NCM523 Powder for High Power Li-ion Battery Cathode Applications

Higher capacity and cost effectiveness compared with LiCoO2


Specifications | MSDS | Literature | Related Products | Technical Support


The layered ternary oxide NMC523 (also known as NCM523) has displayed great advantages in its relatively high energy density, low cost, low toxicity, cycle stability, and safety as a battery material for electric vehicles. It is one of the most important cathode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries due to its high capacity and cost effectiveness compared with LiCoO2. It has been reported to have a reversible capacity of 160 mAh g-1 at 4.3 V (vs. Li/Li+) and 190 mAh g-1 at 4.5 V (vs. Li/Li+). The lower use of Co, compared to LiCoO2, reduces the cost, Ni contributes to a higher capacity at the expense of complicated preparation, and Mn enhances the structural stability during charging/discharging.

Using low contents of cheap materials like graphene (0.5 wt%) and Al2O3 (1.0 wt %) as additives, the cyclic stability, energy density, and thermal safety of the lithium-ion batteries can be dramatically improved. The assembled cell of NCM523-Al2O3-Gs∥graphite delivered an impressive capacity retention of 76.9% at 3.0 °C after 400 cycles. The heat generation during the discharging under 3.0 °C and safety tests are also both superior to those of a pure NMC cell.
