In the preparation method of the positive electrode material provided in this application, the lithium-nickel transition metal oxide A and/or the lithium-nickel transition metal oxide B may be surface-modified, for example, the lithium-nickel transition metal oxide A and/or lithium-nickel transition metal oxide B are separately surface-modified and then mixed, where the surface modification methods for the lithium-nickel transition metal oxide A and the lithium-nickel transition metal oxide B may be the same or different. Alternatively, the lithium-nickel transition metal oxide A and the lithium-nickel transition metal oxide B may be mixed first, and then the surface modification process is performed.
