The present invention relates to thel field of
lithium ion batteries. Disclosed are a surface-coated positive
electrode material and a preparation method therefor, and a
lithium ion battery. The positive
electrode material comprises a base body and a
coating layer covering the surface of the base body; the characteristic peaks of the
coating layer at a position where 2θ is 31°-35° according to an XRD test are in a bimodal distribution; and the ratio Ib / Ia of the
peak intensity Ib of the secondary peak to the
peak intensity Ia of the main peak in the bimodal distribution is 0.8-1. The surfce-coated positive
electrode material has high
ion and
electron conduction capability, and can accelerate the
diffusion rate of ions and electrons in the positive
electrode material, thereby significantly improving the rate capability of the
lithium ion battery comprising the positive
electrode material. Meanwhile, the surface-coated positive
electrode material having the specific
coating layer can avoid catalytic
corrosion between the positive electrode material and an
electrolyte, thereby improving the
cycling stability of the
lithium ion battery comprising the positive electrode material. In addition, the
thermal stability of the surface-coated positive electrode material having the specific coating layer is significantly improved.
