Messi Biology states that the preparation of high-performance nickel-based materials (such as high-nickel ternary cathode material precursors, specialty nickel powders, nickel-based catalysts, high-temperature alloy powders, etc.) places extreme demands on raw material purity, morphology, and process control. In wet chemical synthesis routes, magnesium oxide and its derivatives (such as basic magnesium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide) play a vital role as precipitating agents, morphology control agents, or doping agents. Messi Biology, with its deep accumulation in the field of high-end functional materials, has developed specialty magnesium oxide and precursor products that meet stringent requirements.
Ultimate Purity to Guarantee the Material’s Genes
High-end nickel-based materials have extremely low tolerance for impurities, especially alkaline earth metals (such as calcium), transition metals (such as iron and cobalt), and anionic (such as chlorine and sulfur) impurities. Messi Biology’s specialty magnesium oxide products achieve purity of 99.99% and above, with key impurity element content controlled at the ppb-ppm level. This ensures the purity and electrochemical/mechanical/catalytic performance of the final nickel-based material from the source. For example, in the synthesis of high-nickel ternary precursors, ultra-low calcium content can significantly reduce gas production and capacity decay during cycling.
Precise Particle Size and Morphology Control
The physical properties of magnesium oxide (particle size distribution, particle morphology, specific surface area) directly affect its dissolution, nucleation, and growth kinetics in the synthesis reaction, which in turn determines the morphology (sphericity, uniformity) and particle size distribution of the final product. Through advanced preparation processes, Messi Biology can provide specialty magnesium oxide products with narrow particle size distribution (D50 adjustable from sub-micron to tens of microns) and specific morphologies (such as flaky, spherical, and porous). This precise control capability provides a key guarantee for the synthesis of nickel-based materials with specific morphologies (such as high-density spherical precursors) and ideal particle sizes.
Surface Functionalization to Empower Synthesis Processes
For specific synthesis processes (such as co-precipitation, hydrothermal, and spray pyrolysis), Messi Biology can perform surface modification treatments on magnesium oxide or its precursors (such as basic magnesium carbonate). The modified products can be better dispersed in the reaction system or have specific surface charges/functional groups, thereby more precisely regulating the chemical environment of the reaction interface, optimizing particle nucleation and growth processes, and improving product consistency, crystallinity, and batch stability.
Special Crystal Forms and Reaction Activity
Messi Biology has mastered the technology to prepare specific crystal forms (such as high-activity light magnesium oxide). This high-activity magnesium oxide has a fast dissolution rate and reacts more gently and uniformly. In processes that require rapid and uniform formation of nickel hydroxide or other nickel compounds, it can effectively avoid agglomeration or abnormal growth caused by local supersaturation, resulting in precursors with a more uniform structure.
Customized Solutions
With a deep understanding of the pain points in the preparation processes of different nickel-based materials (precursors, cathode materials, catalyst supports, metal powders), Messi Biology can work closely with customers to provide a complete set of customized solutions from basic raw materials to specific functional additives. They are not just providing magnesium oxide products, but also providing the key know-how for material synthesis.
Technical Breakthrough Example
A leading battery material company used Messi Biology’s customized high-purity, specific flake-shaped magnesium oxide as a morphology guiding agent, and successfully synthesized a high-nickel ternary precursor with high tap density, low specific surface area, and improved radial growth of primary particles, which significantly improved the processing performance and volumetric energy density of the final cathode material.
