The invention relates to titanium acid lithium battery cathode material containing rare metal elements, which comprises a synthesized lithium titanate material. A or a plurality of rare metal elements are contained in the lithium titanate material; the rare metal elements adopt Zr, Al, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm and Dy or Ho; the contents of the rare metal elements are 0.01-3 wt percent by oxidate; the lithium and titanium molar ratio in the lithium titanate material is 0.7-1.2; and the titanium acid lithium battery cathode material is produced by adopting the processes of material mixing, ball milling and sieving, high-temperature treatment, secondary ball milling, high-temperature heat preservation and the like. The titanium acid lithium battery cathode material containing the rare metal elements is doped with the rare metal elements, improves the quick charging and discharging properties, improves the electrochemical capacity and has excellent cycle performance, good repeatability and high consistency; and furthermore, the titanium acid lithium battery cathode material has the advantages of low raw material cost, short synthesis time, low temperature, low requirements for equipment and simple manufacturing process and is suitable for industrial scale production.
