Low cost and high efficiency extraction method of lithium nickel cobalt manganate as cathode material for lithium ion batteries

Lithium nickel cobalt manganate (NCM) is a promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its high energy density and good cycling stability. There are several low-cost and high-efficiency methods for extracting NCM, including:

  1. Sol-gel method: This method involves mixing the metal precursors with a solvent to form a gel, which is then dried and calcined to form the NCM powder. The sol-gel method can produce high-purity NCM with a narrow particle size distribution, but it requires a long synthesis time and a high-temperature calcination step.
  2. Co-precipitation method: This method involves adding the metal precursors to a solution and then adding a precipitating agent to form NCM particles. The co-precipitation method is fast and cost-effective, but it can produce NCM with a wide particle size distribution.
  3. Hydrothermal synthesis: This method involves heating the metal precursors in a high-pressure vessel with water to form NCM particles. The hydrothermal synthesis method can produce NCM with a high degree of crystallinity and a narrow particle size distribution, but it requires a high-pressure vessel and a long synthesis time.
  4. Solid-state reaction method: This method involves mixing the metal precursors and a lithium source together and then heating them at high temperatures to form NCM. The solid-state reaction method is cost-effective, but it can produce NCM with a wide particle size distribution.

Among these methods, the co-precipitation method is often considered the most practical for large-scale production due to its high efficiency and low cost. However, a combination of multiple methods may be needed to achieve the desired quality and particle size distribution of NCM for specific applications.
