Abstract

The invention discloses a method for fabricating an NCA precursor by lithium circulation. The method comprises the step of co-precipitating lithium hydroxide used as a precipitant, a soluble nickel salt, a cobalt salt and an aluminum saline solution to generate a Ni<1-x-y>Co<x>Al<y>(OH)2 precursor, wherein a filtering mother solution Li2SO4 is returned to the existing production process of preparing the lithium hydroxide by spodumene to generate the lithium hydroxide, and Li<+> is recycled. The method has the main purposes and advantages that sodium hydroxide is used as the precipitant, a complexing agent NH<4+> is not added, the problems of difficulty in precipitant filtering, high sodium-containing impurity and the like are solved, the NCA precursor performance is improved, the precipitation reaction time is reduced to 2-3 hours from original 20-30 hours, and the operation cost is reduced by 10 times or above; the precipitation mother liquid lithium sulfate is returned to the lithiumhydroxide, organic production circulation is achieved, a ternary positive electrode material NCA initially becomes waste-free discharge production, and the method has remarkable environmental benefit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of preparation of lithium ion battery materials, in particular to a method for cyclically preparing an NCA precursor of a ternary positive electrode material with lithium hydroxide. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of new energy, high-capacity lithium-ion power batteries have become a hot spot in the development of global new energy production and technology.
