Abstract

The present disclosure provides a battery and method for preparing the same. The battery includes a cell and an electrolyte; the cell includes a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate and a separator. Wherein in the battery, at least one surface of the positive electrode film and/or the negative electrode film is provided with protrusions, with a proviso that: 0.3≤(T c +T a )/(H c +H a )≤1; wherein T c is a height of the protrusions provided on the at least one surface of the positive electrode film, T a is a height of the protrusions provided on the at least one surface of the negative electrode film, H c is a thickness increase of the positive electrode film when the battery has a 100% SOC, H a is a thickness increase of the negative electrode film when the battery has a 100% SOC.

Claims (35)
