The present invention discloses a positive
electrode active material, a preparation method thereof, a positive
electrode sheet, a battery and an electrical device. The positive
electrode active material includes a plurality of primary particles, and the equivalent number of sheet
layers N of the (003)
crystal plane of the positive electrode active material (003) and the equivalent number of sheet
layers N of the (104)
crystal plane (104) satisfy: N (003) *N (104) is 1×10 4 -3×10 4 , where D (003) is the average thickness of the positive electrode active material microcrystal in the direction perpendicular to the (003)
crystal plane, with the unit of nm, and d (003) is the
crystal plane spacing of the (003)
crystal plane in the positive electrode active material microcrystal, with the unit of nm, D (104) is the average thickness of the positive electrode active material microcrystal in the direction perpendicular to the (104)
crystal plane, with the unit of nm, and d (104) is the crystal plane spacing of the (104) crystal plane in the positive electrode active material microcrystal, with the unit of nm. Thus, by using this positive electrode active material, the battery loaded with it can take into account
high energy density, cycle performance, rate performance and safety performance.
