Abstract

An electrochemical device includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator. The negative electrode includes a negative active material. The negative active material includes at least one of silicon, tin, germanium, antimony, bismuth, and aluminum. The separator includes a porous substrate and a coating. The coating is located between the porous substrate and the negative electrode, and the coating includes a polymer binder. Based on a total weight of the coating, a weight percent of the polymer binder is 1%-100%, and a ratio of a weight of the polymer binder in the coating per unit area to a specific capacity of a corresponding component of the negative electrode per unit area is 0.00013 mg/mAh-0.00045 mg/mAh.
