Ternary precursor and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field

Due to environmental concerns and concerns about resource shortages, new energy technologies are being vigorously developed in many countries of the world today. The lithium ion battery has been developed into one of the battery products with the widest application range at present by virtue of the characteristics of light weight, high energy density, environmental protection and no memory effect. Most of the electric automobiles use lithium ion batteries as power supplies, which is also the main application field of the lithium ion batteries. And more countries are beginning to announce the exit time point of fuel vehicles, the larger fuel vehicle market will be replaced by electric vehicles. Standing at a new starting point, under the guidance of a carbon neutralization concept, the clean, efficient and reusable lithium ion battery obtains a larger development space and has a wider development market.
The nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary precursor material prepared by the traditional method at present has large primary crystal grains and compact primary crystal grain distribution, so that the specific surface area of the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary precursor is small, and the difficulty in sintering the rear-end anode material is increased. Most of the sintered positive electrode material inherits the structural characteristics of the precursor material, so that the sintered positive electrode material has coarse and compact primary crystal grains and small specific particle surface area.
