Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (LiNiMnCoO2), commonly abbreviated as NMC, is a popular cathode material in lithium-ion batteries known for its balanced energy density, power capability, and thermal stability. The combination of nickel, manganese, and cobalt allows for adjustments in the proportions of each metal to tailor the material’s performance for various applications, such as electric vehicles (EVs), power tools, and portable electronics.
Appearance: Usually a fine black or gray powder.
Density: Varies based on specific NMC composition but generally around 4.8 g/cm³.
Crystal Structure: Layered structure, which allows lithium ions to intercalate (move in and out) efficiently during charging and discharging.
Energy Density: High energy density, particularly in NMC 811, where the high nickel content contributes to increased capacity.
Voltage Range: Typically operates within 2.5 to 4.2 volts per cell, depending on the specific NMC formulation.
Cycle Life: Offers a moderate-to-high cycle life, with a balanced rate of degradation influenced by the Mn and Co content.
Thermal Stability: More thermally stable than high-nickel materials alone, as the manganese component provides structural stability.
Electric Vehicles (EVs): Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (LiNiMnCoO2) materials are widely used in EV batteries due to their high energy density, which provides longer driving ranges, and their favorable power output.
Portable Electronics: Commonly used in batteries for smartphones, laptops, and tablets due to its balance of power density, safety, and longevity.
Power Tools: Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (LiNiMnCoO2)’s ability to deliver high power makes it suitable for applications requiring rapid discharge rates.
Grid Storage: Being scalable, Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (LiNiMnCoO2) is also used in stationary storage systems for renewable energy integration.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
