and (4) carrying out particle size measurement treatment on the screened lithium supplement additive, and calculating a particle size distribution Coefficient of Variation (CV) value according to the detected particle size data.
In the embodiment of the present application, the method for determining the particle size of the lithium supplement additive after being screened may be implemented by using methods such as national standard or enterprise standard, and the method for determining the particle size of the lithium supplement additive after being screened includes the following steps:
and obtaining a field emission scanning electron microscope picture of the screened lithium supplement additive, selecting a plurality of sample particles in the field emission scanning electron microscope picture, and measuring the particle sizes of the sample particles.
The electron microscope (SEM) picture of the screened lithium supplement additive is obtained by adopting a field emission scanning electron microscope, so that the detection rate of the particle size can be effectively improved, and the efficiency of calculating the Coefficient of Variation (CV) value is improved. The number of the plurality of sample particles in the SEM picture is understood to be multiple, and the larger the number is, the more the CV value can be obtained, which represents the actual particle size distribution of the lithium supplement additive obtained by screening treatment. The number of sample particles may be, but is not limited to, 50. In order to improve the accuracy of the particle size measurement of the sample particles, in the embodiment, before the step of measuring the particle sizes of a plurality of sample particles, the field emission scanning electron microscope photograph is magnified, such as but not limited to 1000 times, for clarity and to improve the accuracy of the particle size measurement.
The particle size of the particles of the plurality of samples can be measured by using image analysis software and the like, so that the accuracy, precision and efficiency of particle size measurement are improved.
The CV value of the particle size distribution variation coefficient calculated according to the detected particle size data is calculated according to the following formula:

wherein N in the formula for calculating CV value represents the total number of particles of several samples, X i Indicates the particle size of the ith sample particle,
Figure BDA0003446244450000112
the average value of the particle sizes of all samples is shown.
Based on the particle size control method of the lithium supplement additive in the embodiment of the application, the particle size of the lithium supplement additive can be effectively uniform, so that the lithium supplement additive has the effect of the lithium supplement additive in the above application. If the lithium ion battery has small lithium ion extraction rate difference, lithium ions can be extracted and released in a centralized manner in the first-circle charging process, and the first effect is improved. In the process of preparing the electrode, the surface quality of the electrode plate can be improved, the uniform dispersion degree in the active layer is improved, and the quality and the electrochemical performance of the electrode plate are improved. Meanwhile, on the premise of ensuring the uniform particle size of the lithium supplement additive, the lithium supplement additive with different particle size gradients can be obtained through screening treatment such as multi-stage screening treatment, and the application requirements of the lithium supplement additive with different particle sizes are met.
In addition, step S01 and step S02 of the method for controlling the particle size of the lithium supplement additive according to the embodiment of the present application are preferably performed in a protective atmosphere, such as a protective atmosphere of nitrogen or an inert gas, to improve the stability of the lithium supplement additive. When the lithium supplement additive is the above lithium supplement additive without the dense encapsulation layer, it is more desirable to perform the lithium supplement in a protective atmosphere to ensure the lithium supplement performance of the lithium supplement additive and the stability of the lithium supplement. The lithium supplement additive can ensure that the obtained lithium supplement additive has uniform particle size, high efficiency and strong correlation, and saves the control cost.
When the lithium supplement additive in steps S01 and S02 is the above lithium supplement additive without the dense encapsulation layer, and the variation coefficient CV value of the variation coefficient obtained by the particle size control method of the lithium supplement additive in the embodiment of the present application is less than 0.5, when the above dense encapsulation layer is coated, because the variation coefficient CV value of the particle size distribution of the lithium supplement additive is less than 0.5, the thickness of the above dense encapsulation layer formed on the surface of the lithium supplement additive is more uniform, the thickness of the dense encapsulation layer contained in each particle is more consistent, the yield of the coating process is high, and the electrochemical properties such as the lithium supplement effect of the coated lithium supplement additive are improved.

If the particle size of each source compound raw material of the lithium supplement additive is controlled by the particle size control method of the embodiment of the application, so that the particle size of each source compound raw material is uniform, in the thermal reaction, for example, when each source compound raw material is thermally treated by a microwave heating mode, the microwave heating mode is to convert the raw material into heat energy by absorbing microwave energy by a reactant, so that the whole body of each source compound raw material is heated at the same time, the heating is very uniform, the problems of inconsistent reaction rate, inconsistent crystal growth rate and the like caused by local temperature difference of a reaction system are avoided, and the lithium supplement additive precursor particles with consistent chemical composition and uniform particle size are favorably obtained. At this time, because the particle size of the precursor particle of the lithium supplement additive is uniform, in the subsequent process of generating the lithium supplement additive, because the particle size of the precursor particle of the lithium supplement additive is uniform, the crystal form and the electrochemical performance of the generated lithium supplement additive also have high consistency, and the particle size uniformity of the particles is higher.

And the electrode plate has high surface quality, has low or completely avoided adverse phenomena such as salient points and the like, and can effectively avoid the problem of unsatisfactory electrochemical performance of the electrode plate caused by aggregation because components in an electrode active layer, such as electrode active ingredients, particularly lithium supplement additives, are uniformly dispersed.
