Abstract

A secondary battery is provided, including a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate. The positive electrode plate includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer provided on two surfaces of the positive electrode current collector, the negative electrode plate includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer provided on two surfaces of the negative electrode current collector, and the negative electrode film layer includes a reaction zone opposite the positive electrode film layer and a non-reaction zone not opposite the positive electrode film layer, where a lithium supplement layer and a barrier layer are provided on the non-reaction zone. A preparation method of secondary battery, a battery module, a battery pack, and an electric apparatus are also provided.

Claims (24)

1 . A secondary battery, comprising a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate, wherein the positive electrode plate comprises a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer provided on two surfaces of the positive electrode current collector, the negative electrode plate comprises a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer provided on two surfaces of the negative electrode current collector, and the negative electrode film layer comprises a reaction zone opposite the positive electrode film layer and a non-reaction zone not opposite the positive electrode film layer, wherein a lithium supplement layer and a barrier layer are provided on the non-reaction zone,

the lithium supplement layer is provided at an end of the non-reaction zone closer to the reaction zone, and the barrier layer is provided starting from the lithium supplement layer and extending away from the reaction zone.

2 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein distance between a side of the lithium supplement layer closer to the reaction zone and the reaction zone is 2 mm to 5 mm.

3 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the lithium supplement layer comprises a substance capable of providing active lithium.

4 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein a theoretical capacity of lithium in the lithium supplement layer, C Li , satisfies 20% C 1 ≤C Li ≤120% C 1 , where C 1 is the capacity of the negative electrode film layer corresponding to the lithium supplement layer.

5 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the barrier layer is selected from a film or coating incapable of being infiltrated by electrolyte; the film comprises one or more of polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester fiber, and polyvinyl chloride, the coating comprises one or more of polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyamide, polyimide, polymethyl methacrylate, polyurethane, polystyrene, polyacrylic acid, polyacrylamide, polyacrylonitrile, and a copolymer thereof.

6 . The secondary battery according to claim 5 , wherein the film is adhesive and has an adhesion of greater than 20 N/m.

7 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein thickness of the barrier layer is 6 μm to 40 μm.

8 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein a spacing zone is provided along a width direction of the negative electrode plate at a side of the lithium supplement layer on the negative electrode plate away from the reaction zone, and the barrier layer is provided starting from the spacing zone and extending away from the reaction zone.

9 . The secondary battery according to claim 8 , wherein width of the spacing zone is 5 mm to 50 mm.

10 . The secondary battery according to claim 8 , wherein depth of the spacing zone is equal to thickness of the negative electrode film layer.

11 . A battery module, comprising the secondary battery according to claim 1 .

12 . A battery pack, comprising the battery module according to claim 11 .

13 . An electric apparatus, comprising the secondary battery according to claim 1 .
