The invention discloses a ternary positive
electrode material, a preparation method thereof and an electrochemical device. The preparation method comprises the following steps: mixing a continuous ternary precursor, a
lithium source and an aluminum source, and carrying out first
sintering to obtain a first sintered product; the primary
sintering product is subjected to secondary
sintering and dispersion, a single-
crystal base material is obtained, the base material comprises a plurality of primary particles, the
average size of the primary particles ranges from 2 micrometers to 3 micrometers, and the median particle size Dv50 of the primary particles ranges from 3 micrometers to 5 micrometers; mixing the matrix material with an
aqueous solution of
lithium phosphate, and carrying out wet
coating to obtain a coated product; and sintering the coated product for the third time, so that the
lithium phosphate forms a
coating layer on the surface of the matrix material, and the ternary positive
electrode material is obtained. According to the invention, through two-
parameter control of the
average size and the median particle size of the matrix material and simultaneous
aluminum element internal
doping and
lithium phosphate surface coating of the matrix material, the
structural stability and the cycle performance of the ternary positive
electrode material are improved and the service life of the ternary positive
electrode material is prolonged through a synergistic effect.
