The invention relates to a 
lithium ion battery 
slurry preparation apparatus. The 
lithium ion battery 
slurry preparation apparatus comprises a 
powder storage tank, a 
dry powder mixing and dispersing device, a 
solvent storage tank, a primary dispersion device, a 
buffer tank A, a secondary dispersion device, a 
buffer tank B, a third dispersion device, and a vacuum defoaming 
storage tank; the primary dispersion device, the 
buffer tank A, the secondary dispersion device, the buffer tank B, the third dispersion device and the vacuum defoaming storage tank are connected through the pipelines in order; the temperature-detecting devices are arranged on the secondary dispersion device and the third dispersion device; a beta-
ray density 
detector and an on-line 
viscosity detector are arranged between the outlet of the secondary dispersion equipment and the buffer tank, and the beta-
ray density 
detector and the on-line 
viscosity detector are arranged between the thrid dispersion equipment and the vacuum defoaming storage tank. The invention also relates to a method for preparing a 
lithium battery 
slurry by using the apparatus, the used apparatus has 
advantage of high production efficiency, the dispersion of the slurry is uniform, the 
slurry viscosity consistency can be better controlled, and the same batch of the slurry is basically controlled at + / -700 mPa.S.
