The invention discloses a method for preparing a 
lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide ternary 
cathode material in liquid-phase 
sugar coating and 
spray drying manners. The method comprises the steps of firstly mixing sulphate liquids of Ni, Co and Mn, performing a 
coprecipitation reaction under an alkaline condition to prepare a ternary composite precursor (NixCoyMnz)(OH)2, filtering, washing, 
drying, adding the ternary composite precursor, a soluble 
metal lithium compound, a 
rare earth compound to a 
sugar-dissolved 
solvent, uniformly mixing, and 
spray drying to obtain a 
sugar-coated rare-earth-element-doped ternary precursor, finally performing high-temperature 
calcination to obtain a rare-earth-element-doped ternary material LiNixCoyMnzRnO2, wherein R is a doped 
rare earth element, the sum of x, y and z is equal to 1, and n is not less than 0.002 and is not greater than 0.1. According to the method for preparing the 
lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide ternary 
cathode material in the liquid-phase sugar 
coating and 
spray drying manners, sugar 
coating is utilized, so that the dissipation of pungent smell is reduced in a spray 
drying process; the prepared stoichiometric-ratio ternary material has the advantages that the secondary particle 
dispersity is good, the size is uniform, the infiltration of 
electrolyte is facilitated, the 
diffusion rate of lithium ions is increased basically, and the impedance of the lithium ions during 
diffusion is reduced, so that the electrical property of a material is improved, and the stable production is convenient.
