The invention discloses a porous carbon microsphere with the surface covered with graphene, and a preparing method and application of the porous carbon microsphere. The polymer porous microsphere with the surface provided with the amination perssad serves as a template, the polymer microsphere is fully soaked in a sulfonation graphene water solution and dried, the sulfonation graphene and the polymer microsphere are combined, the polymer porous microsphere with the surface covered with sulfonation graphene is obtained and is carbonized at a high temperature in the protective atmosphere, and a target product, namely the porous carbon microsphere with the surface covered with graphene is obtained. The diameter of the target product is in the controllable range of 5 nm to 1,000 microns, a porous structure is achieved, the aperture is in the controllable range of 5 nm to 100 nm, a very large specific area is achieved, a very high electron transfer rate and good electrical conductivity are presented, the porous carbon microsphere can be widely applied to many fields such as catalyst loads, lithium ion batteries, supercapacitors, adsorption, sea water desalination and sensing, the preparing technology is simple, controllability of the reaction process is high, and industrial large-scale production is facilitated.
