The invention relates to a binder for a lithium ion battery compound pole piece, a preparation method for the binder, a compound pole piece, a battery core, and a lithium ion battery and belongs to the technical field of lithium ion batteries. The binder for the lithium ion battery compound pole piece comprises the flowing components in parts by weight: 0.5-1.5 parts of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, 100-150 parts of barium sulfate particles, 1-1.5 parts of a thickener, and 98.5-99 parts of water. According to the invention, the surface of the pole piece is coated with a layer of the binder, a diaphragm is arranged on the surface of the binder on the pole piece, and then hot-pressing compounding is performed, so that the pole piece and the diaphragm are bound together, and the absolute positioning of the pole piece and the diaphragm is realized, a malposition phenomenon between the pole piece and the diaphragm in a following assembling process can be avoided, and the safety of the lithium ion battery can be improved.
