  • Patent number: 8062789
    Abstract: A lithium secondary battery including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator for separating the positive and negative electrodes, and a non-aqueous electrolyte. The separator includes a porous film formed of a mixture of a ceramic material and a binder, and the binder is formed of acrylic rubber having a three-dimensional crosslink structure. The separator provides excellent safety characteristics such as resistance to a short circuit and thermal resistance. Also, the separator improves a high-rate discharge characteristics and increases the life span.
