The invention discloses a spherical porous silicon/carbon composite material as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The spherical porous silicon/carbon composite material is structurally characterized in that a SiOx/C matrix, graphite with small particle size and a conductive agent are dispersed in porous amorphous carbon, wherein the average particle diameter is 12-25mu m; the method comprises the following steps of carrying out first coating on a SiOx raw material with powder pitch, and performing heat treatment so as to obtain a SiOx/C material; then performing ball milling by use of a wet method so as to reduce the particle diameter of powder, adding a carbon source adhesive, the graphite with the small particle diameter and the conductive agent, and performing high-speed dispersion, thereby obtaining pulp; and finally performing spray granulation and sintering on the pulp, thereby obtaining the final spherical porous silicon/carbon composite material. According to the invention, SiOx is dispersed in cracking carbon, the graphite and the conductive agent, so that SiOx volume expansion during a charge/discharge process is buffered, and the conductibility is enhanced; by virtue of the porous structure, the imbibition rate and cycle performance of the material can be effectively improved; by virtue of bitumencarb coating and high-heat treatment performed in advance, SiOx is prevented from being directly contacted with an electrolyte, and furthermore, the stability and first efficiency of the silicon/carbon material are improved.
