The invention relates to a preparation method of a lithium ion battery carbon microsphere negative electrode material. The method comprises: mixing carbon black, a binder and a solvent to prepare a slurry, conducting spray drying for molding, and then carrying out a high temperature treatment so as to obtain the lithium ion battery carbon microsphere negative electrode material. The lithium ion battery carbon microsphere negative electrode material provided in the invention has a high degree of sphericity and a controllable particle size, so that close packing of the negative electrode material is realized, the volume energy density of electrodes is enhanced. Meanwhile, lithium ions can be embedded from all directions, and the structural stability, the rate capability and the first coulombic efficiency of the material are improved. The carbon microspheres internally have size-controllable gaps, which make up a plurality of ion transport channels, thus being conducive to improving the charge-discharge capacity and cyclic capacity retention rate of the material. Also, the main preparation raw material is carbon black, which has wide sources, no need for breaking, and a low price. And the preparation method has the advantages of simple process, environmental friendliness, low energy consumption and cost, and is easy for large scale production.
