The invention discloses a ternary positive
electrode material of a
lithium ion battery and a preparation method of the ternary positive
electrode material. The ternary positive
electrode material comprises a ternary material and a
coating layer coated on the surface of the ternary material, wherein the
coating layer comprises a Li < 2 + x > C < 1-x > Bx O3
coating agent, and x is greater than 0 and less than 1. The preparation method comprises the steps of (1) mixing a ternary positive
electrode material precursor with a
lithium source and a
doping agent, and carrying out primary
calcination to obtain primary calcined sample
powder; (2) dispersing the primary calcined sample
powder into an alkaline solution, stirring to fully wet the primary calcined sample
powder, performing suction
filtration,
drying in a vacuum environment, and performing secondary
calcination to obtain secondary calcined sample powder; and (3) uniformly mixing the secondary calcined sample powder with a coating material comprising a Li < 2 + x > C < 1-x > Bx O3 coating agent, and performing
tertiary calcination. By improving the coating agent and the preparation method, the surface of the ternary positive
electrode material is coated with a layer of material with relatively high
lithium ion conductivity, so that the capacity performance and the cycle performance of the battery are effectively improved.
