Abstract
The present invention relates to a spherical or spherical-like cathode material for lithium-ion battery and a lithium-ion battery. The chemical formula of the cathode material is LiaNixCoyMnzMbO2, wherein: 1.02≤a≤1.20; 0.0≤b≤0.5; 0.30≤x≤0.60; 0.20≤y≤0.40; 0.05≤z≤0.50; x+y+z=1; M is one or two or more selected from the group consisting of Mg Ti Al Zr Y Co Mn Ni Ba and rare earth elements. Under the scanning electron microscope, the cathode material comprises primary particles with a morphology of spherical or spherical shape, and secondary particles agglomerated by the primary particles. The number percentage of the secondary particles agglomerated by the primary particles is less than or equal to 30%. The lithium battery prepared by the obtained cathode material has high specific capacity, high temperature stability, excellent safety and cycling performance at high temperature, and the preparation method thereof is simple and the cost is relatively low.
