Preface

Lithium iron phosphate batteries have the advantages of high working voltage, large energy density, long cycle life, good safety performance, small self-discharge rate, and no memory effect. They also support stepless expansion, are suitable for large-scale power storage, and have good application prospects in renewable energy power stations, power grid peak shaving, emergency power systems and other fields. Therefore, lithium iron phosphate has become the mainstream choice for many power battery companies(Figure 1)。

The production quality of lithium iron phosphate is mainly affected by material characteristics, production process and quality control. Among them, metal ion impurities will have different degrees of impact on each component, for example,1）Boehmite used as a flame retardant for power batteries has high requirements for material purity. The presence of impurities will cause changes in its crystal structure, affecting the physical properties of Boehmite such as hardness, density, melting point, and greatly reducing its performance;2) In PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride, positive electrode binder) and its substitute - CMC (carboxymethylcellulose), if the impurities are incompatible with the matrix or are unevenly dispersed, it will lead to internal stress concentration of the material and degradation of mechanical properties;Or promote its degradation and cross-linking reactions to reduce its thermal stability;3) Metal impurities have complex and multi-faceted effects on the electrode material. For example, larger metal particles will directly pierce the separator, resulting in short circuits of the positive and negative electrodes, and metal impurities will be deposited on the electrode surface through electrochemical and chemical action, greatly affecting the safety performance and service life of the battery.

Therefore, in all aspects of the production of battery modules, accurate detection of metal impurities in raw materials and components is required in a timely manner, providing important guarantees for optimizing production processes, ensuring material and product quality, ensuring production safety and environmental friendliness.

two,Brief description of experimental steps

(1) Weigh 0.1 g of different samples into different digestion tanks, be careful not to hang the walls, add an appropriate amount of digestion solution and assemble the can;

(2) After setting up the digestion program on the system, start the digestion work;

(3) The digestion is completed. After the digestion tank is fully cooled, the digestion tank is opened in the fume hood, transfer the digestion solution into the container, and set the volume for subsequent analysis.

three,Results and discussion

The experiment was conducted with a micromate d7 microwave digester to digest boehmite, PVDF, CMC, APP, lithium iron phosphate and graphite. The samples after digestion were not precipitated and were clear and transparent.（Figure 4）, indicating that the sample pretreatment effect of this type of instrument is good.
