LiNiCoMnO2 Ni Co Mn 8 1 1 NCM 811 Cathode Material Lithium Ion Battery High Nickel Ternary NMC

Product Overview

This premium high-nickel ternary cathode material features an optimized nickel-cobalt-manganese stoichiometric composition of 8:1:1 ($LiNi_{0.8}Co_{0.1}Mn_{0.1}O_2$), engineered specifically for next-generation lithium-ion battery research and high-energy-density cell manufacturing. Available in advanced single-crystal and engineered polycrystalline structural morphologies, this powder delivers superior specific discharge capacity, exceptional first-cycle coulombic efficiency, and enhanced structural robustness across broad operating voltages.

Designed for demanding electrochemical environments, the material addresses the traditional challenges of high-nickel chemistries through strict control of particle morphology, trace impurities, and surface residual lithium compounds ($LiOH$ and $Li_2CO_3$). This makes the product an ideal active material for researchers and industrial engineers developing high-performance pouch, cylindrical, and prismatic cells for electric vehicle propulsion, aerospace systems, grid-scale energy storage, and premium consumer electronics.

Synthesized under rigorous quality assurance protocols, this ternary powder ensures dependable batch-to-batch repeatability and thermal resilience during repeated charge-discharge cycling. Whether configured for room-temperature cycling or elevated-temperature operations up to 45°C, the cathode powder maintains high capacity retention and robust structural integrity under aggressive C-rate protocols.

Key Features

• High Nickel Stoichiometric Formulation: Formulated with an 80% nickel ratio to maximize lithium-ion extraction efficiency, delivering a specific discharge capacity exceeding 205–210 mAh/g at 0.1C within a standard 3.0–4.3V voltage window.
• Controlled Particle Size Distribution: Tailored particle sizing with a controlled D50 distribution ensures optimal packing density, facilitating uniform slurry rheology, defect-free doctor-blade coating, and exceptional electrode calendering response.
• Ultra-Low Residual Lithium Content: Tight thermal processing limits residual surface lithium hydroxide ($LiOH \le 0.30–0.40\text{ wt}%$) and lithium carbonate ($Li_2CO_3 \le 0.30\text{ wt}%$), significantly suppressing slurry gelation and reducing cell gas evolution during high-voltage cycling.
• High Tap and Compacted Density: Achieves a tap density of $\ge 2.1\text{ g/cm}^3$ and a powder compacted density of $\ge 3.2\text{ g/cm}^3$, enabling high volumetric energy density in compact cell form factors.
• Superior Thermal and High-Temperature Stability: Demonstrates exceptional electrochemical stability at elevated operating temperatures (45°C), delivering an initial discharge capacity of 222.2 mAh/g and over 93% capacity retention after 50 cycles.
• Stringent Magnetic Contaminant Control: Processed with advanced electromagnetic separation to keep ferromagnetic impurities ($Fe + Cr$) strictly below 100 ppb, minimizing micro-short risks and self-discharge rates in assembled cells.
• Low Moisture Absorption: Maintained at $\le 600\text{ ppm}$ moisture content through hermetic barrier packaging, preventing active transition metal reduction and hydrofluoric acid ($HF$) formation in non-aqueous electrolytes.
• Versatile Structural Options: Offered in both single-crystal morphology for maximum mechanical durability against micro-cracking and polycrystalline agglomerate morphology for rapid lithium diffusion kinetics.
