High-purity NMC 111 cathode powder for advanced lithium-ion battery formulation and testing
The Cell Lab Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC 111) Powder is a high-quality, battery-grade cathode material developed for lithium-ion battery research and performance optimisation. Featuring a precisely controlled particle size distribution (D50 = 3.0 ± 0.5 µm) and strict impurity control, this NMC 111 powder ensures excellent slurry processability, electrochemical stability, and consistent cathode fabrication results.
Delivering a first discharge capacity of ≥162 mAh/g at 0.1 C with 95.5% initial efficiency, this material is ideal for half-cell testing, academic studies, and pilot-scale cathode formulation. Each batch is produced under stringent quality control to guarantee uniform composition, low moisture, and high purity for reproducible laboratory and industrial R&D performance.
High Electrochemical Performance – ≥162 mAh/g first discharge capacity (4.3–3.0 V, 0.1 C) with 95.5% efficiency.
Optimised Particle Size Distribution – D10 ≥ 1.7 µm, D50 = 3.0 ± 0.5 µm, D90 ≤ 7.0 µm for excellent slurry uniformity.
Strict Impurity Control – Fe ≤ 25 ppm, Cu ≤ 10 ppm, S ≤ 2300 ppm for stable electrochemical behaviour.
Consistent Tap Density & Surface Area – BET = 1.35 ± 0.3 m²/g; tap density ≥ 1.4 g/cm³.
Battery-Grade Quality – Designed for reliable laboratory and industrial-scale lithium-ion cathode studies.
