Provided is a positive electrode film of a lithium battery, comprising: (i) a positive electrode material of a lithium intercalated transition metallic oxide; (ii) a lithium ion replenisher; and (iii) a conductive agent and an adhesive. The lithium ion replenisher in the positive electrode film decomposes during initial charging and then releases lithium ions, so as to make up for a loss of lithium ions forming an SEI film on a negative electrode surface, thereby improving the reversible charging and discharging capacity of the lithium ion battery. In the prepared positive electrode film, the lithium ion replenisher can be mixed in the positive electrode material or the conductive agent in advance, and can be coated on the surface of the positive electrode of the lithium ion battery as well.
