The invention discloses a ternary precursor material with an internally dense and externally loose structure primary particle
bulk density, an
anode material and a preparation method thereof. The particle of the ternary precursor material has an internally dense and externally loose structure
bulk density. The ternary precursor material is NixCoyMn2M1-x-y-z(OH)2 or NixCoyMnzM1-x-y-zCO3, x is greater than 0 and smaller than 1, y is greater than 0 and smaller than 1, z is greater than 0 and smaller than 1, x+y+z is smaller than or equal to 1, M is one or more of Zr, Fe, Sm, Pr, Nb, Ga, Zn, Y, Mg, Al, Cr, Ca, Na, Ti, Cu, K, Sr, Mo, Ba, Ce, Sn, Sb, La and Bi. According to the invention, based on comprehensive consideration of the tap density and rate performance changing situation, the introduction position and concentration of a surfactant are designed, and the accumulation compactness of particles from the inside to the outside at all parts is regulated, thus finally realizing development of the optimal overall performance of the material. The materials prepared by the method provided by the invention have the characteristics of excellent post-
sintering rate and cycle performance, and high tap density.
