Have been. However, such a hollow fiber has low strength, so when assembling the battery by winding it between electrode plates, not only there is a problem that it is easily broken, but even if it can be wound without breaking, Since the thickness of the separator is reduced by the pressure at the time of winding, there is a problem that the retention of the electrolyte is reduced. In addition, when used as a battery separator that repeats charging and discharging as a secondary battery, the electrode plate expands, and when pressure is applied to the separator, the retained electrolyte is released,
There has also been a problem that the electrode plate surface is wet by the electrolytic solution and the charging efficiency is reduced.

On the other hand, JP-B-63-4311 discloses that
There is disclosed a separator made of a woven or non-woven fabric obtained by blending lyophilic resin fibers having pores opened on the side surfaces with electrolyte-resistant resin fibers. However, such a fiber has a certain degree of strength when the porosity is less than about 40%, but the porosity is small, so the retention of the electrolyte is poor, and the fiber is blended with the electrolyte-resistant resin fiber. Therefore, the electrolyte retention was worse. Conversely, if the porosity is 4
In the case of about 0% or more, there is no strength, and
A problem exactly the same as that of JP-A-1-195165 has occurred.
