The invention provides a lithium ion battery and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the steps of 1, arranging a first pole piece A1, a first pole piece A2, a third pole piece A3,..., and a first pole piece An on the first surface of a diaphragm at intervals in sequence along the length direction of a diaphragm; 2, taking the first pole piece A1 and a first clearance as a first bending unit which is bent towards a first direction, placing a second pole piece on the second surface of the first clearance, taking the first pole piece A1 as a second bending unit which is bent towards a second direction, and acquiring a first laminated unit; 3, taking the first laminated unit and a second clearance as a first bending unit, taking the first laminated unit as a second bending unit,repeating the step 2 to obtain a second laminated unit; ...; n, taking the (n-2)th laminated unit and the (n-1)th clearance as a first bending unit, taking the (n-2)th laminated unit as a second bending unit, repeating the step 2 to obtain a (n-1)th laminated unit, and thus obtaining a battery pole set. Therefore, the stacking time of the pole pieces can be reduced, and the preparation efficiencyof the lithium ion battery can be improved.
