on at least one surface of the substrate; the coating layer includes three-dimensional structured particles including an organic filler; and wire-type particles.

Abstract: This application relates to a coating layer composition and a coating layer formed using the coating layer composition. The coating layer composition includes a heat-resistant binder, a hydroxy group-containing polyimide particle, a silane cross-linking agent, and a solvent. The hydroxy group-containing polyimide particle and the functional group-containing silane cross-linking agent form a core-shell structured organic particle in which a core portion is derived from the hydroxy group-containing polyimide particles and a shell portion that is derived from the functional group-containing silane cross-linking agent. The shell portion is on the surface of the core portion in the core-shell structured organic particle. The application also relates to a separator for a rechargeable lithium battery and a rechargeable lithium battery including the separator having a coating layer formed using the coating layer composition.

Abstract: Provided are a separator coating composition, a method of manufacturing a separator using the same, and a separator and a lithium battery using the same. The separator coating composition includes a binder containing an aqueous crosslinking reactive poly(vinylamide)-based copolymer, a crosslinking agent having at least bifunctionality, inorganic particles, and water, wherein the poly(vinylamide)-based copolymer includes a repeating unit derived from a vinylamide monomer and a repeating unit derived from a crosslinking reactive group-containing monomer. The separator coating composition may be used to prepare a separator capable of exhibiting high heat resistance even at a thinner coating thickness.
