The invention discloses a method for determining the content of an additive in 
lithium ion battery electrolyte, and the method comprises the following steps of firstly, manufacturing and obtaining a plurality of 
standard sequence batteries; secondly, charging each 
standard sequence battery at 
constant current, and measuring 
voltage and capacity; thirdly, drawing a capacity differential curve of each 
standard sequence battery to obtain a reaction peak position and integrating to obtain reaction peak height and 
peak area data; fourthly, drawing a scatter diagram of the standard sequence battery,and fitting to obtain a quantitative relation between the quality of the additive and the reaction 
peak area or peak height data; fifthly, as for the 
electrolyte to be measured having the additive tobe measured, manufacturing 
electrolyte battery to be measured; and sixthly, drawing a capacity differential curve of the 
electrolyte battery to be measured to obtain the reaction peak position, integrating to obtain reaction the peak height and 
peak area data, and calculating the quality of the additive with the content to be measured. The method for determining the content of the additive in 
lithium ion battery electrolyte can accurately and reliably measure the content of the additive in the 
lithium ion battery electrolyte.
