The invention discloses a ternary precursor with a controllable
crystal structure, a positive
electrode material and a preparation method of the positive
electrode material. Specifically, a
nickel-
cobalt-
manganese soluble salt, NaOH, concentrated
ammonia water and a surfactant for oriented growth are separately formulated into solutions and then subjected to a
coprecipitation reaction to obtain aternary precursor of an oriented grow structure; the precursor is mixed with a
lithium source and then calcined at high temperature to obtain a ternary layered positive
electrode material of an oriented grow precursor-like structure. The positive
electrode material the
crystal structure of which grows in a [003] direction is obtained by regulating the growth of the precursor, so that the order degree of internal structure growth is increased, the stability of internal structure growth is improved, cation mixing and Li+
diffusion resistance are reduced, and the Li+
diffusion coefficient is increased. The ternary precursor with the
crystal structure controllable, the positive
electrode material and the preparation method of the positive
electrode material are applicable to
lithium-
ion powerbatteries. Compared with existing products, the ternary precursor and the positive electrode material have the advantages that the rate performance and cycle stability of
lithium-
ion batteries are significantly improved.
