The invention discloses a preparation method of a modified
lithium-rich
manganese-based positive
electrode material and the positive
electrode material. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) respectively preparing aqueous solutions of
nickel-
cobalt-
manganese metal ions, a precipitator and a complexing agent; (2) adding the
nickel-
cobalt-
manganese metal ion solution, the precipitant solution and the complexing agent solution into a reaction kettle for reaction to obtain a suspension; (3) washing, filtering and
drying the suspension to obtain a
nickel-
cobalt-manganese
composite material precursor; the
chemical formula of the nickel-cobalt-manganese
composite material precursor is Mn < x > Ni < y > Co < z > (OH) < 2 > or Mn < x > Ni < y > Co < z > CO < 3 >, 1, 0.1 lt; yt; Yt; 0, 0.5, 0 lt; zlt, zlt; 0.3 part; (4) adding the nickel-cobalt-manganese
composite material precursor Mn < x > Ni < y > Co < z > (OH) < 2 > or Mn < x > Ni < y > Co < z > CO < 3 >, a
titanium source, an aluminum source and a
phosphate radical source into an
organic solvent for mixing, heating, stirring and mixing at 40-80 DEG C, and
drying at 80-120 DEG C to obtain an aluminum-
titanium phosphate coated precursor; and (5)
grinding the aluminum
titanium phosphate coated precursor, mixing with a
lithium source, and
sintering at 400-950 DEG C to obtain the positive
electrode material. The scheme of the invention has the advantages of being higher in capacity, better in cycle performance, simple and easy to implement, and capable of realizing industrialization.
