The invention discloses a cathode material for a fast lithium ion conductor phase-modified lithium ion battery and a preparation method thereof. The key points of the technical scheme are as follows: the cathode material for the fast lithium ion conductor phase-modified lithium ion battery is a composite material consisting of a rare-earth element doped composite layered lithium ion battery cathode material xLi2MO3 (1-x) LiN(1-y)RyO2 (M is Mn, Ti or Sn, N is Mn, Ni, Co, Fe, Cr, V or Mo, R is one or more than one of Sc, Y, Pr, Nd, La, Ce, Sm, Yb, Eu and Gd, x is larger than 0 and smaller than 1, and y is larger than 0 and smaller than 0.2) and a fast lithium ion conductor, wherein the molar ratio of the fast lithium ion conductor to the rare-earth element doped composite layered lithium ion battery cathode material is n:1, and n is larger than 0 and smaller than or equal to 0.15. The invention also discloses a preparation method of the cathode material for the fast lithium ion conductor phase-modified lithium ion battery. The cathode material for a fast lithium ion conductor phase-modified lithium ion battery has the advantages of high specific capacity, good rate capacity, stability in recycling and strong temperature adaptation.
