While low- nickel NCM batteries, with higher cobalt content, typically cost less than high-nickel NCM batteries, there has been a trend for battery producers to favor high-nickel NCM chemistries because of their higher energy density and longer ranges.
South Korea’s leading battery materials maker L&F Co. plans to begin mass production of nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) battery cathodes with 95% nickel content – the highest nickel content for such a battery type – in December.
A process model has been developed and used to study the production process of a common lithium-ion cathode material, lithiated nickel manganese cobalt oxide, using the co-precipitation method. The process was simulated for a plant producing 6500 kg day−1.
Schematic of a process for the production of lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide powder. The product stream, a slurry of solid precipitates in a solution, is phase separated, and then filtered and washed several times. The filtration may be done in a rotary vacuum filter followed by drying in a spray dryer.
In addition to NCM cathodes with high-nickel content, L&F is also capable of producing nickel-cobalt-manganese-aluminum (NCMA) cathodes. LG Chem Ltd., the parent of LG Energy Solution, is reportedly focusing on mid-nickel batteries with nickel content between 40% and 60%.
But recently battery producers – particularly those in China and South Korea – have been turning back to low-nickel ternary materials to reduce the cost of their batteries.
