The invention provides a
cathode material of a
lithium ion battery. The
cathode material is composed by the
atomic ratio shown in formula (I): Lia(MxMn2-x)(O4-yZy), wherein a is greater than or equal to 0.8 and less than or equal to 1.2; x is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1; y is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1; M is one or more selected from Li, Na, K, Ca, Mg, Al, Ti, Sc, Ge, V, Cr, Zr, Co, Ni, Zn, Cu, La, Ce, Mn, Hf, Nb, Ta, Mo, W, Ru, Ag, Sn, Pb and Si; and Z is one or more selected from OH, halogens, N, P, S and O. Primary particles of the
cathode material have sphere-like morphologies, wherein (111) face is connected with adjacent equivalent
crystal face through a curved surface having no clear edges. The invention also provides a preparation method for the
cathode material of the
lithium ion battery and the
lithium ion battery. The
cathode material provided by the invention has good high-
temperature cycling performance and good filling property.
