[0140] Comparing Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that Examples 1-5 have excellent capacity retention rate at low temperature and high rate, which is much higher than 74.3% of Comparative Example 2, which is entirely because the second polymer coating layer coated on the surface of Examples 1-5 has excellent ductility, with a mechanical strength of more than 5 MPa and an elongation at break of more than 1000%, which effectively inhibits the crystal expansion of the positive electrode material at high rate charge and discharge, stabilizes the crystal structure, and improves the capacity decay problem of the positive electrode material at high rate charge and discharge.
