How to improve the crystal structure and interface stability of the anode material and improve the rate capability, cycle performance and safety performance of the anode material, the prior art means are mainly divided into the following three types: surface coating, bulk phase doping, and controlling particle size, etc. Li prepared by Chinese patent CN103265071B2ZrO3A material which has electrochemical activity but has a narrow electrochemical window and cannot be used independently as an active material. Chinese patent CN105470455A prepares a surface-coated Li2ZrO3LiNi of (2)0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2The transition metal oxide is used as an anode active substance, the material with the high lithium ion conductivity and the high conductivity coating layer has good cycle performance and rate capability, but the surface coating cannot be stabilized on the surface of the material for a long time, and the stress strain generated after multiple reactions causes the coating layer to fall off, so that the comprehensive performance of the material is poor.
