A. Industrial Application Field This invention relates to a separator used to separate a positive electrode electrolyte and a negative electrode electrolyte in a metal halogen battery. B. Summary of the Invention This invention provides a separator for metal halogen batteries that has low electrical resistance and high bromine barrier properties by forming a paper-like microporous membrane using polyethylene fibers and glass fibers. It provides: C. Prior Art As an example of a metal halogen battery, for example, in a zinc-bromine battery, bromine is generated at the positive electrode during charging, and when this bromine reacts with zinc deposited on the negative electrode, it causes self-discharge. A separator with high bromine barrier properties is essential to isolate the electrolyte. Further, it is desired that this separator has excellent bromine barrier properties and that the separator itself has low electrical resistance. Conventionally, separators for such zinc-bromine batteries have been used by appropriately selecting from various microporous membranes. and an organic liquid, mixed and shaped, and then the organic liquid, which is a pore-forming component, is extracted. D Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the conventional separators as described above, for example, if the relative proportion of the resin material, which is an insulator, is reduced, the electrical resistance of the film decreases, but the bromine barrier property decreases. The electrical resistance and bromine barrier properties of the membrane were contradictory in nature. In other words, in conventional separators, the electrical resistance and bromine barrier properties of the film are such that if the electrical resistance of the film is relatively low, the bromine barrier property is poor, and conversely, if the film has excellent bromine barrier property, the electrical resistance of the film is high. Thus, there was a problem that there was an inversely proportional correlation and it was difficult to achieve both of the required characteristics. The object of the present invention is to solve these problems and provide a separator for metal halogen batteries that has low electrical resistance and excellent bromine barrier properties. E Means for solving the problem In this invention, 20 to 50 wt% of glass fibers with a diameter of 5 to 0.5 μm are added to the polyethylene fiber material.
By dispersing the bromine fibers in a paper-like microporous membrane consisting essentially only of polyethylene fibers and glass fibers, the electrical resistance of the membrane can be lowered without reducing the bromine barrier properties, and the above problems can be solved. This is the solution. F Effect In this invention, the addition of glass fiber lowers the electrical resistance of the membrane, and also fills the gaps between the polyethylene fibers that are the raw material and forms appropriate micropores, thereby improving the bromine barrier properties. It also works advantageously. Furthermore, if the amount of glass fibers added is the same, the smaller the diameter, the denser the film, and the further improved the bromine barrier properties. G. Examples Hereinafter, this invention will be explained in more detail using examples. Example 1 Using polyethylene fibers with a diameter of about 10 to 15 μm and a length of about 1 mm and glass fibers with a diameter of about 10 μm, the weight ratio of the polyethylene fibers and glass fibers was changed,
Five types of paper-like microporous membranes (A to E) were produced. Among these, membrane A is a comparison sample consisting only of polyethylene fibers. In addition, the method of making paper is to mix each fiber in a predetermined ratio and disperse it in water, put this dispersion into a paper machine, and make paper through the steps of paper layering, dehydration, and drying. However, in order to strengthen the bonds between each fiber, it is desirable to heat and press the paper after dehydration. In this example, the temperature was 120°C during molding.
The adhesion of the polyethylene resin was improved by heat pressing it through two rolls heated to . Membrane samples A to E produced as described above were subjected to measurement of electrical resistance of the membrane and a bromine barrier property test. The electrical resistance of the film was measured according to JIS C-2313, and the results were as shown in Table 1 and FIG. As is clear from FIG. 1, the electrical resistance of the membranes to which glass fibers have been added (B to E) is significantly lower than that of membrane A consisting only of polyethylene fibers. Here, the electrical resistance of the membrane decreases as the amount of glass fiber added increases, but once the amount added reaches a certain level, even if the amount added is further increased, the decrease in the electrical resistance of the membrane becomes smaller. This is thought to be because once the film reaches a certain degree of density, the electrical resistance of the film becomes difficult to decrease beyond that point. In addition, the bromine barrier property test was conducted using a U-shaped tube 2 as shown in Figure 4, and a 3 mol/l zinc bromide aqueous solution was passed through the microporous membrane 1 to one side and 3 mol/l to the other. zinc bromide aqueous solution and
A mixed solution of 0.3 mol/l bromine was added, and the amount of bromine permeated after 4 hours was measured. Table 1 and Figure 2 show the results of the bromine barrier property test. Compared to membrane A consisting only of polyethylene fibers, membrane B containing glass fibers
- E, the amount of bromine permeation is greatly reduced, and the greater the amount of glass fiber added, the more remarkable the improvement in bromine barrier properties is. The above results demonstrate that adding glass fiber to polyethylene fibers to create paper-like microporous membranes is very effective in lowering the membrane's electrical resistance and improving its bromine barrier properties. It is shown that.

[Table] Example 2 Paper-like microporous membranes (E-1, E-2, E −
3, E-4) was prepared, and the electrical resistance of the film was measured in the same manner as in Example 1, and a bromine barrier property test was conducted. As shown in Table 2, the electrical resistance of the membrane does not vary greatly depending on the diameter of the glass fiber.
In all cases, the resistance was around 0.0002Ω-cm 2 /piece. However, since the membrane resistance of microporous membranes conventionally used as this type of separator, such as polyolefin-based membranes, is about 0.005Ω-cm 2 /sheet, the electrical resistance of the separator according to the present invention is lower than that of the conventional separator. This is extremely low, at less than one-twentieth of the average. Regarding the bromine barrier property, as shown in Table 2 and Figure 3, E-1>E-2>E
It is clear that the smaller the diameter of the glass fiber (-3>E-4), the smaller the amount of bromine permeation and the better the bromine barrier properties. This is thought to be because the membrane becomes more dense as the diameter of the glass fibers becomes smaller.
