The invention discloses a method for preparing 
lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide by taking a waste 
lithium ion battery as a 
raw material. The method is mainly characterized in that a waste 
lithium ion battery taking the lithium 
nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium 
nickel cobalt oxide and so on as a battery positive material is selected as the 
raw material and is pretreated through disassembly, separation, crushing, screening and so on, and then processes such as 
adhesive removal at high temperature and aluminum removal by 
sodium hydroxide are adopted to obtain an inactivated positive material containing nickel, cobalt and 
manganese; then a 
sulfuric acid and 
hydrogen peroxide system is adopted to leach, and P204 is adopted to remove impurities by extraction to obtain pure nickel, cobalt and manganese solution, and proper manganese 
sulfate, nickel 
sulfate or 
cobalt sulfate is blended to ensure that the mol ratio of nickel, cobalt and manganese elements in the solution is 1: 1: 1; and then 
ammonium carbonate is adopted to adjust the pH value to form a nickel cobalt manganese 
carbonate precursor, and then a proper amount of 
lithium carbonate is blended for high temperature 
sintering to synthesize a lithium nickel cobalt 
manganese oxide battery material. The first 
discharge capacity of the material is 150 mAh / g, the 
discharge capacity is still kept more than 130mAh / g after the circulation for 30 times, and the material has good electrochemical performance.
