Battery

Abstract

A battery comprises a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate. The negative electrode plate comprises a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material layer located on a surface on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector. The negative electrode active material layer comprises a negative electrode active material, and the negative electrode active material comprises graphite particles and silicon-carbon particles. The graphite particles comprise first graphite particles and second graphite particles. The particle size Dv50 of the first graphite particles is greater than that of the second graphite particles. The positive electrode plate comprises a positive electrode active material, and the positive electrode active material comprises a material with a chemical formula of LiaNixCoyMnzMkO2. The battery of the present disclosure can have high energy density, low expansion rate and excellent cycling performance.
