LiNiCoMnO2 (NCM111) Powder for Li-Ion Battery Cathode, 100-500 g/bottle, CLIBCNCM111

NCM111 (also called NMC111) is a specific "flavor" of the NMC (Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide) cathode family, one of the most important and common types of lithium-ion battery cathodes. It has a 2D layered crystal structure (like LCO and NCA), which allows lithium ions to slide in and out of the structure during charging and discharging.

Each element in NCM111 play key roles in battery function: (1) Nickel (Ni): Provides the high capacity and energy density. (2) Manganese (Mn): Provides thermal and structural stability. It forms a strong 3D framework that keeps the layers from collapsing. (3) Cobalt (Co): Reduces unwanted mixing of atoms in the crystal, which improves cycle life and power (rate capability).
