The invention relates to a preparation method of a high-performance spherical lithium nickel cobalt aluminate anode material. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving aluminum salt in a sodium hydroxide solution; preparing a nickel salt aqueous solution, a cobalt salt solution, acetylacetone, a nickel-cobalt salt complexing agent, an ammonia-water solution and a precipitator solution for later use; adding the solutions into a reaction kettle at the same time by controlling molar weights of aluminum, nickel and cobalt, and controlling a molar ratio of aluminum salt to the acetylacetone and a molar ratio of nickel and cobalt salt to the nickel-cobalt complexing agent; at 30 to 80 DEG C, keeping the reaction for 20 to 80 hours, and performing aging reaction for 10 to 20 hours; centrifugally filtering reaction liquid, thus obtaining a preliminary filter cake, adding the preliminary filter cake into a sodium carbonate solution for stirring and washing, then performing centrifugal filtering, thus obtaining a secondary filter cake, then repeatedly washing and filtering the secondary filter cake with distilled water till the pH of filtrate is smaller than 9, and obtaining a final filter cake; drying the final filter cake, thus obtaining a precursor; mixing the precursor with lithium, sintering the precursor in a rotary sintering furnace under the existence of oxygen, thus obtaining the lithium nickel cobalt aluminate anode material.
