Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of battery, and in particular, relates to a current collector. The current collector includes an insulation layer; a conductive layer located on at least one surface of the insulation layer; and a first protective layer provided on a surface of the conductive layer facing away from the insulation layer. The current collector is provided with a plurality of holes penetrating through the insulation layer, the conductive layer and the first protective layer. The first protective layer is made of a metal oxide.
