Abstract

The examples of the present application provide a positive electrode material and a lithium-ion battery. The positive electrode material comprises: a substrate material; and a coating material formed on at least one part of a surface of the substrate material; the general formula of the substrate material being Li x Co y M 1-y O 2 , wherein 1.0≤x≤1.2, 0.8≤y≤1.0 and M is at least one selected from the group consisting of Mg, Ti, Al, Zr, Ni, Mn; the coating material includes Y 2 O 3 and at least two selected from the group consisting of La 2 O 3 , ZrO 2 and CeO 2 . The examples of the present application enable the battery prepared by the provided positive electrode material to have a lower storage expansion ratio, a higher capacity retention ratio, and improved cycle performance at a high charge cutoff voltage by the interaction of at least three kinds of oxides.
