The invention discloses a preparation method of a lithium-sulfur battery electrode material, which comprises the following steps: adding hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide into absolute methanol, carrying out ultrasonic treatment, adding carbon nanotubes and cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, and carrying out ultrasonic treatment to obtain a solution A; adding 2-methylimidazole into an absolute methanolsolution, carrying out ultrasonic treatment to obtain a transparent solution B, adding the solution A into the solution B, conducting stirring, centrifuging, filtering, and drying to obtain a productI; adding the product I into an absolute ethyl alcohol solution, carrying out ultrasonic stirring, then adding nickel nitrate hexahydrate, carrying out ultrasonic treatment, and then conducting stirring, filtering and drying to obtain a product II; putting the product II into a tubular furnace, and conducting calcining for 2.5-3 hours in a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain a product NiCo(O) / CNTs; andadding NiCo(O) / CNTs into a high-pressure reaction kettle with a polytetrafluoroethylene lining, then adding sublimed sulfur, carrying out high-temperature reaction, and conducting cooling to obtain the material Ni-Co(O) / CNTs / S. The electrode material Ni-Co(O) / CNTs / S provided by the invention has excellent rate capability, and has small discharge capacity loss after 200 cycles.
