The invention provides an aluminum-coated positive
electrode material capable of inhibiting
oxygen release and a battery comprising the aluminum-coated positive
electrode material. The aluminum-coated positive
electrode material comprises positive electrode
active particles and an aluminum layer coated on the surfaces of the positive electrode
active particles. According to the invention, the surface of the positive active particle is coated with the aluminum layer, and by utilizing the reducibility of the
metal simple substance aluminum, when the battery is in
thermal runaway, the positive active particle is decomposed to release
oxygen, and the
metal simple substance aluminum coated on the positive active particle can reduce
oxygen to form a
metal oxide, namely, aluminum
oxide; the ignition of the combustible
electrolyte under the condition that the released oxygen accumulates heat is avoided, and the risk of
thermal runaway of the battery is effectively reduced. The metal simple substance aluminum has high electrical
conductivity, the electrical
conductivity of the positive
electrode material can be improved, meanwhile, aluminum
oxide is generated after the metal simple substance aluminum absorbs oxygen, the aluminum oxide is gradually lithiated in the charging and discharging process to form a
fast ion conductor, the
ionic conductivity of the positive electrode is improved, and the cycle life of the battery is prolonged.
