Abstract

A negative electrode includes a negative current collector, a first negative active material layer and a second negative active material layer. The first negative active material layer is arranged on one side of a first portion of the negative current collector, and the second negative active material layers are arranged on two sides of a second portion, different from the first portion, of the negative current collector. A ratio of a weight per unit area of the first negative active material layer to a weight per unit area of the second negative active material layer on the negative current collector is 0.47 to 0.52, and a ratio of a compacted density of the first negative active material layer to a compacted density of the second negative active material layer is 0.9 to 1.1.
