Abstract

A negative electrode plate includes a current collector and a coating applied to at least one surface of the current collector, the coating comprising a negative electrode active material and a metal powder, wherein the electrode potential of the metal powder in the coating relative to lithium may be between 1.6 and 3.5 V, the negative electrode active material may be a silicon-based material, and relative to the total weight of the silicon-based material and the metal powder, the proportion by weight of the metal powder may be 5 to 20% and the proportion by weight of the silicon-based material may be 80 to 95%.

Claims (16)

1 . A negative electrode plate

comprising a current collector and a coating applied to at least one surface of the current collector,
