The invention relates to an anode material for a lithium-sulfur rechargeable battery and a preparation method of the anode material. According to the specific method, biomass waste, namely a durian shell is adopted as a raw material, and after pre-carbonization, potassium hydroxide activation and other methods are adopted, an activated carbon material with an ultrahigh specific surface area and alarge pore volume is prepared; and the activated carbon material is used as a carrier, and a fused diffusion method is further adopted to prepare a carbon/sulfur composite. It is shown by an electrochemical test that the first discharge specific capacity, under a 0.5C current, of an anode prepared from the carbon/sulfur composite with sulfur capacity of 60wt.% is 1,074.23mAhg<-1>; after 100 timesof circulation, the discharge specific capacity of the anode is still 724.74mAhg<-1>; and the carbon/sulfur composite anode material, which is prepared by using the biomass waste, namely the durian shell as the raw material, has the advantages of being high in sulfur capacity, good in chemical stability, high in specific capacity, excellent in rate capability, simple in preparation method and thelike and can be well applied to the lithium-sulfur rechargeable battery.
