Abstract

A secondary battery is disclosed. The secondary battery includes a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, a separator, and an electrolyte solution. The positive electrode plate includes a positive active material. The positive active material includes a core and a coating. A manganese content of the core is greater than or equal to 25% based on a mass of the core. The coating overlays a surface of the core and contains one or more of an oxide, hydroxide, or oxyacid salt of element X. The element X is one or more selected from Al, B, or P. A mass ratio of the coating to the core is 1:(5 to 100), and optionally 1:(16 to 100). The electrolyte solution contains a first solvent. The first solvent is one or more selected from a fluorocarbonate ester, a fluorocarboxylate ester, a fluorosulfone, a fluoroether, or a fluorobenzene.
