This application belongs to the field of electrochemical technology, and specifically relates to a modified
cathode material, its preparation method, and a
cathode sheet, secondary battery, and electronic device containing the material. The modified
cathode material includes: a ternary
cathode material; and an
oxide coating on the surface of the ternary
cathode material, wherein the
coating is an island-like
coating, and the general
chemical formula of the
oxide is: Li. 2‑x A (1+x) / 3 B2O6F, 0.7≤x≤0.8; wherein A includes La and at least one of Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Al, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, and Zn; wherein B includes Nb and at least one of Ti, Zr, V, Mo, W, Bi, Ta, and Hf; wherein the
oxide content relative to the total
mass of the modified
cathode material is 0.6%~1.5%. The modified cathode material provided in this application has high capacity utilization, excellent rate performance, and good
thermal safety properties. Applying the modified cathode material provided in this application to secondary batteries can effectively improve the
energy density and
heat resistance of secondary batteries.
