    摘要: A method of preparing a positive electrode active material precursor for a lithium secondary battery by using a batch-type reactor, which includes the steps of 1) forming positive electrode active material precursor particles while continuously adding a transition metal-containing solution including a transition metal cation, an aqueous alkaline solution, and an ammonium ion-containing solution to a batch-type reactor, 2) sedimenting the positive electrode active material precursor particles formed; 3) discharging a supernatant formed after the sedimentation of the positive electrode active material precursor particles to an outside; 4) adjusting a pH to 10 to 12 by adding the ammonium ion-containing solution; and 5) growing the positive electrode active material precursor particles while continuously again adding the transition metal-containing solution to the batch-type reactor, and a method of preparing a positive electrode active material using the same.

    摘要: A method of preparing a positive electrode active material which includes forming a pre-sintered mixture by adding a reaction mixture including a lithium raw material and a nickel-manganese-cobalt precursor to a first crucible and performing a primary heat treatment at a temperature of 500° C. to 800° C., and, after discharging the pre-sintered mixture from the first crucible, adding the pre-sintered mixture to a second crucible and performing a secondary heat treatment at a temperature of 700° C. to 1,000° C. to form a lithium nickel manganese cobalt-based positive electrode active material, wherein a volume of the pre-sintered mixture formed after the primary heat treatment is 20% to 50% of a volume of the reaction mixture added to the first crucible.
