To solve these problems of the cathode material, the industry and academia tend to improve the structural stability and thermal stability of the ternary material by doping and cladding. However, the conventional modification method usually needs to dope the material at a higher temperature, the higher temperature can cause the surface impurity lithium to be rapidly increased and also easily damage the structure of the material, and the cycle performance of the material is easily reduced, and in the prior art, the material coated with TiO is obtained by secondary sintering or more sintering2、Li3PO4、ZrO2、V2O5、Al2O3、MoO3And the electrochemical performance of the ternary material is improved by the anode material of the materials.

However, the method cannot solve the problem of material interface instability, has limited performance of improving the material, and is not beneficial to production and use because of high toxicity of metal vanadium.
