Abstract

A negative electrode piece and a secondary battery including the same. A type of polymer different from that in the prior art is selected as a component in the negative electrode piece, the polymer has high elasticity, high extensibility, can replace the polymer in the existing negative electrode piece, and can effectively improve and enhance the transmission performance of lithium ions and reduce the internal resistance of the lithium-ion battery. At the same time, it can effectively reduce side reactions caused by the expansion of the negative electrode piece, improve lithium conductive channels inside the negative electrode piece, and improve battery performance of the negative electrode piece during the battery cycling.

Claims (13)

1 . A negative electrode piece, comprising a negative-electrode current collector and a negative-electrode active material layer coated on one or both surfaces of the negative-electrode current collector, the negative-electrode active material layer comprising a negative-electrode active material, a conductive agent and a polymer, wherein the polymer comprises a repeating unit as shown in Formula 1 below:

in Formula 1, R 1 is selected from H or C 1-6 alkyl group; R 2 is selected from a connecting group; R 3 is selected from a capping group; M is a polyphenylene oxide chain segment; and

the polyphenylene oxide chain segment has a repeating unit shown in Formula 2:

in Formula 2, R 4 is selected from H or C 1-3 alkyl group, and m is an integer between 0-2,

wherein R 2 is a connecting group formed by a reaction of hydroxyl group in

with R 3′ in

R 3 and R 3′ are same or different, and are each independently selected from H, OH, COOH and NH 2 and are not H at the same time.

2 . The negative electrode piece according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer is polyphenylene oxide polyacrylate.

3 . The negative electrode piece according to claim 1 , wherein the negative-electrode active material layer comprises the following components in mass percentage of content:
