Abstract

La présente invention concerne : un séparateur pour constituer une batterie à électrolyte non aqueux qui présente une excellente sécurité et une excellente fiabilité en termes de court-circuit interne, tout en étant apte à être supprimée dans la détérioration des caractéristiques à des températures élevées ; un procédé de production de ce séparateur ; une batterie à électrolyte non aqueux qui comprend ce séparateur ; et un procédé de production de cette batterie à électrolyte non aqueux.　Un séparateur pour batteries à électrolyte non aqueux selon la présente invention est caractérisé en ce que : le séparateur comprend une couche de particules inorganiques qui contient des particules inorganiques et un liant ; la couche de particules inorganiques contient un composé amine (a) qui est représenté par la formule générale (1) ; la teneur du liant dans la couche de particules inorganiques est de 2 % en masse ou plus ; et la teneur du composé amine (a) est de 0,5 % en masse à 7 % en masse (Dans la formule, R1 représente –H ou –CxH2xNH2 (où x représente un entier de 2 à 6) ; R2 représente –CyH2y- (où y représente un nombre entier de 2 à 6) ; m représente un nombre entier de 1 à 6 ; et dans les cas où m est égal à 2 ou plus, les fractions R1 peuvent être différentes l'une de l'autre.)
