Thereby, the reactivity of nickel cobalt manganese compound hydroxide particles and a lithium compound improves.
- the peak of the (101) plane appears clearly. Therefore, when the crystallinity is high, the peak intensity ratio is high, and as the crystallinity is lowered, the peak of the (101) plane is weakened and the peak intensity ratio is lowered.

If the oxygen supply time is less than 1.5 hours, the reaction may not proceed until sufficient oxidation of the nickel-cobalt-manganese composite hydroxide particles is achieved regardless of the oxygen supply amount per hour. On the other hand, when the oxygen supply time exceeds 10 hours, not only the oxygen is wasted, but the oxidation reaction proceeds too much and the specific surface area becomes too large.
