The invention discloses a preparation method of a
lithium cobalt oxide positive
electrode material, the
lithium cobalt oxide positive
electrode material and a
lithium battery, and relates to the technical field of lithium
ion batteries. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, preparing a polycrystalline
lithium cobalt oxide defective product and a single-
crystal lithium cobalt oxide defective product, and respectively introducing
doping elements in a first additive and a second additive into the polycrystalline
lithium cobalt oxide defective product and the single-
crystal lithium
cobalt oxide defective product; a polycrystalline lithium
cobalt oxide defective product, a third additive and a fourth additive are mixed and sintered, a
sintering aid (the third additive contains a
doping element M1) and a high-valence
transition metal compound (the fourth additive contains a
doping element M2) are matched, a high-melting-point Li-Co-M1-M2 phase is generated at the
grain boundary, the
grain boundary binding energy is improved, and therefore the
compressive strength of the
polycrystalline material is improved. After the
grain boundary optimized lithium
cobalt oxide defective product and the monocrystal lithium
cobalt oxide defective product are graded, the lithium cobalt oxide positive
electrode material with high compaction density can be obtained, and meanwhile, the positive
electrode material can give consideration to rate performance and cycle performance.
