The invention relates to an anode material for a lithium ion battery and a preparation method thereof, and in particular to a preparation method of micro-sodium ion doped high voltage lithium cobalt oxide, and belongs to the field of anode material for the lithium ion battery. The anode material for the lithium ion battery is lithium cobalt oxide doped by more than two metal elements. The chemical general formula of the anode material is Li(1-y)NayCo(1-x)MxO2, wherein y is greater than or equal to 0.0001 but less than or equal to 0.01, x is greater than 0 but less than or equal to 0.5, and M represents one or more of Al, Mg, Zr, Mn, Ni, Ti, Cr, Nb, Y, Cu, Sn, Sc, Ga, In, Ce and La. By doping the metal M, the cyclic stability of the lithium cobalt oxide material is improved; by doping the micro-sodium ions, the specific capacity of the material is improved on the basis of improvement of the cyclic stability of the lithium cobalt oxide material.
