Abstract

A battery, a battery module, a battery pack and an electric device are provided. In some embodiments, the battery includes: a positive electrode, a separator and a negative electrode, wherein the separator includes a base film, a first coating provided on a first surface of the base film, and a second coating provided on a second surface of the base film, the first coating includes a first polar substance, and hydrogen bonds are formed between the first polar substance and a positive binder; hydrogen bonds are formed between the second polar substance and a negative binder and/or a negative active component. In the present disclosure, binding forces between the separator and the positive electrode and the negative electrode may be increased by the hydrogen bonds, thus reducing a cycle expansion rate of a bare cell and improving a high-rate discharge performance and a cycle performance of the battery.
