Problems solved by technology

[0003] When using the battery thus obtained, there is a problem that when the battery is placed in an abnormally high-temperature environment or overcharged, or when a short circuit occurs between electrodes inside or outside the battery, the battery is heated abnormally, making the inside of the battery The electrolyte sprays out from the battery, sometimes causing damage
However, this method has problems such as complicated process steps, difficulty in adjusting product quality, and insufficient adhesion between electrodes and separators (for example, see Patent Document 3)
However, according to this method, since the porous membrane is not stretched, it is difficult to obtain sufficient strength
As mentioned above, conventional methods cannot simultaneously improve heat resistance and reduce heat shrinkage to achieve the purpose of preventing separators from melting and breaking in high-temperature environments
[0007] In addition, in the case where the rechargeable lithium battery is used in a laptop personal computer (hereinafter referred to as a laptop PC), used in a high-temperature environment such as inside a car in summer, or left in a high-temperature environment for a long time in a charged state , it is difficult for rechargeable lithium batteries using conventional polyethylene porous membranes as separators to maintain their initial performance
For example, when a rechargeable lithium battery is used in a high-temperature environment of 50°C to 90°C, which is the possible temperature inside a laptop PC and a car, etc., or when it is left in a charged state for a long time, due to the electrode / separator element Due to internal tension or pressure, the porous membrane gradually deforms or oxidizes and deteriorates, so that the air permeability of the porous membrane decreases (that is, the Gurley value increases), and the battery life decreases.
