The invention discloses a 
nickel-
cobalt-aluminum ternary precursor as well as a preparation method thereof and a preparing 
anode material and a method. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving soluble salts of Ni and Co into 
ammonia water so as to prepare a Ni and Co 
ammonia complex 
ion solution as a complexing agent solution, adding a complexing agent into an aluminum 
salt solution so as to prepare an Al complex 
ion solution as an aluminum source solution, combining and adding the Ni and Co soluble 
salt solution, a precipitant solution, the complexing agent solution and the aluminum source solution into a reaction kettle, controlling a reaction pH value and 
reaction temperature, controlling the reaction time to be at least greater than 10h, performing 
solid-liquid separation on 
slurry obtained through reaction, and washing and 
drying the obtained 
solid, thereby obtaining the 
nickel-
cobalt-aluminum ternary precursor. A 
nickel-
cobalt-aluminum ternary 
anode material can be prepared from a mixture of the precursor and a 
lithium salt through high-temperature 
thermal treatment in the presence of air or 
oxygen. The mixing uniformity of three elements of Ni, Co and Al can be effectively improved, and the tap density of the precursor material can be improved, and the spherical degree of granules can be increased.
