In one embodiment, the specific surface area of the positive electrode material is measured after being compressed. In particular, the positive electrode material is compressed under a pressure i, ground and sieved. The specific surface area of the positive electrode material through the sieve is tested. SSAi is the specific surface area of the positive electrode material after compressing, and SSA0 is the specific surface area of the positive electrode material before compressing. The increase rate in the specific surface area is calculated using the formula ΔSSAi=(SSAi?SSA0/SSA0.
In a preferred embodiment, when the compressing pressure i is 1.5 tons, the positive electrode material after compressing may have an increase rate in the specific surface area ΔSSA1.5 of not more than 15%;
