The invention relates to a preparation method of a biomass carbon-based electrode for an asymmetric capacitance desalting device, which comprises the following steps: cleaning shrimp and crab shells,carrying out ultrasonic treatment, drying, pulverizing into powder, carbonizing in an inert atmosphere, adding an activator into a carbonized product, heating to 800-1200 DEG C under the protection ofinert gas, keeping the temperature for 2-4 hours, cooling, pickling, washing with water, filtering, and drying to obtain nitrogen-doped porous carbon; respectively carrying out sulfide modification and positive charge modification on the nitrogen-doped porous carbon, dispersing the modified nitrogen-doped porous carbon, acetylene black and polytetrafluoroethylene in absolute ethyl alcohol, evaporating to a paste, coating conductive substrate graphite paper with the paste, drying, and assembling to form an asymmetric electrode, wherein the positive electrode is positive charge modified nitrogen-doped porous carbon, and the negative electrode is sulfide-modified nitrogen-doped porous carbon. According to the method, the shrimp and crab shells are used as precursors, a nitrogen source does not need to be additionally added, raw materials are easy to obtain, cost is low, large-scale production can be achieved, and the prepared electrode is large in adsorption capacity and high in efficiency.
