The invention discloses a lithium-rich manganese-based anode material, a preparation method thereof and a lithium ion battery containing the anode material. A chemical formula of the lithium-enrichment manganese-based anode material is Li1+xMnyMzAwOr, wherein the M is at least one of Ni, Co, Al, Mg, Ti, Fe, Cu, Cr, Mo, Zr, Ru and Sn; the A is at least one of S, P, B and F; the x is larger than 0 and smaller than or equal to 1, the y is larger than 0 and smaller than or equal to 1, the z is larger than or equal to 0 and smaller than 1, the w is larger than or equal to 0 and smaller than or equal to 0.2, and the r is larger than or equal to 1.8 and smaller than or equal to 3. The lithium-enrichment manganese-based anode material is prepared by methods of oxalate coprecipitation, spray drying and high-temperature roasting. The lithium-enrichment manganese-based anode material disclosed by the invention overcomes agglomeration of a material prepared through an oxalate coprecipitation method; a prepared material is controllable in particle size, meets requirements of engineering indexes and can achieve the purpose that transition metal ions are evenly mixed at an atom level; the particle size of the prepared lithium-enrichment manganese-based anode material is 3 to 25mu m, and the lithium-rich manganese-based anode material has good rate capability and circulation performance at the same time; furthermore, the lithium-enrichment manganese-based anode material has the advantages of simple preparation technology, low cost and wide application prospect.
