The positive electrode plate can improve the low-temperature performance of the battery, thereby bringing consumers a better experience when using products containing the battery.

The first channel structure is connected to the plurality of second channel structures. This can help to improve the wetting effect of the electrolyte and its storage capacity in the conductive layer. Even if the battery is under low temperature conditions, the electrolyte can have a good wetting effect and a higher storage capacity, so that the battery can still have good conductivity under low temperature conditions, thereby improving the low temperature performance of the battery.

[0041] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the positive electrode current collector has two surfaces facing each other in its thickness direction, and the positive electrode active material layer is provided on either or both of the two facing surfaces of the positive electrode current collector.

[0042] The positive electrode active material layer includes a positive electrode active material, which is generally a positive electrode active material for a battery cell known in the art. For example, the positive electrode active material may include lithium iron phosphate, lithium manganese phosphate, and the like.

[0043] In some embodiments, the mass content of the phosphate is 90%-98% based on the total mass of the positive electrode active material layer.

[0044] Illustratively, the mass content of phosphate can be 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or a range consisting of any two of the above values.

In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the porosity of the first pore structure is 40%-60%, and the porosity of the second pore structure is 70%-85%.
