Problems solved by technology

[0005] Due to the small particle size, easy agglomeration, and poor sphericity of small particle nickel cobalt manganese hydroxide, it brings great difficulties to the preparation
Chinese patent CN103253717A adds the surfactant trisodium citrate or citric acid into the salt solution, and at the same time adds the dispersant polyethylene glycol or polyvinyl alcohol into the alkali solution to prepare small particles with a median particle size of 1.0-5.0 μm Nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide, but the sphericity of the particles is slightly poor and the particles are relatively loose from the electron microscope image, which is not suitable for the preparation of high-density nickel-cobalt lithium manganate cathode materials
In addition, this method is a typical batch production process, each time all the materials in the kettle are discharged, and the bottom liquid is added again for synthesis, and the product reproducibility is poor
In addition, in order to obtain crystal nuclei with small particle sizes, a higher stirring speed is used in the production of crystal nuclei, and a lower stirring speed is used in the particle size growth stage, which may lead to stratification or faults inside the particles.
In addition, this method uses a low temperature of 30-45°C in the stage of producing crystal nuclei and particle size growth, which is not conducive to improving the crystallization performance of nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide, and the obtained product contains high impurities such as S and Na, which will affect the prepared nickel.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of precursors for positive electrode materials of lithium ion batteries, and in particular relates to a method for continuously preparing high-density small-particle nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxides. Background technique [0002] Lithium-ion batteries have outstanding advantages such as high energy density, long cycle life, low self-discharge rate, no memory effect, and environmental protection. They are new green secondary batteries successfully developed in the 1990s. Lithium-ion batteries are mainly composed of positive electrode materials, negative electrode materials, electrolytes, diaphragms, etc. The positive electrode material is the most expensive part of lithium-ion batteries, and it is also a key factor that restricts the development of batteries to higher performance. [0003] At present, the main positive electrode materials on the market include lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganese oxide, ...
