The invention relates to a preparation method of a positive
electrode active material, the positive
electrode active material, a positive plate and a battery in the technical field of
lithium battery production, the method comprises the following steps: S1, uniformly mixing a
manganese-containing precursor, a
lithium source, a W source, an Nb source and a
metal source M to obtain a mixture; and S2,
roasting the mixture to obtain the positive
electrode active material. According to the method,
doping and
coating can be combined through one-step
calcination, the process is simple, the cost is low, and the method is suitable for industrial production; the
doping of
metal elements can stabilize the lattice structure of
lithium manganate, and prevents lattice
distortion and structural collapse of lithium
manganate in the charging and discharging process; in the
sintering process, W and Nb elements are diffused and uniformly enriched on the surface of the material for surface
doping of the material, and LiNbO3 and Li2WO4
coating layers are uniformly formed on the surface of the material, so that residual Li on the surface of the material is effectively eliminated, the capacity of the battery is effectively improved, and the cycle performance of the battery is improved.
