BATTERY SEPARATOR AND NONAQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE BATTERY

摘要

A nonaqueous electrolyte battery of the present invention includes a positive electrode having a positive active material capable of intercalating and deintercalating a lithium ion, a negative electrode having a negative active material capable of intercalating and deintercalating a lithium ion, a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and a nonaqueous electrolyte. The heat generation starting temperature of the positive electrode is 180° C. or higher. The separator includes heat-resistant fine particles and a thermoplastic resin. The proportion of particles with a particle size of 0.2 μm or less in the heat-resistant fine particles is 10 vol % or less and the proportion of particles with a particle size of 2 μm or more in the heat-resistant fine particles is 10 vol % or less. The separator effects a shutdown in the range of 100° C. to 150° C.
