NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt)
NMC (LiNiₓMnᵧCo₂O₂) is a widely used cathode material in lithium-ion batteries. Its production involves two core stages: precursor synthesis and lithiation.
Advantages：
- Short process: two-step method for preparing oxide precursors
- Low auxiliary materials: liquid alkali, ammonia, and nitrogen are no longer needed
- Zero emission: no water treatment solid investment costs, low operating costs mainly based on pyrolysis
~280-300 Wh/kg
- High Energy Density: NMC811 achieves ~280-300 Wh/kg, outperforming LFP and LCO.
2,000–4,000 cycles
Cycle Life: Optimized versions (e.g., single-crystal NMC) reach 2,000–4,000 cycles.
Temperature Tolerance: Operates in -20°C to 60°C, superior to NCA.
