Abstract

A positive electrode sheet, a secondary battery, a battery module, a battery pack and an electrical apparatus are described. The positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer arranged on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector and having a single-layer or multi-layer structure. When the positive electrode film layer is of the single-layer structure, at least one positive electrode film layer comprises both a first positive electrode active material and a second positive electrode active material with a chemical formula of Li a A x Mn 1-y R y P 1-z C z O 4-n D n ; and/or, when the positive electrode film layer is of the multi-layer structure, at least one layer of the at least one positive electrode film layer includes both a first and second positive electrode active material. The secondary battery made of the positive electrode sheet has high energy density and high battery cell rate performance.
