FAQ

Q1: What is the advantage of using NCAOH₂ as a precursor?
A1: Its stoichiometric balance and spherical morphology allow high-purity calcination into Ni-rich NCA oxides with excellent energy density and thermal stability.

Q2: Is this precursor compatible with co-precipitation methods?
A2: Yes. It is suitable for co-precipitation and solid-state routes in oxide formation.

Q3: What are the recommended calcination conditions?
A3: Typically calcined at 750–850 °C under oxygen or air flow, depending on desired crystallinity and phase purity.

Q4: Can it be used for nickel-rich cathode modifications?
A4: Yes. The high-nickel composition supports NCA and Ni-rich layered oxide derivatives such as NCMA or Ni90 formulations.

Q5: How should the powder be stored?
A5: Keep sealed in a dry environment below 40 °C and 60 % RH to prevent moisture absorption and hydroxide conversion.
