Electrode plate, manufacturing method thereof, secondary battery, and electric apparatus

Abstract

An electrode plate includes a current collector, an active material layer, a conductive member, and an insulating layer. The current collector includes a first portion and a second portion adjacently disposed along a first direction. The active material layer is disposed on the first portion, and the active material layer includes a first covering portion and a second covering portion sequentially disposed along the first direction, where along a thickness direction of the current collector, a thickness of the second covering portion is less than a thickness of the first covering portion. The conductive member is connected to the second portion. The insulating layer is disposed on the second portion, on at least a part of a surface of the conductive member facing away from the current collector, and on at a least part of a surface of the second covering portion facing away from the current collector.
