The invention discloses a ternary positive 
electrode material@
titanium nitride core-shell-structured 
composite material, belonging to the technical field of positive 
electrode materials of 
lithium ion batteries. The 
composite material is of a compact double-layer structure, wherein the inner layer is a 
nickel-
cobalt-aluminum or 
nickel-
cobalt-aluminum ternary positive 
electrode material, and the outer layer is a high-
crystallinity titanium oxide TiN; on the basis that the total weight of the 
composite material is 100%, the 
mass fraction of the inner layer is 30-95%, and the 
mass fraction of the outer layer is 5-70%; and the outer layer is 
TiN with high 
crystallinity, the 
crystallinity of the outer layer is not lower than 90%, and the purity of the outer layer is not lower than 99.5%. In addition, the invention also discloses a preparation method of the composite material. Compared with an original ternary positive 
electrode material which is not subjected to 
coating treatment, the composite material of the invention has the characteristics of remarkably improved 
conductivity, relatively high specific capacity, good 
cycling stability, improved rate capability and reduced 
internal resistance. The preparation method is simple in process, free of 
pollution, low in cost, short in flow and easy for industrial amplification.
