Battery, positive electrode plate, positive electrode slurry, and dispersant and preparation method thereof

Abstract

A battery, a positive electrode plate, a positive electrode slurry, a dispersant and its preparation method, and an electric device are disclosed. The battery includes a positive electrode plate having a current collector and a positive electrode material layer on at least one side. The material layer contains a positive electrode active material and a dispersant. The dispersant comprises a polyester compound that includes structural unit A and/or structural unit B. Structural unit A and B are defined by specific chemical formulas, where R1 and R2 are each selected from and C0, C1-C18 alkyl, and C6-C18 aryl groups; R3 and R4 are each selected from H, C1-C18 alkyl, C6-C18 aryl, or ester groups aryl, or ester groups. The dispersant improves the dispersion performance of the positive electrode slurry and enhances the uniformity and flexibility of the positive electrode plate, thereby contributing to higher capacity and improved stability of the battery.
