    Abstract: This separator for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprises a porous substrate, a heat-resistant layer that is formed on the porous substrate, and clusters of filler particles that are present in dot shapes on the surface of the heat-resistant layer. The filler particles are particles of a compound including at least one of phosphorus, silicon, boron, nitrogen, potassium, sodium, and bromine, and the transformation point at which the filler particles transform from a solid phase to a liquid phase or thermally decompose is in the range 180° C.-1000° C. This separator electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery can suppress heat production of the battery during a nail puncture test, while also suppressing an increase in battery resistance.
