A lithium-ion battery, comprising a cathode, an anode, and a non-aqueous electrolyte; the cathode comprises a cathode active material and a metal oxide and/or metal fluoride coating which covers the surface of the cathode active material; the cathode active material is at least one of materials illustrated in general formula I or II: formula I: LixNiyM1-yO2, wherein 0.5≤x≤1.2, 0.5≤y≤1, and M is selected from at least one of Co, Mn, Al, Ti, Fe, Zn, Zr, Cr, and formula II: LikCozL1-zO2, wherein 0.5≤k≤1.2, 0.5<z≤1, and L is selected from at least one of Ni, Mn, Al, Ti, Fe, Zn, Zr, Cr. According to the lithium-ion battery, the charge cut-off voltage of the lithium-ion battery reaches 4.3 V or more by means of a synergistic effect of the unsaturated phosphate compounds and the coating at the surface of the cathode active material.
