The invention provides a method for preparing a MnO2/carbon composite material for a super-capacitor. The method includes the steps of step one, dissolving glucose or sucrose or fructose in deionized water, stirring until a settled solution is obtained, transferring the settled solution into a hydrothermal reaction kettle, performing centrifugation, water washing, alcohol washing and drying on an obtained polymeric pecursor solution to prepare monodisperse carbon spheres; step two, taking the monodisperse carbon spheres, performing heat treatment on the monodisperse carbon spheres in a NaOH solution, then performing centrifugation, water washing and alcohol washing on a mixture solution three times, conducting drying, and performing calcination treatment in vacuum or inert atmosphere; step three, using the carbon spheres experiencing modified treatment in the step two as a template, placing the template in a KMnO4 aqueous solution, stirring and aging at the room temperature, obtaining a sediment, performing centrifugation, water washing and alcohol washing on the sediment, performing drying in a vacuum oven, and obtaining CS@MnO2 coated powder. Obtained MnO2/carbon sphere composite powder is of a core-shell structure, the specific surface area of the powder can reach more than 778m<2>/g, the specific capacity of the powder can reach more than 439F/g, charge transfer resistance is lower than 2.1 omega, and the powder is a novel super-capacitor electrode material.
