The invention relates to a positive pole piece and an electrochemical device. The positive pole piece comprises a metal current collector, a positive active material layer and a safety coating arranged between the metal current collector and the positive active material layer, wherein the safety coating comprises a polymer matrix, a conductive material and an inorganic filler, the positive activematerial layer contains Li<1+x>NiaCobMe<1-a-b>O2, x is greater than or equal to -0.1 and less than or equal to 0.2, a is greater than or equal to 0.6 and less than 1, b is greater than 0 and less than1, (1-a-b) is greater than 0 and less than 1, and Me is selected from at least one of Mn, Al, Mg, Zn, Ga, Ba, Fe, Cr, Sn, V, Sc, Ti and Zr; and the metal current collector is an aluminum-containing porous current collector. The positive pole piece can improve the electrical performance and safety performance of an electrochemical device (such as a capacitor, a primary battery or a secondary battery).
