The invention discloses a spherical 
porous silicon / carbon 
composite material as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The spherical 
porous silicon / carbon 
composite material is structurally characterized in that a SiOx / C matrix, 
graphite with 
small particle size and a conductive agent are dispersed in porous 
amorphous carbon, wherein the average particle 
diameter is 12-25mu m; the method comprises the following steps of carrying out first 
coating on a SiOx 
raw material with 
powder pitch, and performing heat treatment so as to obtain a SiOx / C material; then performing ball milling by use of a wet method so as to reduce the particle 
diameter of 
powder, adding a 
carbon source adhesive, the 
graphite with the 
small particle diameter and the conductive agent, and performing high-speed dispersion, thereby obtaining pulp; and finally performing 
spray granulation and 
sintering on the pulp, thereby obtaining the final spherical 
porous silicon / carbon 
composite material. According to the invention, SiOx is dispersed in 
cracking carbon, the 
graphite and the conductive agent, so that SiOx 
volume expansion during a charge / 
discharge process is buffered, and the conductibility is enhanced; by virtue of the porous structure, the 
imbibition rate and cycle performance of the material can be effectively improved; by virtue of bitumencarb 
coating and high-heat treatment performed in advance, SiOx is prevented from being directly contacted with an 
electrolyte, and furthermore, the stability and first efficiency of the 
silicon / carbon material are improved.
