The following terms and definitions are applicable to this document.
3.1 Magnetic Impurities
Magnetic impurities refer to impurities in the cathode materials for lithium ion battery that can
be adsorbed by the magnetic bar with a magnetic induction intensity of not less than 0.5 T
(5,000 Gauss).
NOTE: magnetic impurities are usually simple elements or compounds of iron, chromium, nickel
and zinc.
3.2 Large Particle Magnetic Impurities
Large particle magnetic impurities refer to magnetic impurities with a diameter of not less than
10 m under the scanning electron microscope.
3.3 Residual Alkali
Residual alkali refers to alkaline substances attached to the surface of the particles of the
cathode materials for lithium ion battery.
NOTE: residual alkali mainly exists in the form of lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate. After
the test, all the amounts are expressed in terms of lithium carbonate as residual alkali and
in terms of lithium content as residual lithium.

4.1 Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry
4.1.1 Principle
In a clean environment free of magnetic impurities, use a magnetic bar to adsorb and enrich the
magnetic impurities in the cathode material. Use water to wash the enriched magnetic bar, so
as to remove the cathode material attached to the surface; use acid solution to dissolve the
magnetic impurities on the magnetic bar. Adopt the inductively coupled plasma atomic
emission spectrometer, at the recommended wavelength of each element, determine its
emission intensity. In accordance with the standard working curve, calculate the mass fraction
of each element.
