The invention discloses a method for preparing a precursor of a positive material of a
nickel manganese cobalt multi-element
lithium ion battery. The method comprises the following steps of: firstly, dissolving
nickel,
cobalt and
manganese with deionized water, and preparing a multi-element
metal salt solution with the total
metal ionic
molar concentration between 0.8 and 2.5mol / L, wherein the
molar ratio of
nickel to
cobalt to
manganese elements in the multi-element
metal salt solution is (0-1):(0-1):(0-1); secondly, preparing alkali solution with concentration between 2 and 4mol / L; thirdly, reacting the
salt solution with the alkali solution, wherein the temperature is controlled to be between 40 and 70 DEG C and the stirring speed is controlled to be between 100 and 600 revolutions / min, and the adding speed of salt and alkali solutions is controlled, so that the pH value of the
reaction system is controlled to be between 8 and 11; and continuously stirring for 30 minutes to 2 hours after the reaction is completed, standing for 2 to 4 hours, filtering to obtain
solid matters, and washing with deionized water until the content of Na<+> is lower than 0.03 percent, and
drying to obtain the required precursor of the positive material of the nickel manganese cobalt multi-element
lithium ion battery. According to the invention, an
ammonia complexing agent is not used, and the method has the advantages of no
ammonia or
nitrogen pollution risk, good product
sphericity, uniform granules, narrow
granularity distribution and the like.
