Abstract

Disclosed are a positive electrode plate and a lithium-ion battery including the same. The positive plate includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode coating layer; and the positive electrode coating layer includes a first coating layer and a second coating layer, wherein the first coating layer is coated on the positive electrode current collector surface, and the second coating layer is coated on the first coating layer surface. The lithium-ion battery has a good safety performance, and when mechanical misuse (needling, weight impact) occurs, the probability of battery fire failure is significantly reduced.
