[0036] The application has the following beneficial effects:

[0037] The positive active material, the preparation method thereof, the battery and the application thereof of the application are prepared by first doping the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary material with Al 3+ , then coating the Al-doped material with ZrO2, and finally compounding the Al-doped and ZrO2-coated material with carbon nanotubes; the preparation method not only retains the high energy density advantage of the high-nickel ternary material, but also solves the core pain points of short cycle life, poor rate performance and low thermal safety. 3+ The Al 3+ doping stabilizes the body phase structure and inhibits volume expansion; the ZrO2 coating blocks the corrosion of the electrolyte and reduces the dissolution of transition metals; and the carbon nanotube compounding constructs a conductive network and improves electronic conduction.

[0038] The Al 3+ doping reduces the expansion / contraction of the body phase structure, indirectly reduces the risk of cracks in the ZrO2 coating layer caused by particle deformation, and makes the protective effect of the coating layer more durable; the ZrO2 coating isolates the direct reaction between the ternary material and the electrolyte, prolonging the service life of the conductive network; and the high conductivity of the carbon nanotube offsets the Al3+ The negative effects of doping and ZrO2 coating insulation layer, achieve the balance of "stability-conductivity".

[0039] Al 3+ Ion radius and Ni 3+ Close, can replace part of the transition metal site into the layered lattice of ternary materials, due to the Al-O bond energy is significantly higher than the Ni-O bond, can stabilize the oxygen layer arrangement, inhibit the release of lattice oxygen in the charge and discharge process, at the same time, Al 3+ Doping can reduce the lithium nickel mixed degree, reduce the blockage of lithium ion transport channel; and reduce the fracture caused by internal stress of particles.

[0040] ZrO2 has excellent chemical stability and good resistance to acid and alkali corrosion, and has good compatibility with the surface of ternary materials. By uniform coating, a dense physical barrier can be formed, which can block the direct contact of electrolyte, especially HF produced by LiPF6 hydrolysis, with the surface of ternary materials, reducing the dissolution of transition metals (Ni, Co, Mn). In addition, the high temperature resistance of ZrO2 is much better than that of traditional Al2O3 coating layer, which can still maintain integrity under high temperature cycle or overcharge conditions, avoiding direct corrosion of electrolyte to exposed material surface.

[0041] The carboxyl group introduced on the surface of the acid-treated carbon nanotube can enhance the interfacial bonding force with the precursor particles; by ultrasonic-stirring compounding, the carbon nanotubes are uniformly distributed on the surface and gap of the particles, forming a three-dimensional conductive network. Since the conductivity of carbon nanotubes is much higher than that of ternary materials itself, the electronic transmission resistance can be significantly reduced. At the same time, the flexible structure of carbon nanotubes can buffer the volume change in the charge and discharge process, reduce the failure of conductive contact between particles, and ensure the rapid transmission of electrons under high rate.

[0042] The alkoxy group of silane coupling agent KH550 can undergo condensation reaction with the hydroxyl group on the surface of ZrO2 coating layer, forming stable Si-O-Zr covalent bond, and its amino group can form hydrogen bond or acid-base action with the carboxyl group on the surface of carbon nanotube, significantly improving the interfacial bonding force of carbon nanotube, ZrO2 coating layer and precursor three; the silane molecules form a dense organic-inorganic hybrid layer on the surface of the composite, which can reduce the corrosion of HF in the electrolyte to the positive electrode material and reduce the dissolution rate of transition metal ions.
