  • Publication number: 20240387804
    Abstract: Disclosed are a negative electrode active material, and a negative electrode plate and a battery including the negative electrode active material. The negative electrode active material of the present disclosure is a secondary particle having a larger particle size and a higher sphericity degree formed from several particulates having smaller particle sizes and lower sphericity degrees. Isotropy of the negative electrode active material is relatively high, and the particulates in the secondary particle make a migration path of lithium ions relatively short, so that the lithium ions can be intercalated and deintercalated quickly, implementing fast charging performance of the battery.

  • Publication number: 20230089391
    Abstract: Disclosed are a positive electrode plate and a battery including the positive electrode plate. The positive electrode plate includes a positive electrode current collector, at least one thermosensitive coating layer, at least one composite fusion layer, and at least one positive electrode active material layer. The thermosensitive coating layer has electrical conductivity at room temperature, and has advantages of increasing a contact area between the active material and the current collector, effectively reducing battery polarization, and the like. When a temperature of the positive electrode plate during use reaches a thermosensitive temperature and higher, thermosensitive polymer microspheres melt to form at least one continuous electron blocking layer, therefore forming a current blockage, and an internal blockage is formed inside the battery, thereby preventing further thermal runaway of a secondary battery, and improving safety performance of the secondary battery.
