Abstract
Background
LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) is an important raw material for lithium batteries, and its preparation undergoes oxidation reactions. Therefore, the concentration of oxygen affects the oxidation reaction and ultimately the calcination quality of the cathode material.
Methods
In this paper, the permeability of calcined raw materials (the porosities were 0.4059, 0.4358, 0.4555, 0.4965, and 0.5661) under different calcination conditions was first evaluated experimentally, and then the corresponding friction factors were obtained by numerical simulation and compared with the experimental results (error was less than 13%), and the reliability of the model and experimental results was confirmed.
Significant findings
On this basis, the effective diffusion coefficient of the calcined raw material was calculated and compared with the classical formula, and the error was less than 4.72%. The work in this paper has certain guiding importance for the in-depth analysis of the gas diffusion mechanism inside the cathode material and provides a basis for the subsequent study of the relationship between the calcined raw material stack thickness and the gas concentration.
