After the button cell is made, it is left to stand for 4 hours in a normal environment, and then a first charge and discharge capacity test is carried out, with the test conditions as below: charging to 4.5V at 0.1 C, charging to 0.025 C at constant voltage, and cutting off to stand for 3 minutes, then discharging to 3.0V at 0.1 C. The first discharge gram capacity C0 mAh/g is recorded, and at the same time, a discharge gram capacity within the range from the beginning of discharge to the cut-off voltage 4.4V is defined as C1 mAh/g, the gram capacity discharged within discharge voltage range of 3.8V-3.7V in the discharge capacity is defined as C2 mAh/g, and C1/C0 and C2/C0 are calculated.

then cycle performance of the lithium ion battery is tested. The cycle performance test process is as follows: at 25° C., charge to 4.50V at a constant current with a charge rate of 1 C, then charge to 4.50V at a constant voltage with a charge rate of 0.05 C, and then discharge to 3.0V at a discharge rate of 1 C. This charge and discharge cycle is repeated for 500 times. A discharge capacity at the first cycle and a discharge capacity at the 500th cycle are determined, to calculate capacity retention rate after the cycles: capacity retention rate after cycles=(discharge capacity at the 500th cycle)/(discharge capacity at the first cycle)*100%. The results are shown in Table 2.
