The invention relates to a boron-doped lithium nickel cobaltate anode material. The chemical formula of the boron-doped lithium nickel cobaltate anode material is LiNiXCoYBZO2, wherein 0.7<X<0.9, 0.1<Y<0.3, 0<Z<0.1, and X+Y+Z=1. The preparation method of the boron-doped lithium nickel cobaltate anode material comprises the following steps: 1. proportionally mixing a compound containing nickel, cobalt and lithium and a compound containing boron; 2. in an air atmosphere, pretreating at 300-600 DEG C for 1-10 hours; 3. in an oxygen atmosphere, synthesizing at the high temperature of 700-850 DEG C for 3-15 hours; and 4. cooling to normal temperature, pulverizing, and screening to obtain the final product. In the boron-doped lithium nickel cobaltate anode material provided by the invention, boron is used instead of metal doping ions, thereby enhancing the first capacity, first discharging efficiency, cycle performance and safety of the material; and the method provided by the invention has the advantages of simple production technique, fewer steps, short production time, low energy consumption, no pollution and zero discharge, thereby being very suitable for industrial production.
