The invention relates to a high-rate long-cycle performance multi-element composite positive
electrode material and a preparation method thereof, wherein the positive
electrode material is a hollow structural sphere with D50 of 2-7 microns, and the
chemical formula of the positive
electrode material is LixNiyCozMn1-y-zO2; the positive
electrode material is internally doped with 0.02-1
mass% of a Zcompound, wherein Z is at least one of Nb or Ta; an aluminum compound accounting for 0.01-1
mass% of a matrix is coated on the surface of the positive
electrode material; and in the
chemical formula, x, y and z are the values of the
molar ratio of the related elements, wherein x is greater than 0.9 and less than 1.3, y is greater than or equal to 0.2 and less than 1, z is greater than 0 and less than 0.5, and y+z is less than or equal to 1. By virtue of the hollow structure of the invention, the infiltration and liquid retention capability of the non-
aqueous electrolyte can be enhanced, the path of
lithium ion transmission can be effectively shortened, and an effective
structure support is provided for high-current high-rate
charge and discharge; and the
hardness of the hollow sphere structure can be increased, the
crystal lattice junction also can be stabilized, and meanwhile, the
cycling performance of the material is greatly improved.
