Zhenhua E-Chem NCM613 Cathode Material 1kg

Name: Zhenhua E-Chem NCM613 Cathode Material

Material Type: NCM613 Ternary Cathode Material (Ni / Co / Mn ≈ 6 : 1 : 3 by mole)

Product Code: ZH6000AS1

Brand: Zhenhua E-Chem

Product Introduction:

The Zhenhua E-Chem NCM613 Cathode Material is a medium-nickel lithium-ion battery cathode material based on the NCM613 ternary chemistry (Ni : Co : Mn ≈ 60.15 : 10.08 : 29.77 mol%). The 60% nickel content places NCM613 between conventional NCM523 and high-nickel chemistries — offering higher specific capacity than NCM523 while retaining better thermal and structural stability than NCM811-class materials. The Zhenhua E-Chem NCM613 (model ZH6000AS1) is suitable for 4.35 V applications and is well-matched to research and small-batch production of lithium-ion cells targeting balanced energy density, cost, and cycle life.

Key Features:

Medium-nickel NCM613 chemistry — balanced energy density, thermal stability, and cycle life
High first-cycle efficiency 90.1% in CR2430 coin cell (4.35–2.8 V)
High specific capacity 186.5 mAh/g at 4.35 V upper cutoff
Tight monomodal particle size distribution — D10 2.26 μm / D50 4.06 μm / D90 7.01 μm, well-suited to slurry processing
High tap density 1.79 g/cm³ — supports high electrode loading and energy density
Low impurity content — Fe, Na, Ca, Cu, Zn, residual Li⁺ all well below specification limits
XRD-verified NMC phase purity — matches JCPDS 52-0457 standard with no unqualified secondary phases
Dark blue powder, no agglomeration, easy to handle and process

Physical Properties:

SEM Morphology:

SEM imaging shows well-defined polyhedral primary particles with clean grain boundaries, smooth facets, and minimal agglomeration. The narrow, monomodal particle size distribution observed in laser diffraction is consistent with the uniform crystal habit seen in SEM across magnifications.

Application Areas:

Lithium-ion battery cathode for medium-nickel 4.35 V applications
Medium-nickel NCM cathode research targeting balanced energy density and stability
Coin-cell, pouch-cell, and prismatic-cell laboratory cell development
Cathode-slurry coating research with controlled particle-size distribution
Electrode formulation studies with high tap-density NCM
Materials science research on medium-nickel versus low-nickel or high-nickel NCM chemistries

Recommended Handling:

NCM613 should be handled in a dry environment (relative humidity preferably below 30%) to minimize moisture pickup and residual Li⁺ increase. Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place away from acidic vapors and reducing atmospheres. For slurry preparation, use appropriate solvent (NMP for PVDF binder systems) and follow standard cathode-slurry formulation protocols (active material + conductive carbon + binder). Coat onto aluminum current collector using a film coater (e.g., XN-VC-300, XN-VCH-300, XN-SDC) followed by drying and calendering (e.g., XN-CRPE or XN-HRPE roller press series).

Packaging & Storage:

Standard packaging is in sealed moisture-barrier bags inside lined drums. Store in a cool, dry environment away from heat sources, direct sunlight, acidic vapors, and reducing atmospheres. Once opened, reseal the inner moisture-barrier bag promptly and store in a dry box or dry room. Avoid prolonged exposure to ambient humidity, which can increase residual Li⁺ and degrade electrochemical performance.

Safety:

For research and industrial use only. Wear appropriate PPE (chemical-resistant gloves, safety glasses, lab coat, dust mask or respirator) when handling NCM613 powder, especially during weighing, transfer, and slurry preparation. Avoid generating dust; transfer powders in a fume hood or with local exhaust ventilation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes; in case of contact, flush with water and seek medical attention. NCM613 contains nickel, cobalt, and manganese, which are regulated heavy metals — handle and dispose of in accordance with local environmental and occupational health regulations. Refer to the included Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete safety information.

Note: Specifications listed above are typical and for reference only. Actual electrochemical performance depends on the specific cell architecture, electrolyte formulation, binder/conductive-additive composition, coating thickness, calendering parameters, formation protocol, and testing conditions — consult published literature and our technical team for guidance on specific NCM613 electrode protocols.
