Abstract

This application provides a composite positive-electrode material and a preparation method thereof, a positive-electrode plate, a secondary battery, and a battery module, a battery pack, and an apparatus containing such secondary battery. The composite positive-electrode material includes a core and a coating layer covering at least part of a surface of the core, where the core includes a positive-electrode pre-lithiation material, the positive-electrode pre-lithiation material includes a lithium-rich metal oxide, and the coating layer includes a positive-electrode active material.

Claims (19)

1. A composite positive-electrode material, comprising a core and a coating layer covering at least part of a surface of the core, wherein:

the core comprises a positive-electrode pre-lithiation material, the positive-electrode pre-lithiation material comprises a lithium-rich metal oxide, and the coating layer comprises a positive-electrode active material;

a charging cut-off voltage of the positive-electrode active material is 3.5V-4.2V (vs. Li/Li + ), and the lithium-rich metal oxide is selected from one or more of Li 5 FeO 4 , Li 2 CuO 2 , Li 2 Cu x1 Ni 1-x1-y1 M y1 O 2 , and Li 2 MnO 2 , wherein 0<x1 <1, 0≤y1<0.1, M is selected from one or more of Zn, Sn, Mg, Fe, and Mn; and

2. The composite positive-electrode material according to claim 1 , wherein, in the composite positive-electrode material, the positive-electrode active material is distributed on the surface of the core in a form of independent particles; and

a mass ratio of the positive-electrode pre-lithiation material to the positive-electrode active material is 1:2-1:35.

3. The composite positive-electrode material according to claim 1 , wherein a median particle size D v 50 of the positive-electrode pre-lithiation material is 2 μm-35 μm.

4. The composite positive-electrode material according to claim 1 , wherein a median particle size D v 50 of the positive-electrode active material is 0.1 μm-15 μm.

5. The composite positive-electrode material according to claim 1 , wherein

a valence state of each metal element other than Li in the lithium-rich metal oxide is lower than its own highest oxidation valence state.

6. The composite positive-electrode material according to claim 1 , wherein the median particle size D v 50 of the positive-electrode active material is 1 μm-15 μm. .
