The invention discloses a utilization method of a waste lithium ion battery anode carbon material. The method comprises the step of compounding a recycled carbon material separated from a waste lithium ion battery with sulfur to prepare a lithium-sulfur battery cathode material; and the specific steps are as follows: discharging the waste lithium ion battery, disassembling, making adhesive failure and peeling in the water, removing impurities of ferric iron source, activating, and compounding with elemental sulfur, and finally manufacturing the carbon sulfur compound anode material for a lithium sulfur battery. A recycling scheme of taking recycled carbon material of the waste lithium ion battery as the raw material to prepare the high-performance lithium-sulfur battery compound anode material realizes the high-economic additional value recycling of the waste lithium ion battery negative electrode carbon material, is high in recycling efficiency, clean and environment-friendly; the prepared carbon sulfur compound anode material is strong in sulfur absorbing capacity, and excellent in rate performance and cycle performance.
