The invention discloses a high-cycle 
lithium ion battery multi-element 
anode material NCM and a preparation method thereof. The multi-element 
anode material comprises a 
surface modified layer with the structure formula of LixNi1-y-zCoyMnzO2, wherein x is larger than or equal to 1 and smaller than or equal to 1.2, y is larger than or equal to 0 and smaller than or equal to 1 / 3, and z is larger than or equal to 0 and smaller than or equal to 1 / 3. The preparation method includes the steps of evenly mixing and 
sintering soluble 
lithium salt, multi-element precursors and dispersing agent, mixing and 
sintering the mixture and a wrapping material B again, and obtaining the multi-element 
anode material. Dispersing agent is added in the reaction process, and therefore the reaction uniformity is improved, and the 
oxygen defects caused in the reaction process are reduced or eliminated. By means of the prepared anode material, the 
structural stability of the material is improved, the difference between resistance and 
discharge potential of the material is reduced, the resistance and 
discharge potential can reach consistency on the aspect of de-intercalation of 
lithium ions, the structure of the material is stabilized, and the safety and electrochemical performance of the material are improved.
