  • Publication number: 20220278423
    Abstract: A battery separator 100 of one aspect of the present invention includes a sheet-shaped or film-shaped porous substrate 20 and an aliphatic polycarbonate containing layer 10 covering one surface or both surfaces of the substrate 20. According to this battery separator, since the aliphatic polycarbonate containing layer 10 covering one surface or both surfaces of the substrate 20 is provided, it is possible to reliably prevent or suppress deterioration of battery characteristics due to at least overdischarge. In addition, since the substrate 20 constitutes the battery separator 100 together with the aliphatic polycarbonate containing layer 10, the mechanical strength as a battery separator can be improved.
