The invention relates to a preparation method for a lithium ion battery negative electrode material, and belongs to the technical field of a lithium ion battery. The preparation method comprises the steps of taking and placing silicate glass in a ball-milling tank, adding a sodium chloride solution for ball-milling, and sieving to obtain silicate glass powder; taking and placing Arabic gum and tragacanth gum in the ball-milling tank for ball-milling, and sieving to obtain tragacanth gum and Arabic gun mixture power; mixing the silicate glass ball-milling powder, the Arabic gum and the tragacanth gum, adding zinc powder, and performing stirring to obtain a colloid powder mixture; filling the colloid powder mixture in a die, performing pressing and pressure preservation, placing the die in abaking box, and performing standing and cooling to a room temperature after thermal curing to obtain a cured material; and placing the cured material in a tubular atmosphere furnace, introducing nitrogen to remove air, controlling a temperature, performing heat preservation and carbonization, and performing standing and cooling to the room temperature, thereby obtaining a silicon carbon compositenegative electrode material. The obtained negative electrode material has good rate performance, high capacity and good conductivity, and the application of the silicon negative electrode material isexpanded by electrical contact.
