Abstract

Disclosed is a method for preparing positive electrode active material slurry, which includes the steps of: (S1) preparing a positive electrode active material, a linear conductive material, a polymer binder and a solvent; (S2) introducing 40-80% of the prepared polymer binder, the positive electrode active material and the linear conductive material to the solvent, followed by mixing, to obtain a first positive electrode active material slurry; and (S3) further introducing the remaining polymer binder to the first positive electrode active material slurry, followed by mixing, to obtain a second positive electrode active material slurry.

Claims (10)

1. A method for preparing positive electrode active material slurry, which comprises the steps of:

(1) preparing a positive electrode active material, a linear conductive material, a polymer binder and a solvent;

(S2) introducing 40-80% of the prepared polymer binder, the positive electrode active material and the linear conductive material to the solvent, followed by mixing, to obtain the a positive electrode active material slurry; and

(S3) further introducing the remaining polymer binder to the first positive electrode active material slurry, followed by mixing, to obtain a homogeneous second positive electrode active material slurry.

2. The method for preparing positive electrode active material slurry according to claim 1 , wherein the first positive electrode active material slurry has a solid content of 74%-79% and the second positive electrode active material slurry has a solid content of 71%-73%.

3. The method for preparing positive electrode active material slurry according to claim 1 , wherein the linear conductive material is at least one selected from the group consisting of carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers and graphene.

4. The method for preparing positive electrode active material slurry according to claim 1 , wherein the linear conductive material comprises carbon nanotubes.

5.
