[0052] In the preparation method of the electrode material of the present application, the manganese iron phosphate, lithium source, carbon source and solvent are first mixed and ground, and then aged. During the mixing and grinding process, the defects of the particles increase and the surface activity of the particles is enhanced, so that the lithium source and the carbon source can be fully mixed with the manganese iron phosphate and form stable lithium manganese iron phosphate. During the aging process, the fine nanoparticles grow by aggregation, and the crystal lattice of the lithium manganese iron phosphate is continuously optimized. This method can make the structure of the particles more uniform and complete, and tend to be spherical structure, which is beneficial to shorten the lithium ion transmission path and improve the capacity and low temperature performance of the material. In the embodiments of the present application, the viscosity of the first slurry obtained after the manganese iron phosphate, lithium source, carbon source and solvent are mixed and ground is 200 cp to 500 cp, and the D v 50 of the particles in the first slurry is 0.2 pm to 0.5 pm.

In the embodiments of the present application, the viscosity of the second slurry is 100-300cp. When the viscosity of the second slurry is 100-300cp, it indicates that the particles in the slurry are relatively stable.

In some embodiments of the present application, the crushing includes one or more of jet milling, mortar grinding or roll processing. In some embodiments, the product is processed by jet milling, the principle of which is that by applying a certain pressure of gas flow, the particles collide with each other, so that the secondary particles composed of primary particles become well-dispersed primary particles. The pressure of jet milling is 0.5 MPa to 1 MPa, and the pressure of jet milling can be specifically but not limited to 0.5 MPa, 0.6 MPa, 0.8 MPa or 1 MPa.
