The invention provides a positive
electrode material and a preparation method and application thereof.The positive
electrode material comprises a base body and an island-shaped
coating layer arranged on the surface of the base body, and the base body is a
lithium ion layered
oxide with an O2 phase stacking structure; the
coating layer is selected from one or more of oxides of an element M, and the element M is selected from one or more of Al, Mg, Ti, Y, Zr, La, Ce, Pr, Si, Sn, Cu, W, Sm, Gd, In, Zn and Fe. According to the positive
electrode material disclosed by the invention, the surface of the
lithium ion layered
oxide matrix with the O2 phase accumulation structure is coated with the specific island-shaped
oxide coating layer, so that the positive
electrode material has relatively high specific capacity,
structural stability and positive
electrode interface stability under
high voltage, and further good cycle performance is obtained.
