Abstract: Disclosed are a negative electrode plate and use thereof. For the negative electrode plate provided in the present disclosure, a negative electrode active layer is coated with a safety function layer containing metal and ceramic, which effectively improve an electrode potential of a negative electrode and a nucleation energy barrier of metal lithium of a lithium-ion battery in a charging process at a low temperature and a high rate, thereby avoiding occurrence of a lithium precipitation phenomenon at the negative electrode. Because of good heat insulation performance of the ceramic, occurrence of a thermal runaway phenomenon in a nail penetration test may be effectively avoided, and safety performance of the battery may be improved. When the negative electrode plate is applied to the lithium-ion battery, the obtained lithium-ion battery has advantages of good cycling performance and high security.

The functional particles are filled up in internal pores of the porous substrate, and the coating layer is arranged on the upper and lower surface of the porous substrate; the functional particles are oxides of which the outer layers comprise —NH or —NH2 groups. As the functional particles are contained in the separator, the —NH— or —NH2 groups can effectively adsorb an acidic substance in a lithium ion battery; the acid content in the lithium ion battery is reduced, and hydrophilic groups on the outer layers of the functional particles can improve the wettability of an electrolyte, increase lithium ion channels, and improve a liquid retention rate of the separator. Therefore, the separator provided in the present disclosure can improve cycling performance and safety performance.

Furthermore, the high-swelling binder is bound to the separator well in a hot pressing process, so as to improve an interface bonding effect.
