Lithium ion battery cathode material LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂ (NCM811) was synthe-sized via a spray drying method. The effect of different spray drying flow-rates (200, 250, 300, and 400 mL·min^-1) on the structural and electrochemical properties of NCM811 are investigated. We find that the contents of Ni, Co, and Mn in the NCM811 cathode materials do not change significantly with the changing flow-rate, but the lattice parameter and morphology of the materials are significantly affected. Under the optimal spray drying flow-rate (250 mL·min ^-1), the obtained NCM811 cathode (250NCM811) exhibits the best crystallinity, with the highest ratio of I₍₀₀₃₎/I₍₁₀₄₎ in the XRD pattern. SEM images reveal the spherical morphology of 250NCM811 and the average diameter of about 5 μm. The results of electrochemical test show that the reversible capacity of 250NCM811 reaches 210 mA·g^-1 at 0.2 C (1 C = 280 mA·g^-1). After 100 charge-discharge cycles at 1 C, the battery retains more than 94% of its initial capacity. Overall, spray drying flow-rate demonstrates great effect on the electrochemical properties of NCM811.
