Embodiment

[0060] Diaphragm production

[0061] To acetone was added polyvinylidene fluoride-co-chlorotrifluoroethylene (PVdF-CTFE) and cyanoethyl pullulan in a weight ratio of 10:2. The binder polymer solution was prepared by dissolving the mixture at 50° C. for at least about 12 hours.

[0062] In addition, polyethylene and carbon black particles (1:1, w / w) were homogenized to prepare conductive PTC particles having an average particle diameter of 400 nm.

[0063] The conductive PTC particles and BaTiO 3 The powders were mixed in a weight ratio of 1:9 to prepare filler particles. The filler particles are dispersed in the binder polymer solution to prepare a slurry. The weight ratio of the filler particles to the binder polymer solution was adjusted to 90:10. The slurry was dip-coated on a 12 μm thick polyethylene terephthalate nonwoven base cloth to form a porous coating. The nonwoven base fabric is composed of microfibers with an average thickness of about 3 μm and has a pore s...

Abstract

Disclosed is a separator. The separator includes a planar non-woven fabric substrate having a plurality of pores, and a porous coating layer formed on at least one surface of the non-woven fabric substrate. The porous coating layer is composed of a mixture of filler particles and a binder polymer. The filler particles include conductive positive temperature coefficient (PTC) particles composed of a mixture of conductive particles and a low melting point resin having a melting point lower than that of the non-woven fabric substrate. Due to the presence of the conductive PTC particles, the porous coating layer can be imparted with a shutdown function against thermal runaway. In addition, the porous coating layer exhibits appropriate electrical conductivity. Therefore, the separator is suitable for use in a high-capacity electrochemical device.
