The invention relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a diaphragm and a preparation method thereof, a secondary battery and an electric device. The separator comprises: a
fibrous membrane; and the gel body is arranged in the pores of the
fiber membrane, and the gel body comprises a
silica gel matrix and
solid electrolyte particles dispersed in the
silica gel matrix. According to the diaphragm provided by the invention, the pores of the
fiber membrane are filled with the gel, the gel and the
fiber membrane form an interpenetrating
network structure, the number and efficiency of
ion conduction channels are improved, the
silica gel matrix is used as a carrier to fix the
solid electrolyte particles, and a continuous
ion conduction path is formed, so that the
ion conductivity of the diaphragm is improved, and the service life of the diaphragm is prolonged. The
internal resistance of the battery is reduced, so that the rate capability and the cycle life of the battery are improved; meanwhile, pores of the fiber membrane are filled with the gel, so that the thickness of the diaphragm is not additionally increased, the
energy density of the battery is improved, and the problem that a
coating structure is easy to fall off in the prior art is solved.
