For each of the separators SP1 to SP5 and SP7 to SP11, it was confirmed by the microscopic ATR method whether or not a polymeric material was contained on a main surface of a cellulose nonwoven fabric having no solid electrolyte layer. The results are shown in Table 1.
(Water-Shielding Test)
For each of the separators SP1 to SP11, a water-shielding test was conducted by a method similar to the method described above. The reference value was 0 μS/cm. The result is shown in Table 1.
(Bending Test and Water-Shielding Test)
For each of the separators SP1 to SP11, a bending test was conducted by a method similar to the method described above. Next, for each test piece after the bending test, the water-shielding test was conducted by a method similar to the method described above. The result is shown in Table 1.
(Charge-and-Discharge Efficiency Measurement)
The charge-and-discharge efficiency was measured for each of the secondary batteries obtained in the examples and the comparative examples. More specifically, under a 25° C. environment, each secondary battery was charged by a constant current of 5 A until the battery voltage reached 2.8 V. Next, the state was maintained for 30 min. Next, the secondary battery was discharged by a constant current of 5 A until the battery voltage reached 2.1 V. Next, the state was maintained for 30 min. The series of operations was defined as one charge-and-discharge cycle and repeated 50 times. Next, the discharge capacity and charge capacity of the secondary battery after the 50 cycles were measured, and the charge-and-discharge efficiency (discharge capacity/charge capacity) was calculated. The result is shown in Table 2.
