Abstract

Provided are an electrode plate and a lithium-ion battery, the electrode plate includes a current collector layer, a semiconductor layer and an alkali metal replenishing layer. The semiconductor layer is disposed on at least one surface of the current collector layer. The alkali metal replenishing layer is a lithium-replenishing agent layer or a sodium-replenishing agent layer. The alkali metal replenishing layer is arranged on a side of the semiconductor layer far away from the current collector layer.
