  • Publication number: 20250337010
    Abstract: A battery, the preparation of a battery, and a powered device are described. The battery includes a negative electrode plate that includes a negative electrode current collector and an active layer. The active layer is located on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector. The active layer includes an active substance, a gel electrolyte, and a liquid electrolyte. An expansion rate of the negative electrode plate is greater than or equal to 10%. When the active substance expands during cycling, the gel electrolyte can stably fix the liquid electrolyte in the negative electrode plate, thereby reducing the risk of squeezing-induced leakage of a liquid electrolyte solution due to the expansion of the active substance. Thus, the negative electrode plate can maintain a relatively stable kinetic performance, thereby improving the cycling performance of the battery.
