Method for manufacturing positive-electrode active material precursor and positive-electrode active material for nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a positive-electrode active material precursor for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery containing a nickel-cobalt-manganese carbonate compound includes: an initial aqueous solution preparation process of preparing an initial aqueous solution; a nucleation process of forming nuclei; and a nucleus growth process of growing the nuclei. In the nucleation process, a pH value of the mixed aqueous solution is controlled to be greater than or equal to 8.0 at the reference reaction temperature of 25° C. In the nucleus growth process, the pH value of the mixed aqueous solution is controlled to be greater than or equal to 6.0 and less than or equal to 7.5 at the reference reaction temperature of 25° C. The nucleation process takes a time greater than or equal to 1/20 and less than or equal to 3/10 of a combined time of the nucleation process and the nucleus growth process.
