  • Publication number: 20240128454
    Abstract: A negative electrode plate, a battery, and a battery pack are provided. The negative electrode plate includes a negative current collector and a negative material layer disposed on a surface of the negative current collector. The negative material layer includes a hard carbon material containing primary particles and secondary particles, and the primary particles have a defect value different from that of the secondary particles. In comparison with the solution of only using one kind of hard carbon particles having the same defect value as the negative material layer, the negative electrode plate of the present disclosure includes two kinds of hard carbon particles with different defect values, which combines the excellent properties of the two kinds of hard carbon particles. Therefore the negative electrode plate has excellent properties while satisfying the requirements of a battery, such as high energy density, high first-cycle discharge efficiency, and excellent rate performance.

    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a data sending method, an apparatus, a device, and a readable storage medium. A server determines a first transmission point from a coordinated set, and determines a first downlink sending weight of the first transmission point. Then, the server determines a second downlink sending weight of a second transmission point based on the first downlink sending weight, and sends the second downlink sending weight to the second transmission point. When sending a data stream to an electronic device, the second transmission point determines a downlink sending weight corresponding to the data stream from a matrix, weights the data stream, and sends the weighted data stream to the electronic device.
