Abstract

Provided are a secondary battery and a battery module, battery pack, and electric apparatus containing such secondary battery. The secondary battery includes: a positive electrode plate including a positive electrode film layer; a separator; and a negative electrode plate. The negative electrode plate includes: a first negative electrode film layer, the first negative electrode film layer being provided opposite the positive electrode film layer with the separator therebetween; and a second negative electrode film layer, the second negative electrode film layer including a negative electrode film layer not provided opposite the positive electrode film layer, and the second negative electrode film layer including a central region and a peripheral region surrounding the central region, where a lithium source used for supplementing lithium to the first negative electrode film layer is stored in at least a portion of the peripheral region of the second negative electrode film layer.
