Our precursors are manufactured using controlled co-precipitation processes to ensure precise stoichiometry, uniform particle morphology, and low levels of impurities.
NMC precursor refers to the intermediate material used in the production of NMC cathode active materials, which are widely used in lithium-ion batteries. “NMC” stands for Nickel (Ni), Manganese (Mn), and Cobalt (Co)—three transition metals that are combined in different ratios to form high-energy-density, stable cathode materials.
The precursor is typically a co-precipitated hydroxide with a carefully controlled metal ratio (such as Ni:Mn:Co = 6:2:2 for NMC 622). This powder is later lithiated and calcined to form the final cathode material, such as
LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2.
Core of Battery Performance
The structure and purity of the precursor directly affect the electrochemical performance, energy density, and cycle life of the final battery.
High Energy Storage
NMC-based batteries offer an excellent balance of capacity, safety, and cost, making them ideal for EVs and energy storage systems.
Process Sensitivity
The particle size, morphology, and stoichiometry of the precursor must be precisely controlled to ensure uniform and stable cathode behavior.
Materials of the Future
As the world shifts toward electric vehicles and renewable energy, demand for advanced NMC precursors is expected to grow rapidly—especially for high-Ni and low-Co formulations that reduce cost and environmental impact.
