The invention discloses a lithium ion battery layered positive electrode material doped with metal ions, and a preparation method thereof. The molecular general formula of the layered positive electrode material is Li1+aM1-a-xMexO2, wherein M is any one or more of Mn, Ni, Co, Al, Cr, Mg, Ca, Zr, Ti, Zn, and Fe, Me is any one or both of Sb and Bi, a is not less than 0 and not more than 1/3, and x is more than 0 and not more than 2/3. The preparation method comprises the following steps: respectively processing metal salt (M + Me + Li) and a precipitating agent to prepare organic solvent solutions with certain concentrations; and mixing the solutions, transferring the obtained mixed solution to a reaction kettle, carrying out a solvothermal reaction, filtering the obtained reaction product, drying the filtered reaction product, and sintering the dried reaction product to obtain the filtration, drying and sintering to obtain the lithium ion battery layered positive electrode material doped with metal ions. The lithium ion battery layered positive electrode material doped with the metal ions Sb and Bi can inhibit the voltage attenuation and increase the rate capacity, and is suitable for lithium ion batteries.
