Abstract: Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a separator including a heat resistant layer containing a ceramic material. The ceramic material is derived from a ceramic precursor. The method for manufacturing a separator has high convenience of processing, since the ceramic precursor can be converted into an inorganic material at a temperature lower than the melting point of the binder. In addition, the separator obtained by the method includes a heat resistant layer in which inorganic particles are not localized, locally distributed or agglomerated, and the ceramic material converted from the ceramic precursor is distributed homogeneously throughout the whole heat resistant layer. Further, there is no limitation in thickness of the heat resistant layer resulting from the particle size of the inorganic particles, and thus it is possible to form the heat resistant layer in the form of a thin film with ease.
