  • Publication number: 20200251744
    Abstract: A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The separator has a multilayer structure in which a first filler layer containing phosphate particles, a porous resin substrate, and a second filler layer containing inorganic particles having higher heat resistance than the phosphate particles are stacked in this order from the negative electrode side. The first filler layer is disposed on the porous resin substrate in such a manner that the surface of the first filler layer faces the surface of the negative electrode. The phosphate particles have a BET specific surface area in the range of 5 m2/g or more and 100 m2/g or less.

  • Publication number: 20200243827
    Abstract: In a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, a separator includes a substrate, a first filler layer disposed on one side of the substrate and containing phosphate salt particles, and a second filler layer disposed on the other side of the substrate and containing inorganic particles. The separator is disposed between a positive electrode and a negative electrode in such a manner that the side of the substrate which bears the first filler layer is directed to the positive electrode side.

  • Publication number: 20110159344
    Abstract: According to the invention, there can be provided a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary cell whose capacity is hardly decreased even stored at high temperatures in a charged state. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary cell uses an insulation adhesive tape composed of a base material and a glue material. And in an absorbance spectra of the glue material measured using an infrared spectrophotometer so that the maximum peak intensity is 5 to 20% in transmittance, when peak intensities for C—H stretching vibration of 3040 to 2835 cm?1 and C?O stretching vibration of 1870 to 1560 cm?1 are respectively defined as I(C—H) and I(C?O), a peak intensity ratio represented by I(C?O)/I(C—H) is 0.01 or less.
