Abstract

The present application relates to the technical field of secondary batteries, and more particularly relates to a binder for secondary batteries, a separator, a secondary battery and an electrical apparatus. The binder for secondary batteries is in a ring shape, and includes an acrylate copolymer. The acrylate copolymer has good adhesion, and a contact point of the binder with the ring-shaped structure is a circle line of the ring-shaped binder. The ring-shaped binder has bonding points with larger areas than a spherical binder, such that good bonding performance can be achieved when the usage amount of the binder with the ring-shaped structure is reduced.
