The invention provides a high-energy-density multi-element positive
electrode material and a preparation method thereof. The positive
electrode material is composed of a substrate with a
chemical formula Li1+a[(Ni1-2xCoxMnx)1-yMy]1-zM'zO2, and Li8ZrO6 and a
lithium ion conductor LiuM''vOw which coat the surface of the substrate, wherein a is greater than or equal to -0.5 and is less than or equalto 0.3, M and M' are at least one element in La, Cr, Mo, Ca, Fe, Hf, Ti, Zn, Y, Zr, Si, W, Nb, Sm, V, Mg, B and Al, M'' is at least one element in Zr, Ti, Al, Si, Mn and Sn, and the total
coating amount of a
composite oxide is 0.01-3% of the
molar weight of the substrate. The positive
electrode material disclosed by the invention has relatively
high energy density and
cycling stability, and can beused for a
lithium ion power battery. The preparation method of the material is simple in process, low in cost and suitable for large-scale production.
