Abstract

This application provides a lithium metal negative electrode plate, an electrochemical apparatus, and an electronic device. The lithium metal negative electrode plate may include: a copper foil; an active substance layer formed on at least part of a surface of the copper foil, where the active substance layer includes a lithium metal alloy; and a composite protection layer formed on at least part of a surface of the active substance layer, where thickness of the composite protection layer may be less than or equal to 10 μm, and the composite protection layer may include a lithium fluoride inorganic layer and a polymer organic layer.

Claims (26)

1 . A lithium metal negative electrode plate, comprising:

a copper foil;
