Abstract

The present application discloses a negative electrode, a secondary battery and a device comprising the same. The negative electrode includes: a current collector; a first active material layer close to the current collector, the first active material layer including a first active material; and a second active material layer disposed on a surface of the first active material layer away from the current collector, the second active material layer including a second active material; wherein the first active material and the second active material are independently oval-like particles with through holes and/or blind holes, and the first active material has an average pore size greater than that of the second active material.
