Abstract

An electrochemical apparatus includes an electrode assembly, where the electrode assembly includes a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, and a separator. The separator is disposed between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate. The positive electrode plate, the negative electrode plate, and the separator are made into the electrode assembly through winding. The electrochemical apparatus further includes a first bonding member. The positive electrode plate includes a first starting section. A first end of the first bonding member is bonded to the first starting section, and a second end of the first bonding member is bonded to the separator.
