The invention relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a battery. The battery comprises a positive plate, a negative plate,
electrolyte and a diaphragm located between the positive plate and the negative plate, the diaphragm comprises a base material and a
ceramic layer located on the surface of one side or two sides of the base material, the
ceramic layer comprises
inorganic particles, the
ceramic layer is of a porous structure, the porous structure comprises holes with the
diameter larger than or equal to 0.5
micrometer, and the coverage rate of the holes with the
diameter larger than or equal to 0.5
micrometer in the surface of the ceramic layer is 10%-50%; the negative plate comprises a negative
current collector and a negative active material layer coated on the surface of one side or two sides of the negative
current collector, the negative active material layer comprises a negative active material, the negative active material comprises a
silicon material, and the average particle size D1 of the
silicon material is 1-10 [mu] m; the battery satisfies the following relational expression: 0.5 < = D1 / D2 < = 5, and D2 is the
average diameter of holes of the ceramic layer, the
diameter of which is greater than or equal to 0.5 [mu] m, and the unit is [mu] m. The battery disclosed by the invention has the advantages of low
expansion rate,
high rate capability and good quick
charge cycle performance.
