In the embodiment, the foil layer is used as a matrix and provides the functions of supporting and collecting current; the lithium supplement layer provides a lithium source to provide additional lithium for the battery so as to supplement the consumption of the lithium of the SEI film of the negative electrode during the first charging of the battery and the loss of lithium ions in the cycle, thereby improving the first effect, the capacity and the cycle life of the battery; the positive temperature coefficient thermistor layer can isolate air from contacting with the lithium supplement layer, protects the lithium supplement layer from being oxidized, and facilitates the transportation of a current collector and the manufacturing and processing of a battery. The positive temperature coefficient thermistor layer has the characteristics of low temperature small resistance and high temperature large resistance, and when the temperature exceeds a certain critical value, the resistance of the thermistor layer is rapidly increased. Therefore, in the battery using the current collector, when the temperature exceeds the safety temperature, the resistance of the positive temperature coefficient thermistor layer is increased rapidly, the migration rate of the current and lithium ions in the battery is reduced rapidly, and the risk of thermal runaway of the battery is greatly reduced. And the positive temperature coefficient thermistor layer prevents the lithium supplement layer from being in direct contact with the positive and negative active materials, and the risk of too high reaction speed and temperature rise of lithium in the lithium supplement layer can be avoided due to the resistance characteristic of the positive temperature coefficient thermistor layer which rises along with the temperature.
