1. A method of producing one or more particles of a metal-containing battery material for a battery cell using a liquid mixture, comprising:
providing a processing system comprising a reaction chamber, a dispersion chamber with one or more openings, and one or more power jet modules, wherein each power jet module comprising:
one or more doors;
a power jet having an array of two or more nozzle orifices on one side of the power jet, wherein each orifice is adapted to jet the liquid mixture into one or more streams of droplets;
moving the one or more power jet modules in a first position to be on a jetting position;
opening the one or more doors on the one or more power jet modules;
jetting the liquid mixture into the one or more streams of droplets into the dispersion chamber by the one or more the power jet modules, wherein the liquid mixture comprising a lithium-containing compound and one or more metal-containing compounds;
processing the one or more streams of droplets inside the reaction chamber of the processing system into the one or more particles of the metal-containing battery material.
