The invention discloses a graphitized carbon-based adsorption material and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: placing phenolic resin under the protection of inert gas, continuously heating to 1200-1600 DEG C at a certain rate, continuously heating at constant temperature, carrying out high-temperature anaerobic carbonization, cooling to room temperature, crushing, and sieving to obtain a black granular product. The method adopts the thermoplastic phenol-formaldehyde resin as the unique raw material, does not need any additive, is lower in preparation temperature, avoids the defects of high preparation temperature, serious energy consumption, high metal content and the like in the traditional method, is simple in preparation process, and is suitable for industrial large-scale preparation; the prepared graphitized carbon-based adsorption material can replace a commercially available graphitized carbon black material recommended in the determination isotope dilution high-resolution gas chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (HJ 77.2-2008) of ambient air and waste gas-dioxins, the recovery rate range of PCDD/Fs extraction internal standard is 80%-107%, and the requirements are met.
