The invention relates to a silicon-carbon composite negative pole material preparation method and a lithium ion battery. The preparation method comprises putting nanometer silicon and graphite micro-powder into a ball mill, carrying out ball milling uniform dispersion in an organic solvent environment, carrying out vacuum drying, putting the dried mixture and asphalt into a cone-type mixer, carrying out coarse mixing, putting the mixed powder subjected to coarse mixing into a mechanical fusion machine, carrying out mechanical fusion, carrying out heat treatment in an inert gas protective atmosphere and carrying out cooling to obtain the silicon-carbon composite negative pole material. The preparation method carries out asphalt softening coating on nanometer silicon so that silicon particle and electrolyte direct contact is avoided, a capacity reduction rate is delayed, a lithium ion diffusion path is shortened, an electrode material electron conduction loss is avoided, and first charge-discharge efficiency, a charge-discharge electric capacity and cycle performances are improved. Before coating, nanometer silicon is dispersed through graphite micro-powder so that it is avoided that in asphalt coating, nanometer silicon aggregation causes local capacity excess and nanometer silicon is uniformly dispersed.
