  • Patent number: 12683246
    Abstract: A separator for a non-aqueous secondary battery contains: a porous layer that is provided on only one side of the porous substrate, and that contains a resin having at least one bonding group selected from an amide bond, an imide bond, and a sulfonyl bond, in which, in the porous substrate, an absolute value of a difference between a temperature of an endothermic peak observed at 120° C. to 145° C., in a temperature raising process 1, and a temperature of an endothermic peak observed at 120° C. to 145° C., in a temperature raising process 2, is 1.50° C. or higher in DSC measurement when the temperature raising process 1 of continuously raising the temperature from 30° C. to 200° C. at a temperature change rate of 5° C./min in a nitrogen atmosphere, and the temperature raising process 2 of lowering the temperature from 200° C. to 30° C. and raising the temperature from 30° C. to 200° C., are performed.
