Cell separator comprising protective layer manufacturing method

摘要

The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a cell separator in which a protective layer mainly composed of at least one type of granular ceramic is formed on a surface of a porous sheet base material. The method includes preparation of a water-based paste obtained by mixing a solid material containing the granular ceramic and a binder with an aqueous solvent to which at least one type of alcohol has been added, and formation of a protective layer in a state in which the alcohol has been eliminated by coating the prepared water-based paste onto a surface of the porous sheet base material, and further includes formation of the protective layer so that the solids content in the protective layer is higher than the solids content in the water-based paste by an amount of elimination of the alcohol, and is at least 55% by mass.

主权项

1. A method of manufacturing a cell separator, the method comprising:
providing a water-repellent porous synthetic resin film or membrane having a large number of fine pores with a pore diameter of 1 μm or less; preparing a water-based paste comprising
an aqueous solvent containing at least one type of alcohol,at least one type of granular ceramic, andat least one type of binder that is soluble or dispersible in the aqueous solvent, wherein a solids content comprising the granular ceramic and the binder in the paste is adjusted to 44% by mass to 52% by mass, and the ratio of the alcohol contained in the aqueous solvent is adjusted to 11% by mass to 36% by mass; coating the paste onto a surface of the synthetic resin film membrane; forming a protective layer mainly composed to the granular ceramic with a solids content of at least 55% by mass on the surface of the synthetic resin film or membrane by eliminating the alcohol from the paste on the surface; and drying the protective layer mainly composed of the granular ceramic on the surface.
