  • Publication number: 20110165449
    Abstract: A battery separator (13) of the present invention includes a porous film (12) serving as a substrate and a crosslinked polymer layer (11) supported on the porous film (12). The crosslinked polymer layer (11) contains a crosslinked polymer and inorganic particles, and is non-porous. The crosslinked polymer is obtained by reacting a reactive polymer having a functional group in its molecule with a polyfunctional compound reactive with the functional group so as to crosslink at least a part of the reactive polymer. A lithium ion secondary battery of the present invention includes a positive electrode (14), a negative electrode (15), the battery separator (13) of the present invention disposed between the positive electrode (14) and the negative electrode (15), and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution. The battery separator (13) is disposed so that the porous film (12) faces the negative electrode (15) and the crosslinked polymer layer (11) faces the positive electrode (14).

  • Publication number: 20100239900
    Abstract: The invention provides a battery separator comprising a porous resin film and a crosslinked polymer supported thereon and having iminodiacetic acid groups in side chains of the polymer chains. The iminodiacetic acid group is preferably represented by the formula wherein M1 and M2 are each independently a hydrogen atom, a lithium atom, a potassium atom, a sodium atom, or triethylamine. It is preferred that the layer of the crosslinked polymer is substantially nonporous or solid, and ion conductive, and that the crosslinked polymer has in the molecule oxetanyl groups which are capable of cation polymerization.
