Description
xCell Lab Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminium Oxide Powder [NCA, 12 µm D50, 500 g] – High-Energy Cathode Material for EV and Li-ion Batteries
High-capacity, low-cobalt NCA cathode powder for advanced energy storage applications
The Cell Lab Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminium Oxide (NCA) powder is a high-performance cathode material engineered for next-generation lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles (EVs), energy storage systems, and portable devices. With the optimised composition LiNi₀.₈Co₀.₁₅Al₀.₀₅O₂, it offers high specific capacity (~195 mAh/g), long cycle life, and excellent thermal stability.
This material delivers superior energy density and efficiency, making it a preferred choice for researchers and manufacturers developing high-capacity coin cells, pouch cells, and EV-grade batteries.
Key Features
High Energy Density & Capacity
Delivers ~195 mAh/g at 0.1C (3.0–4.0 V vs Li), enabling energy densities up to 260 Wh/kg in full cell configurations.
Optimised Particle Size Distribution
D₅₀ = 12 ± 1.5 µm with narrow distribution for uniform slurry dispersion and consistent electrode coating.
Excellent Tap & Compaction Densities
TAP density ≈ 2.5 g/cm³ and compaction density ≈ 3.5 g/cm³ for high-loading electrodes and greater energy per unit volume.
Reduced Cobalt Content
Low-Co formulation enhances cost-efficiency and sustainability without compromising performance.
Proven Industrial Use
Used in Panasonic Tesla-type cells and widely adopted in EV battery research and pilot-line production.

FAQ
Q1: What is the advantage of NCA over NMC materials?
NCA offers higher energy density and rate capability due to its optimised Ni/Co/Al ratio, while maintaining thermal stability.
Q2: Can this material be used in coin cell tests?
Yes, it is ideal for both coin cell and pouch cell fabrication under standard R&D conditions.
Q3: Is it suitable for high-voltage operation?
Yes, it exhibits excellent performance within 3.0–4.3 V operating range.
Q4: Can I customise particle size or batch volume?
Custom morphology and bulk ordering options are available for institutional and industrial clients.
Q5: Is this the same chemistry used in Tesla cells?
Yes, this NCA composition (LiNi₀.₈Co₀.₁₅Al₀.₀₅O₂) is commonly used in Panasonic cells for Tesla vehicles.
