Abstract

This application provides a secondary battery and an apparatus containing the secondary battery. The secondary battery includes an electrolytic solution. The electrolytic solution includes an electrolyte salt and an organic solvent. The electrolyte salt includes lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) and lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6 ). A volumetric molar concentration of the LiFSI in the electrolytic solution is 0.8 mol/L-1.2 mol/L; and a volumetric molar concentration of the LiPF 6 in the electrolytic solution is 0.15 mol/L-0.4 mol/L. The organic solvent includes ethylene carbonate (EC), and mass percent of the EC in the organic solvent is less than or equal to 20%.
