The invention relates to a preparation method for 
nickel-
manganese-
cobalt compound 
hydroxide and a reaction kettle for preparing the 
nickel-
manganese-
cobalt compound 
hydroxide. The preparation method comprises the following steps: 1) dissolving a 
nickel salt, a 
manganese salt, a 
cobalt salt and an M-salt to obtain a multi-
metal salt solution; and 2) introducing a complexing agent solution, an alkali solution and the multi-
metal salt solution into the reaction kettle through a complexing agent tube, an alkali solution tube and a main 
salt solution tube respectively, heating, stirring, performing 
nucleation in a 
system in which pH is between 12.5 and 14, performing 
nucleus growth in a 
system in which the pH is between 10 and 12, and adjusting the flow proportion of a main salt solution tube to a 
branch salt solution tube if a 
granularity distribution width is detected to be over large in the 
nucleus growth process in order to control the 
granularity distribution width. In the preparation method for the nickel-manganese-cobalt compound 
hydroxide provided by the invention, a nucleating process and the 
nucleus growth process are separated through control of the two-segment pH values, and narrow-
granularity distribution nickel-manganese-cobalt compound hydroxide is obtained finally through adjustment of new 
crystal nucleuses and a 
growth speed in the nucleus growth process.
