Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0024] Hereinafter, embodiments specifically disclosing the secondary battery and the power consumption device of the present application will be described in detail with appropriate reference to the drawings. However, detailed descriptions that are not necessary may be omitted. For example, detailed descriptions of well-known matters and duplicate descriptions of structures that are actually the same may be omitted. This is to avoid the following description from becoming unnecessarily long and to enable those skilled in the art to easily understand. Note that the drawings and the following description are provided to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the present application and do not limit the theme described in the claims.

[0025] The "range" disclosed in the present application is limited in the form of a lower limit and an upper limit, and the given range is limited by selecting one lower limit and one upper limit. The selected lower limit and upper limit define the boundary of a specific range. The range thus limited may or may not include the end values, and any combination is possible, that is, any lower limit can be combined with any upper limit to form a range. For example, when ranges of 60 - 120 and 80 - 110 are listed for a specific parameter, ranges of 60 - 110 and 80 - 120 are also understood to be conceivable. Note that if 1 and 2 are listed as the minimum range values and 3, 4, and 5 are listed as the maximum range values, ranges of 1 - 3, 1 - 4, 1 - 5, 2 - 3, 2 - 4, and 2 - 5 are all conceivable. In the present application, unless otherwise specified, the numerical range of "a - b" represents a shortened expression of any real number combination of a - b, where both a and b are real numbers. For example, the numerical range "0 - 5" means that all real numbers between "0 - 5" are listed in this specification, and "0 - 5" is only a shortened expression of the combination of these numerical values. Also, when a certain parameter is expressed as an integer ≧ 2, it corresponds to disclosing that the parameter is, for example, the integer 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc.

[0026] Unless otherwise specified, all embodiments and alternative embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.

[0027] Unless otherwise specified, all the technical features and optional technical features of this application can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.

[0028] Unless otherwise specified, all the steps of this application may be performed in sequence or randomly, and preferably, they are performed in sequence. For example, the fact that the method includes steps (a) and (b) means that the method may include steps (a) and (b) performed in sequence, or steps (b) and (a) performed in sequence. For example, the fact that the method mentioned above may further include step (c) means that step (c) may be added to the method in any order. For example, the method may include steps (a), (b) and (c), or steps (a), (c) and (b), or steps (c), (a) and (b), etc.

[0029] Unless otherwise specified, the terms "comprising" and "including" mentioned in this application represent an open type and may also be a closed type. For example, the "comprising" and "including" may further include or contain other components not listed, or may include or contain only the components listed.

[0030] Unless otherwise specified, the term "or" in this application is inclusive. For example, the phrase "A or B" represents "A, B, or both A and B". More specifically, any of the conditions where A is true (or exists) and B is false (or does not exist), A is false (or does not exist) but B is true (or exists), and both A and B are true (or exist) satisfy "A or B".

[0031] At present, the improvement of the separator is usually achieved by applying a ceramic coating and / or an adhesive coating on the base film. After the pressure inside the battery increases, the adhesive coating is crushed and flattened, blocking the ion passage between the separator and the electrode plate, resulting in insufficient wetting of the electrolyte, and even problems such as black spots and lithium precipitation. In addition, in the improvement of the separator, the cooperation with the positive and negative electrodes is not considered. Therefore, the improvement of the conventional secondary battery, especially the separator, requires further improvement. The inventor has found through research that when the void volume of the separator in the secondary battery and the capacity per unit area of the negative electrode film layer have a specific relationship, the capacity of the negative electrode can be guaranteed together with the wetting ability of the separator, and thus the corresponding secondary battery has good cycle performance.
