The invention discloses a method for preparing 
manganese-doped basic 
cobalt carbonate. The method comprises the following steps: adding a 
sodium carbonate solution and a 
cobalt chloride solution intoa reaction kettle, controlling the pH value of the 
reaction system within 6.0-7.8, controlling the 
reaction temperature to 90-95 DEG C, and performing stirring to react for 5-6 hours so as to obtain basic 
cobalt carbonate slurry; and dehydrating the basic cobalt carbonate 
slurry while the basic cobalt carbonate 
slurry is hot, transferring the dehydrated basic cobalt carbonate slurry into an immersion kettle, adding a saturated 
manganese chloride solution into the immersion kettle, performing a stirring reaction, and performing filter pressing 
dehydration and 
drying in sequence so as to obtainthe 
manganese-doped basic cobalt carbonate. Therefore, 
sodium carbonate is adopted to replace 
ammonium bicarbonate to prepare basic cobalt carbonate to serve as an ultrafine cobalt 
powder precursor, 
ammonia-containing 
wastewater is not generated, no 
pollution is caused to the 
atmosphere, the 
impurity content of the prepared precursor is low, and the production requirement of cobalt 
powder on the current market can be met; and moreover, saturated manganese 
chloride is adopted to dope basic cobalt carbonate, so that the 
conductivity of the basic cobalt carbonate precursor can be enhanced, and the stability is improved.
