The invention discloses an anion-cation co-doped high-nickel single-crystal ternary positive electrode material as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The molecular formula of the anion-cation co-doped high-nickel single-crystal ternary positive electrode material is Li1+aNixCoyMnzMaO2-bOb; wherein M is one or more of Mg, Sf, Al, Zr, Nb, Ta, Mo, Ti, Y, W and V; Q is one or more of F, N, P, S and Se; 1 > x > y > = z > 0, x > = 0.5, and x + y + z = 1. The element Q and the element M of the anion and cation co-doped high-nickel single-crystal ternary positive electrode material replace the site of oxygen and the sites of transition metal nickel, cobalt and manganese respectively, so that the capacity fading and the voltage drop of the high-nickel single-crystal ternary positive electrode material in the cycle process can be inhibited, and the cycle stability, the thermal stability and the intrinsic conductivity can be improved; The rate capability is improved, so that the capacity fading and microcracks of the high-nickel ternary positive electrode material in the circulation process can be effectively inhibited.
