Patent document with publication No. CN112086616B discloses a preparation method of a large (010) crystal face nickel cobalt manganese or nickel cobalt manganese aluminum layered positive electrode material, which comprises first synthesizing a large (010) area sheet crystal nucleus, and then synthesizing a large (010) area medium-large particle size precursor, wherein the method performs (010) plane regulation and control on the medium-large particle size, and the primary particle size of the precursor is about 3 μm, which is not suitable for precursor products with particle sizes of 2 to 4 μm.
