The present application provides a positive 
electrode material, a method for preparing the same and a Li-
ion battery containing the positive 
electrode material, wherein, the positive 
electrode material is represented as Li1+xNiaCobMncMdO2, in which M is selected from one or more of Mg, Ti, Zn, Zr, Al and Nb. The positive 
electrode material provided by the present application has a small 
crystal volume and a small Li—Ni synchysis degree. In addition, after the positive 
electrode material provided by the present application is applied to a Li-
ion battery, the Li-
ion battery possesses a better cycle performance, a higher initial charge-
discharge efficiency and a better power property. Moreover, in the present application, a precursor is prepared by a 
coprecipitation method, and then the precursor is sintered together with a Li source and a 
metal oxide to obtain the positive 
electrode material. This preparation method is simple and easy to implement with low costs, and can be applied in industrial manufacture on a large scale.
