The invention relates to a nano silicon material with an amorphous/nanocrystalline composite structure. In the application of a lithium/sodium ion battery, after lithium/sodium is embedded into a crystalline silicon material for the first time, a composite structure of an amorphous region (silicon-lithium alloy) and a crystalline region (not embedded with lithium) is formed, and volume expansion and structural change are generated; after lithium/sodium removal, volume shrinkage causes structure collapse, i.e., silicon particle fracture and pulverization. In order to provide enough lithium/sodium embedding space in advance and inhibit the volume change of lithium/sodium embedding/removal for the first time, the invention provides an amorphous/nanocrystalline composite structure and a controllable preparation method thereof, i.e., a nano silicon material with the amorphous/nanocrystalline composite structure is prepared by adopting a spark discharge and high-energy ball milling combined process, the amorphous region surrounds the nanocrystalline, the crystal face orientation of the nanocrystalline is randomly distributed, the proportion range of the amorphous region is controllable, and the amorphous region belongs to an isotropic material. In the application of lithium and sodium ion batteries, the structure can effectively relieve the problems of material fracture and pulverization caused by silicon material expansion/shrinkage due to embedding/removal of lithium/sodium, so that the cycle performance of the silicon negative electrode is improved.
