Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing a ternary cathode material precursor by using a waste lithium battery material. The method comprises the steps of adding an acid for leaching a cathode material to obtain a solution; adding an ascorbic acid to further reduce Co<3+>, Ni<3+> and Mn<4+> in the solution into a bivalent ion state, adjusting pH by using an alkali liquid and removing impurities of aluminum, iron and the like; adding a proper amount of nickel-cobalt-manganese nitrate to adjust the molar ratio of nickel, cobalt, manganese and lithium in the solution; and adding a complexing agent, finally adjusting the pH value, adding a precipitator for precipitation to prepare the ternary cathode material precursor. The method for preparing the ternary cathode material precursor which is narrow in particle size distribution and is evenly mixed by using the waste lithium battery material is provided for the problems that trace amounts of high-valence nickel-cobalt-manganese ions and ternary material precursor particles can be reunited in precursor precipitation and the particle size and the shape and form of the ternary material cannot be effectively regulated and controlled.
