The invention provides a sulfur-series anode material. The chemical formula is as indicated by formula (I) S<1-x>M or formula (II) S<1-x>M/C, wherein x is greater than 0 and less than 1; M is one or more of Se, Te, I, P, Bi and Sn. Compared with an existing sulfur anode material, the sulfur-series anode material can be used for effectively solving the problem that in the circulation process, an intermediate product of the sulfur anode material is dissolved, and excellent electrochemical performance is obtained. Meanwhile, the material can be applied to electrolyte of a conventional lithium ion battery, and the compatibility problem of a complete battery assembled with the material and other high-performance lithium ion battery electrode materials is further solved.
