The invention relates to a porous silicon/carbon composite negative electrode material in-situ synthesized by taking porous polymer microspheres as a template, a preparation method and a lithium ion battery. The preparation process comprises the following steps of: adding porous polymer microspheres into water, heating and stirring to obtain a suspension solution; adding a silicon source into the suspension solution to obtain a mixed solution; filtering the mixed solution, washing the mixed solution with deionized water and drying the mixed solution in sequence, then adding a reducing agent, and conducting grinding and mixing to obtain an intermediate product A; treating the intermediate product A through a thermal reduction process to obtain an intermediate product B; and carrying out acid pickling on the intermediate product B, washing with deionized water, filtering, and drying to obtain a final product. Compared with the prior art, a carbon layer obtained through in-situ compounding can better improve the electrical conductivity, the cycling stability, the charge-discharge efficiency, the rate capability and other electrochemical properties of a silicon negative electrode, and the unique micro-nano pores reserve a lithium-intercalation expansion space for silicon and reduces the absolute volume change of the composite material in the charge-discharge process.
