The present invention relates to the technical field of
analytical chemistry, and in particular to a measurement method for
nickel, iron,
copper and
manganese in a battery material, comprising: first measuring the content of a
manganese element, the content of an iron element, the content of a
copper element, and the total amount of
nickel, iron,
copper and
manganese elements, respectively, and then calculating the content of the
nickel element on the basis of the total amount of nickel, iron, copper and manganese and the contents of the manganese element, the iron element and the copper element. During measurement of the content of the manganese element in the battery material,
sodium pyrophosphate is used as a
masking agent, such that Fe3+ can be masked while
disproportionation of Mn3+ is inhibited, thereby achieving a double-masking effect, and ensuring the measurement accuracy of the manganese content. Therefore, the objective of accurately measuring the contents of four elements, i.e., nickel, iron, copper and manganese, in the battery material is achieved. In the measurement method, no expensive
measurement device is required, and a constant analysis means is used; and by efficiently using the
masking agent, the interference of coexistence elements on a specific element measurement method is effectively avoided, thereby achieving a stable and reliable measurement result.
