The invention discloses a
lithium ion battery high-
nickel ternary positive
electrode material, which has a chemical general formula of LiNixM1-xO2, wherein x is more than or equal to 0.5 and is less than 1, M is one or a variety of materials selected from Co, Mn and Al, the surface of the ithium
ion battery high-
nickel ternary positive
electrode material is coated with a
lithium salt
coating layer, and the
lithium salt is a lithium salt containing a -COOLi functional group. Compared to the material in the prior art, the material of the present invention has the following characteristics that the residual lithium on the surface of the high-
nickel material is modified to form the stable lithium salt
coating layer, such that the residual lithium on the surface can be removed, the
protection layer can cover the surface of the material, the generation of
lithium carbonate can be inhibited, and the
crystal structure of the material cannot be destroyed. According to the present invention, thelithium
ion battery high-nickel ternary positive
electrode material has advantages of good cycle stability and good storage performance, and the preparation method is simple, easy-performing, economical and
environmentally friendly, and has good application prospect. The invention further discloses a
lithium ion battery.
