The invention discloses a hard carbon material for a power and energy-storage battery and a preparation method thereof, and aims to solve the technical problem of improving high-rate charge-discharge performance of lithium-ion batteries. The material is provided with a hard carbon matrix, and a coating is coated outside the hard carbon matrix; and the surface of the hard carbon matrix has a honeycomb opening structure. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: dipping, washing, dewatering and drying, presintering at low temperature, crushing, pyrolyzing, crushing and coating. Compared with the prior art, the hard carbon material has the reversible specific capacity of more than 450mAh/g, the first cycle columbic efficiency of over 81 percent, 0.2C 300-cycles capacity-retaining rate of over 97 percent at the temperature of 60 DEG C, and the 0.2C 300-cycles capacity-retaining rate of over 88 percent at the temperature of -30 DEG C, has the advantages of excellent lithium intercalation and deintercalation capability and cycling stability, and simple preparation process, and is applicable to the lithium ion battery cathode materials for lithium ion power batteries, various portable devices and electric tools.
