Abstract: An electrochemical device includes a negative electrode, the negative electrode includes a current collector and an active material layer located on at least one surface of the current collector, the active material layer including an inorganic thickener. The inorganic thickener is used in this application to achieve the effect of improving adhesive force and cohesive force of the negative electrode, which can reduce the amount of a thickener and improve the dynamic performance.

Abstract: An electrochemical apparatus includes a negative electrode, where the negative electrode includes a current collector, a first coating, and a second coating. The second coating is provided on at least one surface of the current collector. The first coating is provided between the current collector and the second coating, and the first coating includes inorganic particles. A peeling force F between the first coating and the second coating satisfies 15 N?F?30 N. The first coating is provided between the current collector and the second coating of the negative electrode, and the first coating contains the inorganic particles, effectively enhancing adhesion between the current collector and the second coating, reducing the binder amount in the second coating, and increasing the proportion of a negative electrode active material in the negative electrode, thereby increasing the energy density of lithium-ion batteries.
