本申请涉及锂离子电池领域，尤其涉及一种三元正极材料前驱体及其制备方法、三元正极材料、锂离子电池及正极和涉电设备。
背景技术
2021年，我国提出二氧化碳排放力争在2030年前达到峰值，努力争取2060年前实现碳中和；然而，世界汽车行业在迅速发展，汽车尾气排放量直接影响碳排放量；因此，绿色新能源汽车作为行业的未来发展方向，新能源汽车以锂电池作为新能源汽车的核心动力，正极前驱体材料作为锂电池的最重要组成部分，一直是技术核心所在。目前市面上最常见的有5系、6系三元前驱体，不过其电容量较低，限制了它在新能源汽车的应用。
各前驱体厂家陆续开发出高镍的前驱体产品，提高电池的容量，延长续航能力；高镍大颗粒前驱体一般采用间歇法合成，具有极窄的粒径分布，可也使得颗粒结构均一性强。
目前在锂电三元前驱体领域里，三元前驱体颗粒内部一般为孔隙少的致密结构，内部分布不均匀；其三元前驱体颗粒所制备的电池，锂离子扩散路径单一，扩散阻力大，倍率性能不足；并且，电池一直存在随着反复充电和放电，颗粒结构强度不稳定会在颗粒单元中易产生了开裂的问题，导致锂二次电池的寿命变短，容量变低，使用过程中安全性能较差。
因此，三元前驱体颗粒的内部结构单一，扩散阻力大，颗粒强度开裂不稳定导致电池的循环性能、倍率性能、安全性能等较差的突出问题成为当前急需攻克的技术难题。

连接词“由……组成”排除任何未指出的要素、步骤或组分。如果用于权利要求中，此短语将使权利要求为封闭式，使其不包含除那些描述的材料以外的材料，但与其相关的常规杂质除外。当短语“由……组成”出现在权利要求主体的子句中而不是紧接在主题之后时，其仅限定在该子句中描述的要素；其它要素并不被排除在作为整体的所述权利要求 之外。
当量、浓度、或者其它值或参数以范围、优选范围、或一系列上限优选值和下限优选值限定的范围表示时，这应当被理解为具体公开了由任何范围上限或优选值与任何范围下限或优选值的任一配对所形成的所有范围，而不论该范围是否单独公开了。例如，当公开了范围“1～5”时，所描述的范围应被解释为包括范围“1～4”、“1～3”、“1～2”、“1～2和4～5”、“1～3和5”等。当数值范围在本文中被描述时，除非另外说明，否则该范围意图包括其端值和在该范围内的所有整数和分数。
