Abstract

This application relates to a lithium-ion secondary battery. A positive electrode plate of the lithium-ion secondary battery includes a positive electrode active substance LiNi x Co y N z M 1-x-y-z O 2 , with N selected from Mn and Al, and M selected from any one of Co, Ni, Mn, Mg, Cu, Zn, Al, Sn, B, Ga, Cr, Sr, V, and Ti, where 0.5≤x<1, 0≤y≤1, 0≤z≤1, and x+y+z≤1; and an electrolyte of the lithium-ion secondary battery contains a specified amount of compounds represented by formula (1), formula (2), and formula (3). The lithium-ion secondary battery of this application has both high energy density and high thermal stability. This application further relates to a battery module containing the lithium-ion secondary battery, a battery pack, and an electric apparatus.
