The high-
nickel, low-
cobalt cathode material provided in this application includes a
cathode material substrate, a first
coating layer, and a second
coating layer. The first
coating layer coats the surface of the
cathode material substrate, and the second coating layer coats the surface of the first coating layer. The first coating layer comprises a material with the
chemical formula Li. a Ni b Co c M 1‑b‑c O d The material comprises M, which includes one or both of Mn and Al, with 0.2 ≤ a ≤ 1, 0.88 < b ≤ 0.98, 0 ≤ c < 0.06, b + c < 1, and 1.6 ≤ d ≤ 2; the material of the second coating layer includes one or more of Li3PO4, Li2SO4, and LiPO3. The above-mentioned high-
nickel, low-
cobalt cathode material can prevent the
electrolyte from corroding the
cathode material matrix, protect the integrity of the bulk structure, and effectively inhibit the
decomposition and collapse of the
layered structure of the high-
nickel, low-
cobalt cathode material during charge-
discharge cycles, thereby improving the long-cycle performance of the high-nickel, low-cobalt cathode material.
