A
composite cathode material precursor, its preparation method, and its application are disclosed. The
composite cathode material precursor comprises an N-doped
iron phosphate core and an M-doped
iron phosphate coating layer covering the surface of the
iron phosphate core. The N element includes at least one selected from Mn, Ni, Co, Cr, V, Mg, Sr, Nb, La, Nd, Ce, and Y, and the M element includes at least one selected from Al, Ti, and Zr. By introducing
doping elements N and M into the core and
coating layer of the
cathode material precursor, respectively, the
crystal structure of iron
phosphate can be adjusted, improving its
conductivity and
ion diffusion rate. Furthermore, the
doping elements N and M form a synergistic effect in the
composite cathode material precursor, comprehensively improving the
structural stability, cycle life,
ion transport rate, and electrochemical performance of the
cathode material by optimizing the
crystal nucleus structure, enhancing the stability of the
coating layer, and regulating the
electronic structure.
