Ternary polymer lithium ion battery refers to a lithium ion battery using lithium nickel cobalt manganate (Li (NiCoMn) O2) ternary cathode material as the cathode material. The precursor product of the ternary composite cathode material is based on nickel salt, cobalt salt, Manganese salt is the raw material, and the ratio of nickel, cobalt and manganese can be adjusted according to actual needs. The battery with ternary material as the positive electrode is safer than lithium cobalt oxide Ternary polymer lithium ion battery , but the voltage is too low for use in mobile phones (the cut-off voltage of mobile phones is generally Around 3.0V) there will be a distinct feeling of insufficient capacity.
At present, more and more electric logistics vehicles use ternary material batteries, which are mainly due to their advantages of high energy density, long cycle life, low cost, and light weight of the entire vehicle. They can effectively handle the "last mile" of urban logistics. "The problem, and this has triggered the trend of electric logistics vehicles from lithium iron phosphate to ternary technology.
The prosperity of the industry is likely to benefit related listed companies, and the core component of the ternary material battery is the ternary cathode material, which accounts for about 40% of the total cost. The current A-share listed companies involved in ternary cathode materials are sorted out as follows:
