The invention discloses a composite lithium ion battery cathode material and a preparation method and an application thereof. The composite lithium ion battery positive electrode material comprises alithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode material with a layered structure and a 5V high-voltage positive electrode material with a spinel structure, a chemical formula of the 5V high-voltage positive electrode material with the spinel structure is LiMaNbMn<2-a-b>O<4-c>S<c>, wherein a is greater than 0.01 and less than 0.5, b is greater than 0.1 and less than 1, c is greater than 0.001 andless than 0.5, M comprises any one or a combination of at least two of Ni, Cr, V, Fe, Cu and Co, N is doped cations, and S is doped anions. The obtained coating material has good crystal orientation,irreversible capacity loss of a lithium-rich phase can be effectively improved, moreover, oxygen atoms in the positive electrode material of the lithium battery are doped with polyanion groups, so loss of charging and discharging oxygen octahedrons under a high-voltage platform is reduced, a problem of voltage attenuation is relieved, and stability and the rate capability of the material are improved.
