[0075] Test method

[0076] 1. Capacity retention rate after high-low temperature impact test

[0077] Three pieces of each group of the prepared secondary batteries were taken out, and the three lithium ion batteries were charged and discharged by the following steps, and the discharge capacity retention rate of the batteries was calculated.

[0078] First, in an environment of 25°C, the first charging and discharging was carried out, first using a current of 0.5C for constant current charging, charging to 4.3V for constant voltage charging, then discharging at a current of 1C for constant current discharging, discharging to 2.8V, and recording the discharge capacity of the first cycle; then the lithium ion battery was placed in an environment of -20°C for 100 cycles of charging and discharging. After the low-temperature cycle, the lithium ion battery was transferred to an environment of 45°C within one hour for 200 cycles of charging and discharging, and the discharge capacity of the 200th cycle under the condition of 45°C was recorded.

[0079] Capacity retention rate = (discharge capacity of the 200th cycle / discharge capacity of the first cycle) x 100%.

[0080] The following criteria were used for evaluation. The higher the capacity retention rate, the more excellent the performance of the secondary battery after high-low temperature impact test.

[0081] A: the capacity retention rate is greater than 85%;

[0082] B: the capacity retention rate is greater than or equal to 80% and less than 85%;

[0083] C: the capacity retention rate is greater than or equal to 75% and less than 80%;

[0084] D: the capacity retention rate is less than 75%.

[0085] 2. Lithium ion acceptance after high-low temperature impact test

[0086] After the prepared secondary battery was allowed to stand for 24 hours in an environment of 35°C, a charging operation was carried out at a constant current of 1.0C for 1 hour in an environment of 35°C, and the high-temperature charging capacity (C0) was measured. Then, in an environment of 35°C, discharging was stopped at the time when discharging was carried out at a constant current of 0.1C to 3V. Next, in an environment of -15°C, a charging operation was carried out at a constant current of 1.0C for 1 hour, and the low-temperature charging capacity (C1) was measured. Then, the ratio of C1 to C0 (C1 / C0) was calculated, and the following criteria were used for evaluation. The larger the value of C1 / C0, the more excellent the lithium ion acceptance of the secondary battery at low temperature.

[0087] A: C1 / C0 is 0.65 or more;

[0088] B: C1 / C0 is 0.55 or more and less than 0.65;
