The invention discloses a gel polymer binder for a lithium sulfur battery electrode material and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) weighing 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol and polyethylene glycol, uniformly mixing, introducing N2 to deoxygenize, adjusting temperature, keeping constant temperature, adding a catalyst to accelerate a polymerization reaction, extracting a target product 1,3-dichloro-2-propyl alcohol polyethylene glycol ether, and then adjusting the pH value of the solution with an alkaline solution; (2) weighing a sulfosalt, completely dissolving the sulfosalt in distilled water, adjusting temperature, keeping constant temperature, and adding elemental sulfur to prepare a polysulfide salt; (3) mixing a product 1,3-dichloro-2-propyl alcohol polyethylene glycol ether in the step (1) and a product polysulfide salt in the step (2), adjusting temperature, keeping constant temperature, taking out a gel-like substance, and rotatably evaporating at a certain temperature to obtain a gel polymer binder for a lithium sulfur battery. The gel polymer binder prepared by the invention has the characteristics of easiness in operation, good bonding effect, high electrode active material utilization rate, good battery rate capability and the like.
