[0003] Patent CN105406069 A discloses a method for coating ternary materials with lithium manganese iron phosphate. In this method, ascorbic acid is mixed with lithium manganese phosphate, mixed with ternary materials, and then vacuum-dried. The method involves the participation of acidic substances in the coating process. The ternary material is an oxide and is easily corroded by acidic substances. Therefore, the method has shortcomings and the improvement of the ternary material is limited.

[0004] CN107230771 A discloses a kind of method of vanadium phosphate coating ternary material, this method mixes vanadium salt and phosphate reducing agent in deionized water, after stirring, filter, wash, dry and ternary material according to 1~10: The ingredient ratio is 100, mixed in a high-speed mixer, and then heat-preserved and sintered at 200-400 degrees under a non-oxygen atmosphere to obtain a coated ternary coated modified material. Mixing, uneven coating, weak interaction between solid particles, it is difficult to achieve film formation or uniform mixing, and the residual lithium on the solid-phase mixed ternary surface still exists in the solid phase on the ternary surface, which still affects the cycle performance of the ternary. This coating method has limited improvement in the cycle performance of the ternary, and there is a problem of uneven coating

[0005] Patent CN105047864 A discloses a method of using lithium zirconate to coat ternary materials. This method utilizes the nickel-cobalt-manganese precursor prepared by oxalate and tetrabutyl zirconate to react hydrothermally at 180 degrees to form a zirconia coating layer. Then sinter at high temperature to obtain the coating material of lithium zirconate. This method uses a liquid phase zirconium source, and tetrabutyl zirconate is used as the coating material, because the liquid phase should have better dispersion relative to the solid phase. solution, so better coating can be achieved, but the electrochemical performance after coating still needs to be further improved
