NCM (Nickel Cobalt Manganese) batteries are a type of lithium-ion battery that works by storing energy in chemical form. The battery consists of three main components: the cathode, the anode, and the electrolyte. The cathode is typically made up of a mixture of nickel, cobalt, and manganese, hence the name NCM.
Lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides (abbreviated NMC, Li-NMC, LNMC, or NCM) are mixed metal oxides of lithium, nickel, manganese and cobalt with the general formula LiNi x Mn y Co 1-x-y O 2. These materials are commonly used in lithium-ion batteries for mobile devices and electric vehicles, acting as the positively charged cathode.
Fig. 1. Schematic of a process for the production of lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide powder. The product stream, a slurry of solid precipitates in a solution, is phase separated, and then filtered and washed several times. The filtration may be done in a rotary vacuum filter followed by drying in a spray dryer.
A process model has been developed and used to study the production process of a common lithium-ion cathode material, lithiated nickel manganese cobalt oxide, using the co-precipitation method. The process was simulated for a plant producing 6500 kg day −1.
As the cathode material technology matures, manufacturers will require less frequent design changes leading to longer plant life and lower depreciation costs. The price of cobalt metal has changed in the last six years from a peak of $27 per kg to a low of $22 per kg .
Dai et al. reported a GWP equal to 72.9 kg CO 2 eq. per kWh of NMC111 battery, based on the primary data from a leading Chinese cathode material producer with a 2 GWh production capacity and on the Argonne National Laboratory's “Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation (GREET)” model .
