  • Patent number: 11996538
    Abstract: A method for preparing a positive electrode active material precursor includes preparing a metal aqueous solution including a nickel raw material, a cobalt raw material, and a manganese raw material (step 1); adding the metal aqueous solution, an ammonium cation complex forming agent, and a basic aqueous solution into a reactor, co-precipitating the mixture at pH 11 to less than pH 12 to form nuclei of first positive electrode active material precursor particles and growing the nuclei (step 2); adjusting input amount of the basic aqueous solution to increase the pH in the reactor to a range of 0.8 to 1.5 compared to that of step 2; and adjusting input amount of the basic aqueous solution to change the pH in the reactor to pH 11 to less than pH 12 (step 4). A positive electrode active material precursor prepared by the above preparation method has an improved packing density.

  • Publication number: 20110147396
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a container. More specifically, the present invention relates to a container with a ring carrier for hanging a ring, which is either provided at the lower part, upper part, or cap of the container. The ring carrier allows a user to easily hold the container and is conveniently inserted into the strips of a bag or a knapsack, so the container can be easily transported or stored. For this purpose, a container (A) with a ring carrier (12) according to the present invention comprises a carrier coupling unit (21) which is coupled with the ring carrier (12). A coupling unit (13) fixed to the carrier coupling unit (21) is formed at one side of the ring carrier (12) and a ring hole (14) is formed at the other side thereof.
