The present application provides a high-
nickel single-
crystal cathode material, a preparation method thereof, a
cathode electrode sheet, a secondary battery, and an electrical device. The
chemical formula of the high-
nickel single-
crystal cathode material is Li 1+δ Ni x M y Q 1‑x‑y O 2+ε A α R β X γ , 0.8 ≤ x < 1, 0 < y ≤ 0.2, 0 ≤ δ ≤ 0.15, 0 < ε ≤ 0.2, 0 < α ≤ 0.04, 0 < β ≤ 0.04, 0 ≤ γ ≤ 0.04. The M element and the Q element each independently include one or more of Mn, Co, Al, Ta, Ti, Nb, Ge, Y, Nb, W, Zr, Ce, Ca, Sr, Sc, V, Cr, and Mo; the A element includes one or more of Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ti, Zr, V, Nb, Ta, Mo, W, La, Ce, Sc, and Cr; the R element includes one or more of B and P; the X element includes one or more of Na, K, Mn, Mg, Ca, Sr, and Al; the
molar ratio of Ni 3+ on the surface of the high-
nickel single-
crystal cathode material is 38% - 55%, and the
molar ratio of
lattice oxygen on the surface is 7% - 15%. The structural defects of the material are significantly reduced, thereby improving its specific capacity and enhancing its
cycling performance.
