The invention belongs to the technical field of battery materials, and particularly relates to a ternary positive
electrode material and a preparation method and application thereof.The preparation method of the ternary positive
electrode material comprises the following steps that 1, a
nickel source, a
cobalt source, a
manganese source and a
lithium source are mixed according to the
molar ratio of Li: Ni: Co: Mn = x: a: z: c and then subjected to first-time
calcination, and a first-time sintered material is obtained; (2) a
lithium source and a
cobalt source are supplemented on the basis of the primary sintered material, so that the total
molar ratio of Li to Ni to Co to Mn is y: a: b: c, a fluxing agent is added, mixing is performed, secondary
calcination is performed, a secondary sintered material is obtained, 0.5 < = a < = 0.95, 0.01 < = b < = 0.3, 0.03 < = c < = 0.3, 0.8 < = x < = 1.15, 0 < = z < = 0.3, 1.0 < = y < = 1.5, z < = b, and x < = y; and (3) mixing the
coating additive with the secondary sintered material, and performing third
calcination to obtain the ternary positive
electrode material.
