Abstract
A metal salt solution was prepared from valuable metals (Ni, Co, Mn) recovered from a scrap of waste lithium secondary batteries, and an NCM811 precursor was synthesized from the solution. The effect on precursor formation according to reaction time was confirmed by SEM, PSA, and ICP analysis. Based on the analysis results, the electrochemical properties of the synthesized NCM811 precursor and the commercial NCM811 precursor were investigated. The Galvano charge-discharge cycle, rate performance, and Cycle performance were compared, and as a result, there was no significant difference from commercial precursors.
