Abstract

The present application provide a silicon-oxygen compound, a secondary battery using it, and related battery modules, battery packs, and devices. The silicon-oxygen compound provided by the present application has a formula of SiO x , in which x satisfies 0<x<2. The silicon-oxygen compound contains both sulfur and aluminum element, and the sulfur element is present in an amount of 20 ppm˜300 ppm. The mass ratio of sulfur element to aluminum element is from 1.5 to 13.0. A secondary battery uses the silicon-oxygen compound provided in the present application, so that the secondary battery can have both long-cycle performance and high initial coulombic efficiency.
