The invention relates to a novel lithium ion battery cathode material. The novel lithium ion battery cathode material is prepared from the following components in parts by weight: 70-75 parts of active material, 5-10 parts of functional material, 4-7 parts of conductive materials and 4-7 parts of binding material, wherein the functional material is 60% lithium iron nitrate solution; the cathode material is lithium manganate; the conductive agents comprise a main conductive agent and an auxiliary conductive agent; the main conductive agent is conductive graphite; the auxiliary conductive agent is flake graphite. The defect of failure of lithium ion batteries caused by self-discharge of protection boards is overcome by adopting the novel lithium ion battery cathode material, thus improving self-discharge of the whole battery pack, achieving the aim of prolonging the lithium battery storage time and ensuring that the lithium batteries can be stored for a longer time under the condition that users do not charge the electric appliances after using the electric appliances.
