In the various examples, the list is merely a representative group and should not be construed as exhaustive.
Generally, the energy density of ternary materials such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese and the like gradually increases with the increase of the nickel content, but the capacity thereof is drastically reduced. The inventors have found that this is caused by mechanisms such as phase transition, microcracking, interfacial reaction side reaction, and the like occurring between the electrolyte and the nickel-rich cathode material. To reduce the capacity fade problem of nickel-rich cathode materials, surface modification and ion doping are the most effective two methods, wherein ion doping is commonly found in high temperature solid phase stages, typically by high speed mixing and sintering of different doping additives, precursors, lithium salts. However, such a mixed material directly added with different additives and sintering method are difficult to disperse them in a lithium nickel cobalt manganese layered structure according to a specific ratio, which tends to cause instability in electrochemical performance of the cathode material. Therefore, how to make the effect of the doping additive more effectively exerted and to make the output of the prepared cathode material stable and excellent in electrochemical performance becomes a difficulty of research in the art. Accordingly, the present inventors have proposed the following technical solutions.

It is understood that the term "bimetallic oxide cluster" as used herein refers to a macromolecular species formed by one or more groups of metal atoms (as the host element, such as niobium and zirconium atoms) bonded together with oxygen atoms (as the host element).
The ternary positive electrode material provided by the application comprises the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide and the coating layer, wherein the bulk phase of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide contains niobium element and zirconium element, the niobium element can regulate and control radial growth and accumulation of spherical particles of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, the structure accumulation is compact, the pulverization of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide can be inhibited during continuous charge and discharge, and the cyclic stability of the material is improved. The radius of the zirconium element is larger than that of transition metal elements (such as nickel, cobalt and manganese), so that the interlayer spacing can be increased after the zirconium element enters a bulk phase lattice of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, a Li + migration channel is widened, the Li + transport dynamics is faster, and the impedance is reduced, so that the multiplying power performance and the cycling stability of the material under high voltage are improved. Meanwhile, the coating layer contains lithium phosphate and polypyrrole, the lithium phosphate is used as a fast ion conductor to accelerate the Li + transmission rate of an interface, and the lithium phosphate and the polypyrrole with high conductivity can mutually cooperate to promote the quick transmission of Li +, so that the rate capability of the ternary positive electrode material is further effectively improved.
In some embodiments, the total content of the niobium element and the zirconium element in the ternary cathode material is 70000 ppm to 9000ppm. For example, the content may be 7000ppm,7500ppm,8000ppm,8500ppm,9000ppm or within a range composed of any of the above values.

In some embodiments, the thickness of the coating layer is 15 nm-20 nm. For example, the thickness of the coating layer may be 15nm,16nm,17nm,19nm,20nm or within a range consisting of any of the above values.

In some embodiments, nb 5+ and Zr 4+ are included in the bulk phase of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide.

And because the radius of Zr 4+ is larger than that of transition metals (such as Ni 2+,Co3+ and Mn 4+), the interlayer spacing can be increased after Zr 4+ enters the bulk phase lattice of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, the migration channel of Li + is widened, the transport kinetics of Li + is faster, and the impedance is reduced, so that the rate capability and the cycling stability of the material under high voltage are further improved.

During the second sintering process of step S2, mg 2+ diffuses into the shallow surface layer of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide and (P 2O74- reacts with the lithium source to form a lithium phosphate fast ion conductor, thereby facilitating the reduction of residual alkali.

In some embodiments, the second sintering process is performed for a period of 12h to 15h.
In some embodiments, the oxygen concentration of the second sintering treatment is 97% or more, and the furnace pressure is 10pa to 18pa.

TABLE 1
As can be seen from Table 1, compared with comparative examples 1 to 5, the ternary cathode materials prepared in examples 1 to 8 have higher specific capacity, lower DCR for the first time, excellent rate performance, lower residual alkali and stronger application performance.
The content of Li 2ZrO3 in the bimetallic oxide cluster in the example 2 is increased, the interlayer spacing can be increased after Zr 4+ is doped into the crystal lattice, the migration channel of Li + is widened, and the bonding energy of Zr-O is stronger than that of (Ni, co and Mn) -O, so that the capacity retention rate, the first DCR and the rate capability of the example 2 are all improved compared with those of the example 1.
The sintering temperature of the mixture of LiNbO 3 and Li 2ZrO3 in example 3 is advantageously increased to enhance the bonding force between the two structures, so that the cycle retention and rate performance of example 3 are both improved as compared to example 1.
Since the increase in the sintering temperature and the increase in the sintering time in step S2 in example 5 can suppress cation mixing, the specific discharge capacity in example 5 is significantly improved as compared with example 4.
In the embodiment 6, the content of the bimetallic oxide cluster powder is increased, the migration channel of Li + can be widened by Zr 4+ doping, the bonding capability of Zr-O bonds is strong, and the radial growth of lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide can be promoted by Nb 5+ doping, so that the capacity retention rate, the first DCR and the multiplying power performance of the embodiment 6 are obviously improved compared with those of the embodiment 4.
The total amount of MgHPO 4 and PPy in example 8 was increased, mgHPO 4 was able to react with Li + to form a fast ion conductor, was able to reduce residual alkali and increase conductivity, and thus the rate performance of example 8 was improved and residual Li + was reduced compared to example 7.
