Description

The present invention has enhanced relates to a manufacturing method of the separators for lithium ion batteries, battery safety with excellent breakdown characteristics.

Secondary batteries are widely used as power sources for portable devices such as OA, FA, household electric appliances and communication devices. In particular, portable devices using lithium ion secondary batteries are increasing because they have a high volumetric efficiency when mounted on devices, leading to a reduction in size and weight of the devices.
On the other hand, large-sized secondary batteries are being researched and developed in many fields related to energy / environmental issues, including road leveling, UPS, and electric vehicles. Therefore, the use of lithium ion secondary batteries, which are a kind of non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, is expanding.

The working voltage of a lithium ion secondary battery is usually designed with an upper limit of 4.1V to 4.2V. At such a high voltage, the aqueous solution causes electrolysis and cannot be used as an electrolyte. Therefore, so-called non-aqueous electrolytes using organic solvents are used as electrolytes that can withstand high voltages.
As the solvent for the non-aqueous electrolyte, a high dielectric constant organic solvent capable of making more lithium ions exist is used, and organic carbonates such as polypropylene carbonate and ethylene carbonate are mainly used as the high dielectric constant organic solvent. It is used. As a supporting electrolyte that becomes a lithium ion source in the solvent, a highly reactive electrolyte such as lithium hexafluorophosphate is dissolved in the solvent and used.

  In the lithium ion secondary battery, a separator is interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode from the viewpoint of preventing an internal short circuit. Of course, the separator is required to have insulating properties due to its role. Moreover, it is necessary to have a microporous structure in order to provide air permeability as a lithium ion passage and a function of diffusing and holding the electrolyte. In order to satisfy these requirements, a porous film is used as a separator.

Furthermore, with the recent increase in capacity of batteries, the importance of battery safety is increasing.
As a characteristic that contributes to the safety of the battery separator, there is a breakdown characteristic (hereinafter referred to as “BD characteristic”). This BD characteristic is a function that the film does not break and keeps the positive electrode and the negative electrode separated even when the battery becomes abnormal and the thermal runaway causes a high temperature of about 160 ° C. or more. If it has BD characteristics, insulation can be maintained even at high temperatures, and a wide range of short-circuits between electrodes can be prevented, thereby preventing accidents such as ignition due to abnormal heat generation of the battery. Therefore, when used as a battery separator, it preferably has this BD characteristic, and the breakdown temperature indicating the lowest temperature among the temperatures at which the lithium-ion battery separator breaks may be higher. preferable.

In response to such a demand, Japanese Patent No. 2883726 (Patent Document 1) is characterized in that a laminated film of polyethylene and polypropylene is made porous by changing the temperature in one axial direction and stretching in two stages. A separator manufacturing method has been proposed.
The separator produced by the production method has heat resistance because a polypropylene layer having a higher crystal melting peak temperature than that of a conventional polyethylene single layer separator is laminated, and is advantageous from the viewpoint of BD characteristics. However, with the recent increase in energy density of batteries, it is difficult to say that heat resistance is sufficient for polypropylene, and it is required that BD characteristics can be exhibited even at higher temperatures.
Furthermore, the separator manufactured by the above manufacturing method is very weak against tearing in a direction perpendicular to the stretching direction, and there is a problem in terms of strength that a tear is easily generated in the stretching direction.
In addition, the manufacturing method has a problem that it requires strict control of manufacturing conditions and the productivity is not good.

On the other hand, as a method for obtaining a porous film by stretching a polypropylene sheet containing a large amount of β crystals, which is one of crystal forms, in order to increase the permeability of the porous film, Japanese Patent No. 2509030 (Patent Document 2), International Publication 2002/066233 (Patent Document 3) has been proposed.
However, the heat resistance is not sufficient to use any porous film as a battery separator, and there is a problem in securing the safety of the battery, and the breakdown temperature is improved to be higher. It is requested to do.

[Description of lithium-ion battery separator]
The separator for a lithium ion battery of the present invention includes a mixed resin of a polypropylene resin (A) and a thermoplastic resin (B) having a crystal melting peak temperature of 170 ° C. or higher, and has β activity and / or β crystal generation. A porous layer having force is provided.

The lithium ion battery separator of the present invention is characterized in that the polypropylene resin (A) is mixed with a thermoplastic resin (B) having a high crystal melting peak temperature of 170 ° C. or higher, so that the film does not break below 200 ° C. It is characterized by having. In other words, the lithium ion battery separator of the present invention has a breakdown temperature of 200 ° C. or higher. The breakdown temperature is 220 ° C. or higher, more preferably 240 ° C. or higher. The upper limit of the breakdown temperature is not particularly limited, but is about 400 ° C. due to the raw material processing temperature and the like.
As described above, when the breakdown temperature is 200 ° C. or higher, for example, when the battery is stored or heated and the battery separator is exposed to high temperature, the battery separator does not break, and the positive electrode and the negative electrode Since direct contact can be prevented, battery explosion and flame are unlikely to occur, and it is extremely safe.
As a means for adjusting the breakdown temperature to a desired temperature in the range of 200 ° C. or higher, a thermoplastic resin (B) having a crystal peak temperature close to the desired breakdown temperature is selected, and the crystal melting peak temperature is 170 ° C. or higher. Means such as increasing the mass ratio of the thermoplastic resin (B) are effective.

The porous layer of the lithium ion battery separator of the present invention is characterized by having at least one of the β activity and the β crystal generation force.
Both β activity and β crystal forming force can be regarded as one index indicating that polypropylene was generating β crystal in the film-like material before stretching. If the polypropylene in the film-like material before stretching produces β crystals, fine pores are formed by subsequent stretching, so that a separator having air permeability can be obtained.

The presence or absence of β activity in the porous layer can be determined by conducting differential thermal analysis of a lithium ion battery separator using a differential scanning calorimeter and detecting a crystal melting peak temperature derived from β crystals of polypropylene resin. Judgment is based on no.
Specifically, the temperature of the separator is increased from 25 ° C. to 240 ° C. at a heating rate of 10 ° C./min and held for 1 minute with a differential scanning calorimeter, and then the temperature is decreased from 240 ° C. to 25 ° C. at a cooling rate of 10 ° C./min. If the crystal melting peak temperature (Tmβ) derived from the β crystal of polypropylene is detected when the temperature is held again for 1 minute and then heated again from 25 ° C. to 240 ° C. at a heating rate of 10 ° C./min. It is judged that it has.

The β activity of the porous layer is calculated by the following formula using the heat of crystal melting derived from the α crystal of the polypropylene resin (ΔHmα) and the heat of crystal melting derived from the β crystal (ΔHmβ). .
β activity (%) = [ΔHmβ / (ΔHmβ + ΔHmα)] × 100
For example, when the polypropylene resin is homopolypropylene, the amount of heat of crystal melting derived from the β crystal (ΔHmβ) detected mainly in the range of 145 ° C. or more and less than 160 ° C., and mainly detected at 160 ° C. or more and 175 ° C. or less It can be calculated from the heat of crystal melting (ΔHmα) derived from the α crystal. Further, for example, in the case of random polypropylene copolymerized with 1 to 4 mol% of ethylene, the crystal melting heat amount (ΔHmβ) derived from the β crystal detected mainly in the range of 120 ° C. or more and less than 140 ° C., and mainly 140 It can be calculated from the crystal melting calorie (ΔHmα) derived from the α crystal detected in the range of from 0 ° C. to 165 ° C.

The β activity of the separator is preferably large, and the β activity is preferably 20% or more. More preferably, it is 40% or more, and particularly preferably 60% or more. If the lithium ion battery separator has a β activity of 20% or more, it indicates that a large amount of β crystals of polypropylene can be produced even in the film-like material before stretching, and there are many fine and uniform holes due to stretching. As a result, a separator for a lithium ion battery having high mechanical strength and excellent air permeability can be obtained.
The upper limit of β activity is not particularly limited, but the higher the β activity, the more effective the effect is obtained.

The presence or absence of the β crystal generation force is determined by a diffraction profile obtained by wide-angle X-ray measurement of a lithium ion battery separator subjected to a specific heat treatment.
Specifically, wide-angle X-ray measurement was performed on a lithium ion battery separator that was subjected to heat treatment at 170 ° C. to 190 ° C., which is a temperature exceeding the melting point of the polypropylene resin (A), and slowly cooled to produce and grow β crystals. When a diffraction peak derived from the (300) plane of the β crystal of the polypropylene resin is detected in the range of 2θ = 16.0 ° to 16.5 °, it is determined that there is β crystal forming power.
Details regarding the β crystal structure and wide angle X-ray diffraction of polypropylene resins can be found in Macromol. Chem. 187, 643-652 (1986), Prog. Polym. Sci. Vol. 16, 361-404 (1991), Macromol. Symp. 89, 499-511 (1995), Macromol. Chem. 75, 134 (1964), and references cited therein. A detailed evaluation method of the β crystal forming power will be described in the examples described later.

As a method for obtaining the β activity and / or β crystal generation power of the porous layer described above, as described in a method in which a substance that promotes the formation of α crystal of a polypropylene resin is not added, or as described in Japanese Patent No. 3739481 Examples thereof include a method of adding polypropylene that has been treated to generate peroxide radicals, and a method of adding a β crystal nucleating agent to the resin composition.
In the present invention that has been obtained adding to β activity and / or β crystal generating force β crystal nucleating agent to the resin composition.
By adding a β crystal nucleating agent, it is possible to promote the generation of β crystals of polypropylene resin more uniformly and efficiently, and lithium ions having a porous layer having β activity and / or β crystal generation ability A battery separator can be obtained.

  In the present invention, the β crystal nucleating agent is preferably blended with a polypropylene resin. The ratio of the β-crystal nucleating agent added to the polypropylene resin needs to be appropriately adjusted depending on the type of the β-crystal nucleating agent or the composition of the polypropylene-based resin. 0.0001 to 5.0 parts by mass of the agent is preferred. 0.001-3.0 mass parts is more preferable, and 0.01-1.0 mass part is still more preferable. If it is 0.0001 part by mass or more, β-crystals of polypropylene resin can be sufficiently produced and grown during production, and sufficient β-activity and / or β-crystal-forming power can be secured even when used as a separator. Desired air permeation performance can be obtained. Addition of 5.0 parts by mass or less is preferable because it is economically advantageous and there is no β crystal nucleating agent on the separator surface.

The resin composition includes a mixed resin of a polypropylene resin (A) and a thermoplastic resin (B) having a crystal melting peak temperature of 170 ° C. or higher, and the polypropylene resin with respect to 100% of the total mass of the mixed resin. Is 85 mass% or less, and the thermoplastic resin having a crystal melting peak temperature of 170 ° C or higher is 15 mass% or higher. In addition, the polypropylene resin is 10% by mass or more, preferably 70% by mass or more, and the thermoplastic resin having a crystal melting peak temperature of 170 ° C. or more is preferably 90% by mass or less, preferably 100% by mass with respect to 100% of the total mass of the mixed resin. It is preferable to set it as 30 mass% or less .
If the content of the thermoplastic resin (B) is 15 % by mass or more out of 100% by mass of the total mass of the resin (A) and the thermoplastic resin (B), the breakdown characteristics are sufficient at 200 ° C. or higher. It is possible to express in On the other hand, when the content of the thermoplastic resin (B) is 90% by mass or less of the total mass of 100% by mass of the resin (A) and the thermoplastic resin (B), the production of a porous film serving as a separator is produced. Sometimes it is easy to be porous, which is preferable.

  The porous layer and the resin composition forming the porous layer may contain other components as long as the functions and effects of the present invention are not hindered. The content ratio of the other components is less than 30% by mass, preferably less than 20% by mass, more preferably less than 10% by mass of the entire porous layer (resin composition).

In addition, the lithium ion battery separator of the present invention is characterized by a large number of micropores having communication in the thickness direction and having excellent air permeability.
As the index, the air resistance of the lithium ion battery separator of the present invention is preferably 5 to 3000 seconds / 100 ml, more preferably 20 to 2000 seconds / 100 ml, still more preferably 50 to 1000 seconds / 100 ml, Most preferably, it is 50 to 500 seconds / 100 ml.
If the air resistance is greater than 3000 seconds / 100 ml, the numerical value of the air resistance is obtained in the measurement, but it means that the structure is quite poorly connected. There is often no connectivity to the extent that it can be used. That is, it is preferable that the air permeation resistance is 3000 seconds / 100 ml or less because ion conductivity can be secured and sufficient battery characteristics can be obtained. On the other hand, if the air permeation resistance is 5 seconds / 100 ml or more, the pore diameter is suitably small, and the mechanical strength of the lithium ion battery separator can be maintained, which is preferable.
The air permeation resistance represents the difficulty of air passing through in the thickness direction of the separator, and is specifically expressed by the number of seconds required for 100 ml of air to pass through the separator. Therefore, it means that the smaller the numerical value is, the easier it is to pass through, and the higher numerical value is, the more difficult it is to pass. That is, a smaller value means that the separator in the thickness direction is better, and a larger value means that the separator is less in the thickness direction. Communicability is the degree of connection of holes in the thickness direction of the separator. The low air permeability resistance of the lithium ion battery separator of the present invention means that lithium ions can be easily transferred, which is preferable because of excellent battery performance.

In the lithium ion battery separator of the present invention, other physical properties can be freely adjusted by the composition of the resin composition constituting the separator, the separator configuration, the manufacturing method, and the like.
For example, the separator for a lithium ion battery preferably has a porosity of 5 to 80%, more preferably 20 to 70%, particularly preferably 30 to 70%, and further 40 to 40%. Particularly preferred is 65%. The porosity is an important factor for defining the porous structure. When the porosity is 5% or more, a separator for a lithium ion battery that ensures communication and has excellent air permeability can be obtained. On the other hand, if the porosity is 80% or less, there is no problem that the fine pores are excessively increased and the mechanical strength of the separator is lowered, which is preferable from the viewpoint of handling.
For example, as a means for increasing the porosity, there is a means for increasing the mass ratio of the thermoplastic resin (B) having a crystal melting peak temperature of 170 ° C. or higher, and the stretching temperature is within the range specified in the present invention. Means for lowering the temperature are effective.
The porosity is measured by the method described in the examples.

Below, the component which comprises the separator for lithium ion batteries of this invention is demonstrated.
[Description of Polypropylene Resin (A)]
As the polypropylene resin (A) in the present invention, homopropylene (propylene homopolymer), or propylene and ethylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-heptene, 1-octene, 1-octene, Examples thereof include random copolymers or block copolymers with α-olefins such as nonene and 1-decene. Among these, from the viewpoint of mechanical strength of the lithium ion battery separator, a homopolypropylene resin is more preferably used.

Moreover, as a polypropylene resin, it is preferable that the isotactic pentad fraction (mmmm fraction) which shows stereoregularity is 80 to 99%. More preferably 83-98%, still more preferably 85-97%. If the isotactic pentad fraction is too low, the mechanical strength of the separator may decrease. On the other hand, the upper limit of the isotactic pentad fraction is defined by the upper limit value that can be obtained industrially at the present time. is not.
The isotactic pentad fraction (mmmm fraction) is the same direction for all five methyl groups that are side chains with respect to the main chain of carbon-carbon bonds composed of arbitrary five consecutive propylene units. Means the three-dimensional structure located at or its proportion. Signal assignment of the methyl group region is as follows. It conforms to Zambelli et al (Macromolecules 8,687, (1975)).

  Moreover, as a polypropylene resin, it is preferable that Mw / Mn which is a parameter which shows molecular weight distribution is 2.0-10.0. More preferably, 2.0 to 8.0, and still more preferably 2.0 to 6.0 is used. This means that the smaller the Mw / Mn is, the narrower the molecular weight distribution is. However, when the Mw / Mn is less than 2.0, problems such as a decrease in extrusion moldability occur, and it is difficult to produce industrially. . On the other hand, when Mw / Mn exceeds 10.0, the low molecular weight component increases, and the mechanical strength of the lithium ion battery separator tends to decrease. Mw / Mn is obtained by GPC (gel permeation chromatography) method.

  Further, the melt flow rate (MFR) of the polypropylene-based resin is not particularly limited, but usually the MFR is preferably 0.5 to 15 g / 10 minutes, and 1.0 to 10 g / 10 minutes. It is more preferable. When the MFR is less than 0.5 g / 10 min, the resin has a high melt viscosity at the time of molding and the productivity is lowered. On the other hand, if it exceeds 15 g / 10 minutes, the mechanical strength of the separator is insufficient, so that practical problems are likely to occur. MFR is measured according to JIS K7210 under conditions of a temperature of 230 ° C. and a load of 2.16 kg.

[Description of configuration of separator for lithium ion battery]
The configuration of the lithium ion battery separator of the present invention will be described.
The separator for a lithium ion battery of the present invention can exhibit excellent air permeability characteristics and breakdown characteristics if there is a single porous layer made of the resin composition described above. However, a laminated structure may be used when the mechanical strength or surface functionality of the lithium ion battery separator is required.
The number of layers can be appropriately selected from 2 layers, 3 layers, 4 layers, 5 layers, 6 layers, and 7 layers. However, a two-layer or three-layer structure is preferable from the viewpoint of productivity or economy.
The lamination ratio of each layer can be adjusted in a timely manner according to the application and purpose.

Examples of the laminated structure in which two or more porous layers are laminated include the following aspects (a) to (c).
(A) Laminated structure using two layers having different mixing mass ratios of polypropylene resin (A) and thermoplastic resin (B) having a crystal melting peak temperature of 170 ° C. or higher (b) β activity of polypropylene resin (A) And / or laminated structure using two layers having different β crystal generation powers (c) laminated structure using two layers each containing a different kind of resin as thermoplastic resin (B) having a crystal melting peak temperature of 170 ° C. or higher Furthermore, it can also be set as the laminated structure which combined these.

More specifically, as the constitution of (a), a layer comprising a resin composition containing a mixed resin of a polypropylene resin (A) and a thermoplastic resin (B) having a crystal melting peak temperature of 170 ° C. or higher. (I) and a layer (II) composed of a resin composition in which the mixing mass ratio of the resin (A) and the thermoplastic resin (B) in the mixed resin is different from that of the resin composition, A two-layer structure of (II) and a two-layer three-layer structure such as (I) / (II) / (I) can be used.
In addition, the constitution of (b) includes a polypropylene resin (A ′) different from the polypropylene resin (A) contained in the layer (I) and a thermoplastic resin having a crystal melting peak temperature of 170 ° C. or higher ( A layer (III) made of a resin composition containing B) and the layer (I) are laminated to form a two-layer structure of (I) / (III), (I) / (III) / (I), etc. It can be set as a 2 types 3 layer structure.
Further, using the layer (I), the layer (II), and the layer (III), a three-layer three-layer structure such as (II) / (I) / (III), (II) / (I) / ( III) / (II) and the like can be a three-kind four-layer structure.

  Furthermore, in the porous film used as the lithium ion battery separator of the present invention, a polypropylene resin (A) and a thermoplastic resin (B) having a crystal melting peak temperature of 170 ° C. or higher, as long as the function is not hindered. Other layers other than the layer composed of the resin composition containing the mixed resin may be laminated, or a known treatment may be appropriately performed.

  The form of the porous film to be the separator for the lithium ion battery of the present invention may be either a flat shape or a tube shape. Furthermore, the planar shape is more preferable from the viewpoint of being able to treat the inner surface with a coat or the like.

  The thickness of the lithium ion battery separator of the present invention is 1 to 500 μm, preferably 5 to 300 μm, more preferably 5 to 100 μm, still more preferably 7 to 50 μm, and particularly preferably 10 to 30 μm. If the thickness is 1 μm or more, preferably 10 μm or more, substantially necessary electrical insulation can be obtained. For example, even when a large voltage is applied, short-circuiting is difficult and safety is excellent. Furthermore, it is hard to tear even if it is wound when housed in a battery. Moreover, if the thickness is 500 μm or less, preferably 50 μm or less, the electric resistance of the lithium ion battery separator can be reduced, so that the battery performance can be sufficiently ensured.

[Description of manufacturing method of separator for lithium ion battery]
Next, the manufacturing method of the separator for lithium ion batteries of this invention is demonstrated .
Lithium ion battery separator, a polypropylene resin (A) and the thermoplastic resin crystal melting peak temperature of 170 ° C. or higher (B), by kneading a β-crystal nucleating agent, a resin composition having a β crystal It is obtained by stretching a film-like material to be formed and forming a large number of micropores having communication properties in the thickness direction.
A method for producing the film-like material is not particularly limited, and a known method may be used. For example, the resin composition is melted using an extruder, extruded from a T die, and cooled and solidified with a cast roll. It is done. Moreover, the method of cutting open the film-like thing manufactured by the tubular method and making it planar is also applicable.
About the extending | stretching method of the obtained film-form thing , biaxial stretching is performed .

As a more preferred embodiment, the following production methods can be mentioned.
First, the resin composition is prepared.
For example, raw materials such as polypropylene resin, β crystal nucleating agent, thermoplastic resin (B) having a crystal melting peak temperature of 170 ° C. or higher, and other additives as required, preferably Henschel mixer, super mixer or tumbler mixer, etc. Or after putting all the components in a bag and mixing by hand blending, melt-kneading with a single-screw or twin-screw extruder, kneader or the like, preferably a twin-screw extruder, and then pelletizing.

Next, the obtained resin composition pellets are put into an extruder and extruded from a T-die to form a film-like product.
The gap of the T die to be used is determined based on various conditions such as the finally required separator thickness, stretching conditions, draft rate, etc., but is generally about 0.1 to 3.0 mm, preferably 0.8. 5 to 1.0 mm. If it is less than 0.1 mm, it is not preferable from the viewpoint of production speed, and if it is larger than 3.0 mm, the draft rate is increased, which is not preferable from the viewpoint of production stability.

In extrusion molding, the extrusion processing temperature is appropriately adjusted depending on the flow characteristics and moldability of the resin composition. A temperature of 180 ° C. or higher is preferable because the thermoplastic resin (B) is melted, the viscosity of the molten resin is sufficiently low, the moldability is excellent, and the productivity is improved. On the other hand, by setting it as 370 degrees C or less, degradation of a resin composition and by extension, the fall of the mechanical strength of the porous film used as the separator for lithium ion batteries can be suppressed.
The cooling and solidification temperature by the cast roll is very important in the present invention, and β-crystals of polypropylene resin can be generated and grown, and the ratio of β-crystals in the film can be adjusted.
The cooling and solidification temperature of the cast roll is preferably 80 to 150 ° C, more preferably 90 to 140 ° C, and still more preferably 100 to 130 ° C. By setting the cooling and solidifying temperature to 80 ° C. or higher, the ratio of β crystals in the film-like material cooled and solidified can be sufficiently increased, which is preferable. Moreover, it is preferable to set the temperature to 150 ° C. or lower because troubles such as adhesion and winding of the extruded molten resin to the cast roll hardly occur and efficient film formation is possible.

It is preferable that the β crystal ratio of the polypropylene resin in the film-like material before stretching is adjusted to 30 to 100% by setting a cast roll in the temperature range. 40-100% is more preferable, 50-100% is still more preferable, and 60-100% is the most preferable. By setting the β-crystal ratio of the polypropylene-based resin in the film-like material before stretching to 30% or more, the film can be easily made porous by a subsequent stretching operation, and a film having good air permeability can be obtained.
The β crystal ratio in the film before stretching is detected when the film is heated from 25 ° C. to 240 ° C. at a heating rate of 10 ° C./min using a differential scanning calorimeter. It is calculated by the following formula using the heat of crystal melting derived from the α crystal of the polypropylene resin (ΔHmα) and the heat of crystal melting derived from the β crystal (ΔHmβ).
β crystal ratio (%) = [ΔHmβ / (ΔHmβ + ΔHmα)] × 100

  Next, the obtained film is biaxially stretched. Biaxial stretching may be simultaneous biaxial stretching or sequential biaxial stretching. Among these, sequential biaxial stretching is more preferable because the stretching conditions can be selected in each stretching step and the porous structure can be easily controlled. In addition, extending | stretching to the take-up (flow) direction of a film-form thing is called "longitudinal stretching" (MD), and extending | stretching to the orthogonal | vertical direction is called "lateral stretching" (TD).

When sequential biaxial stretching is used, the stretching temperature is the composition of the resin composition used, the crystal melting peak temperature of the thermoplastic resin (B) having a crystal melting peak temperature of 170 ° C. or higher, and the crystallinity of the polypropylene resin (A). It may be selected in a timely manner.
For example, the stretching temperature in longitudinal stretching is generally controlled in the range of 20 to 130 ° C, preferably 40 to 120 ° C, more preferably 60 to 110 ° C. The longitudinal draw ratio is preferably 2 to 10 times, more preferably 3 to 8 times, and still more preferably 3 to 7 times. By performing longitudinal stretching within the above range, it is possible to develop an appropriate pore starting point while suppressing breakage during stretching.
A stretching temperature in the longitudinal stretching of 20 ° C. or higher is preferable because breakage during stretching is suppressed and uniform stretching is performed. On the other hand, if the stretching temperature in the longitudinal stretching is 130 ° C. or less, the formation of pores in the polypropylene resin and the formation of pores by interfacial separation between the polypropylene resin and the thermoplastic resin having a crystal melting peak temperature of 170 ° C. or more. Since two types of vacancy formation occur, vacancies can be formed efficiently. Further, the pores formed in this way are not easily blocked by the subsequent transverse stretching, and can exhibit air permeability characteristics even when the transverse stretching temperature is raised, for example, which is very useful in production. If the stretching temperature in the longitudinal stretching is set to 110 ° C. or less, the effect becomes more prominent.

On the other hand, the stretching temperature in transverse stretching is generally 100 ° C to 160 ° C, preferably 110 ° C to 150 ° C, and more preferably 110 ° C to 140 ° C. The transverse draw ratio is preferably 2 to 10 times, more preferably 3 to 8 times, and further preferably 4 to 7 times. By laterally stretching within the above range, the pore starting point formed by longitudinal stretching can be appropriately expanded and a fine porous structure can be expressed. As a result, for lithium ion batteries having excellent air permeability characteristics A separator can be obtained.
In particular, if the longitudinal stretching is performed at a relatively low temperature as described above, the pores are less likely to be clogged. Therefore, the stretching temperature in the lateral stretching is superior to the stretching property and the productivity is improved when the stretching temperature is 120 ° C. or higher. It is preferable from the point.

In the present invention, the stretching temperature (T _TD ) and the longitudinal length in transverse (TD) stretching are used to control the porosity in the stretching step and to exhibit excellent air permeability properties by forming an ideal porous structure. (MD) the difference between the stretching temperature _{(T MD)} in the stretching is _preferably T TD _{-T MD} is 20 to 60 ° C., and more preferably 25 to 55 ° C..

  The stretching speed in the stretching step is preferably 500 to 12000% / min, more preferably 1500 to 10,000% / min, and further preferably 2500 to 8000% / min. When the stretching speed is in this range, a porous film that can be efficiently used as the lithium ion battery separator of the present invention can be produced.

The porous film to be a lithium ion battery separator thus obtained is preferably subjected to heat treatment at a temperature of about 100 to 170 ° C., preferably about 120 to 150 ° C. for the purpose of improving dimensional stability. During the heat treatment step, a relaxation treatment of 1 to 15% may be performed as necessary. After the heat treatment, the film is uniformly cooled and wound up to obtain a porous film that becomes the lithium ion battery separator of the present invention.
The separator for lithium ion batteries of the present invention can be obtained by cutting the porous film.

When the porous film used as the lithium ion battery separator of the present invention has a laminated structure, the production method is roughly classified into the following two according to the order of the porous formation and the lamination.
(A) A method of laminating each porous layer after laminating each porous layer or bonding with an adhesive or the like.
(B) A method of laminating each layer to produce a laminated film-like material and then making the film-like material porous.
In the present invention, it is preferable to use the method (b) from the viewpoint of the simplicity of the process and productivity, and in particular, a laminated film-like material was directly produced by coextrusion in order to ensure interlayer adhesion between the two layers. The method of post-porousing is particularly preferred.

The porosity was determined by measuring the substantial amount W1 of the film, calculating the mass W0 when the porosity was 0% from the density and thickness of the resin composition, and calculating from these values based on the following formula.
Porosity Pv (%) = {(W0−W1) / W0} × 100

(5) β activity Using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC-7) manufactured by Perkin Elmer Co., Ltd., the temperature was raised from 25 ° C. to 240 ° C. at a heating rate of 10 ° C./min and held for 1 minute. Then, the temperature was lowered from 240 ° C. to 25 ° C. at a cooling rate of 10 ° C./min and held for 1 minute, and further raised from 25 ° C. to 240 ° C. at a heating rate of 10 ° C./min. The presence or absence of β activity was evaluated as follows depending on whether or not a peak was detected at 145 ° C. to 160 ° C., which is a crystal melting peak temperature (Tmβ) derived from β crystals of polypropylene resin at the time of reheating.
○: When Tmβ is detected within the range of 145 ° C to 160 ° C (with β activity)
X: When Tmβ is not detected within the range of 145 ° C to 160 ° C (no β activity)
Note that the β activity was measured with a sample amount of 10 mg and the atmosphere gas as nitrogen.

(6) β-crystal forming power As in the case of the measurement of the shutdown temperature, the film was cut into a 60 mm long × 60 mm wide square and restrained as shown in FIGS.
The film in a state of being restrained by two aluminum plates is placed in a ventilation constant temperature thermostat (model DKN602, manufactured by Yamato Kagaku Co., Ltd.) having a set temperature of 180 ° C. and a display temperature of 180 ° C., and held for 3 minutes. The temperature was changed and gradually cooled to 100 ° C. over 10 minutes. When the display temperature reaches 100 ° C., the film is taken out and cooled in an atmosphere of 25 ° C. for 5 minutes while being restrained by two aluminum plates. Wide-angle X-ray measurement was performed on a 40 mmφ circular portion.
-Wide-angle X-ray measuring device: manufactured by Mac Science Co., Ltd. Model No. XMP18A
X-ray source: CuKα ray, output: 40 kV, 200 mA
Scanning method: 2θ / θ scan, 2θ range: 5 ° to 25 °, scanning interval: 0.05 °, scanning speed: 5 ° / min
About the obtained diffraction profile, the presence or absence of the β crystal generation force was evaluated from the peak derived from the (300) plane of the β crystal of polypropylene as follows.
◯: When a peak is detected in the range of 2θ = 16.0 ° to 16.5 ° (with β crystal forming ability)
X: When a peak was not detected in the range of 2θ = 16.0 ° to 16.5 ° (no β crystal formation ability)
When the film piece cannot be cut into a 60 mm × 60 mm square, the sample may be prepared by adjusting so that the film is placed in a circular hole of 40 mmΦ in the center.
