The present invention discloses a preparation process of food-grade potassium dihydrogen phosphate, wherein phosphoric acid prepared from wet-process phosphoric acid is used for the preparation of high-purity potassium dihydrogen phosphate. The preparation process of food-grade potassium dihydrogen phosphate provided in the present invention effectively reduces the preparation cost of the high-purity potassium dihydrogen phosphate and has the advantage of high process controllability, and by such a process, high-purity potassium dihydrogen phosphate crystals that meet the food-grade requirements can be produced, which crystals have uniform particle size distribution and comprises few fine powder, having a very high market value.

A process is provided using a concentrated sodium bicarbonate solution as a solubilizer mixed with a calcium hydroxide to chemically produce an insoluble calcium carbonate and produce an alkaline liquid solution, then passing the alkaline liquid solution through detrimental gases in a scrubber to produce an enhanced sodium bicarbonate which regenerates the sodium bicarbonate thus creating a continuous closed loop. The process can also produce a sodium phosphate (trisodium phosphate) by mixing the alkaline liquid solution with a phosphoric acid.

A preparation method of CsDFP for aqueous negative electrode slurry includes carrying out ion exchange reactions with LiPO.sub.2F.sub.2 and a cesium source. The activation energy of Li.sup.+ intercalation in the negative electrode is reduced due to the existence of Cs.sup.+, leading to a better rate performance. Further, the impedance growth rate of the batteries is reduced and the high temperature storage performance is excellent since PO.sub.2F.sub.2— participates in the electrochemical reaction to form a stable low-impedance SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode plate. Moreover, films are continuously formed to repair the SEI films under the gradual release of CsDFP, which is conducive to inhibiting the growth of lithium dendrites during long-term high-rate cycling, thereby obtaining an improved cycle performance.

A method for manufacturing a dense layer that includes: supplying a substrate and a suspension of non-agglomerated nanoparticles of a material P; depositing a layer on the substrate using the suspension; drying the layer thus obtained; and densifying the dried layer by mechanical compression and/or heat treatment.
