The invention provides
coke and a preparation method thereof, a negative
electrode material and a
lithium ion battery. According to the
coke provided by the invention, the
hydrogen element content is H (%), the
oxygen element content is O (%), the high-temperature
weight loss ratio at 1200 DEG C is V (%), and V * O / H is more than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 6. In the application, the content of the
oxygen element and the content of the
hydrogen element meet the condition that V * O / H is more than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 6 when being compared with the high-temperature
weight loss ratio of the
coke, so that the coking depth of the coke can be regulated and controlled, and the difficulty of graphitization can be reduced while the coke maintains relatively good
processing performance, so that the obtained negative
electrode material is few in structure
grain boundary defect and high in capacity; and the
structural stability of the negative
electrode material in the high-rate charge-
discharge process is improved, so that the rate performance is improved.
