A secondary battery comprising a negative electrode plate, wherein the negative electrode plate comprises a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film coated on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector and containing a negative active material, wherein the negative electrode plate satisfies the following Formula I:

1.2≤0.7× P ×( D 90− D 10)/ D 50+ B/ 3≤4.0  (Formula I)

wherein,

P refers to a porosity of the negative electrode film;

B refers to an active specific surface area of the negative electrode film, and the unit thereof is cm 2 /g;

D10 refers to a particle size corresponding to the cumulative volume percentage of the negative active material reaching 10%; D90 refers to a particle size corresponding to the cumulative volume percentage of the negative active material reaching 90%, and D50 refers to a particle size corresponding to the cumulative volume percentage of the negative active material reaching 50%, i.e. the median particle size of the volume distribution, the units of D10, D90, and D50 are all μm;

wherein the active specific surface area B of the negative electrode film is obtained as follows:

the negative electrode plate was used as a cathode, and a lithium metal sheet was used as an anode, and ferrocene having a concentration of 50 mmol/L was added to the electrolyte, then assembled into a button half battery; four parallel samples were scanned at sweep speeds of 0.1 mV/s, 0.3 mV/s, 0.5 mV/s, and 1 mV/s, respectively, to obtain cyclic voltammetry curves at different sweep speeds, which were extracted by using EC-Lab software to obtain the peak current ip of the cyclic voltammetry curve; taking the square root √{square root over (v)} of the sweep velocity v as the abscissa and the peak current ip as the ordinate, a linear graph of the cyclic volt-ampere curve ip vs. √{square root over (v)} was obtained, and then the slope K was obtained; according to the Randles-Sevick equation i p =2.69×10 5 n 3/2 Ac√{square root over (D)}√{square root over (v)}, as can be seen that the slope was K=2.69×10 5 n 3/2 Ac√{square root over (D)}, where n was the number of electron transfer, which was related to the molecular type of the probe; here, n was given a value of 1, c was the concentration of ferrocene, and here c was given a value of 50 mmol/L, and D was the diffusion coefficient of ferrocene, and here D was given a value of 2.1×10 −6 cm 2 /s; thus the active surface area of the negative electrode plate was A=K/(2.69×10 5 n 3/2 c√{square root over (D)}); then the ratio of the active surface area A of the negative electrode film to the weight m of the negative electrode film was calculated, which represented the active specific surface area B of the negative electrode film;

wherein the negative active material has a specific surface area of from 1.1 m 2 /g to 2.9 m 2 /g;

wherein the active specific surface area B of the negative electrode film satisfies 3.5 cm 2 /g≤B≤10 cm 2 /g; and

wherein the negative active material is graphite material.

2. The secondary battery according to claim 1 , further comprising a positive electrode plate which contains a positive active material, wherein the positive active material comprises lithium iron phosphate.
