Abstract: A positive electrode active material precursor having a uniform particle size distribution and represented by Formula 1, wherein a percentage of fine powder with an average particle diameter (D50) of 1 ?m or less is generated when the positive electrode active material precursor is rolled at 2.5 kgf/cm2 is less than 1%, and an aspect ratio is 0.93 or more, and a method of preparing the positive electrode active material precursor [NixCoyM1zM2w](OH)2 ??[Formula 1] in Formula 1, 0.5?x<1, 0<y?0.5, 0<z?0.5, and 0?w?0.1, M1 includes at least one selected from the group consisting of Mn and Al, and M2 includes at least one selected from the group consisting of Zr, B, W, Mo, Cr, Nb, Mg, Hf, Ta, La, Ti, Sr, Ba, Ce, F, P, S, and Y. A method of preparing the positive electrode active material precursor is also provided.

Abstract: This invention relates to a mass preparation method of spherical natural color wax beads and according to the invention, the beads have a higher specific gravity than water so that the beads do not flow into the sea and they are biodegradable to fundamentally remarkably reduce marine ecosystem contamination, and it enables mass preparation by significantly improving the previous preparation of spherical natural color wax beads which had difficulties in their mass preparation while using expensive equipment.
