The present invention belongs to the technical field of batteries. Provided are a positive
electrode active material and a preparation method therefor, a positive
electrode sheet, a battery and an electric device. The positive
electrode active material comprises an active material body and a
boride, wherein the active material body comprises a plurality of agglomerated
active particles; the inner core of each active particle comprises NaaRb(PO4)2P2O7, where a is 3.5-4.5, b is 2.5-3.5, and R comprises at least one of Mg, Al, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Zr, Cr, Nb, Mo, In, Ga, Sn, Hf, Ta, W and Pb; and the shell layer of each active particle comprises a
carbon coating layer. By converting residual alkali on the surface of the positive electrode active material into a
boride, a reduction in residual alkali on the surface of the positive electrode active material is achieved. The
boride has a more stable structure, and is not prone to reacting during the production and use of a battery, thereby ameliorating the problems of gas production, etc., of the battery.
