Embodiment 1

[0186] [Manufacture of separator]

[0187] Aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH) as inorganic particles 3 ) and polyvinylidene fluoride hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP, weight average molecular weight: 700,000, HFP content: 10%) as a binder polymer were added to an acetone solvent in a weight ratio of 80:20 to prepare porous coating slurry.

[0188] The prepared slurry for forming a porous coating layer was coated on both surfaces of a 9 μm thick polyethylene porous polymer substrate (porosity: 43%, air permeation time: 110 sec, resistance 0.45 ohm) by dip coating and at 23 Drying was carried out under the conditions of ℃ and 40% relative humidity to produce the initial separator with the porous coating.

[0189] Subsequently, the initial separator was wetted in dimethyl carbonate as an organic solvent, and heat-treated at 80° C. for 3 hours to manufacture the final separator.

Embodiment 2

[0191] The separator was manufactured by the same method as in Example 1, except that polyvinylidene fluoride hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP, weight average molecular weight: 700,000, HFP content: 15%) was used as a binder polymer instead of polyvinylidene fluoride hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP, weight average molecular weight: 700,000, HFP content: 10%).

experiment example 1

[0218] The ionic conductivities of the separators manufactured in Examples 1 to 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 were measured and compared.

[0219] The ionic conductivity of the separator was measured as follows: coin half-cells were fabricated using the separator alone and impregnated with an organic solvent including ethylene carbonate (EC) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) in a volume ratio of 3:7 and 1.0 M LiPF 6 of non-aqueous electrolytes.

[0220] [Table 1]

[0221]

[0222] from Table 1 and Figure 4 It can be seen that Comparative Examples 1 to 2, which were not subjected to the heat treatment process, had lower separator ionic conductivity than Examples 1 to 2, which were subjected to the heat treatment process. Figure 4 The level of ionic conductivity improvement as a function of comonomer content is shown. Furthermore, from Figure 4 As can be seen from Comparative Examples 4 and 6 in Table 1, even after the heat treatment process was performed, when the con...

Abstract

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a separator for a lithium secondary battery, comprising a porous polymer substrate and a porous coating layer formed on at least one surface of the porous polymer substrate, in which the separator has an ionic conductivity of 4.75 * 10 <-5 > S/cm or more, and the porous coating includes an interstitial volume and macropores having a diameter greater than the interstitial volume together, and a method of making the same. Thus, a separator having significantly improved ionic conductivity compared to commercial separators is provided.
