- the voltage at which the substance eluted from the porous epoxy resin membrane into the electrolytic solution starts an oxidation reaction is found by electrochemical measurement. The higher the voltage, the less the oxidation reaction occurs, that is, the less the side reaction caused by the substance eluted in the electrolytic solution in the electricity storage device. Since Example 1 shows a reaction initiation voltage higher than that of Comparative Example 1, it can be said that the side reaction hardly occurs, that is, an electrochemically stable epoxy resin porous film. Moreover, the lithium ion secondary battery using the epoxy resin porous membrane of Example 1 showed a high initial discharge capacity. This is presumably due to the high electrochemical stability of the porous epoxy resin membrane of Example 1.

It can be suitably used for a large capacity secondary battery.
