Abstract

The thermodynamic analysis of Me 2+-NH3-OH--H2O(Me=Ni,Co,Mn) coprecipitation system was carried out,and the precursor Ni 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3(OH)2, for cathode material LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O2 was synthesized via a coprecipitation method,with NaOH as the precipitant and NH3·H2O as the complexing agent.The thermodynamic analysis shows that the optimal conditions are pH value of 11 and ammonia concentration 0.1~0.5mol/L,and the loss of Ni 2+,Co 2+ and Mn 2+ reaches the minimum,that is,1×10 -3,1×10 -3 and 1×10 -6 mol/L,respectively.The molar ratio of Ni/Co/Mn in the synthesized precursor is 0.324∶0.349∶0.327,which approximates the desired 1∶1∶1,and the tap density of the synthesized precursor is up to 1.32g/cm3 when pH value is 11 and an ammonia concentration is 0.24mol/L.
