The invention relates to an 
anode material for a 
lithium-
sulfur rechargeable battery and a preparation method of the 
anode material. According to the specific method, 
biomass waste, namely a durian shell is adopted as a 
raw material, and after pre-
carbonization, 
potassium hydroxide activation and other methods are adopted, an 
activated carbon material with an ultrahigh specific surface area and alarge pore volume is prepared; and the 
activated carbon material is used as a carrier, and a fused 
diffusion method is further adopted to prepare a carbon / 
sulfur composite. It is shown by an electrochemical test that the first 
discharge specific capacity, under a 0.5C current, of an 
anode prepared from the carbon / 
sulfur composite with sulfur capacity of 60wt.% is 1,074.23mAhg<-1>; after 100 timesof circulation, the 
discharge specific capacity of the anode is still 724.74mAhg<-1>; and the carbon / sulfur composite anode material, which is prepared by using the 
biomass waste, namely the durian shell as the 
raw material, has the advantages of being high in sulfur capacity, good in 
chemical stability, high in specific capacity, excellent in rate capability, simple in preparation method and thelike and can be well applied to the 
lithium-sulfur rechargeable battery.
