The invention relates to a preparing method for a 
nickel tin-carbon-
silicon electrode material. According to the material, 
silicon oxide with the high specific surface area is used as a 
raw material, mechanically mixed with 
magnesium, reduced in a high temperature thermal mode, treated in an acid mode, and coated with a conducting 
polymer, 
nickel oxide and 
tin oxide are deposited, and tabletting and high-temperature thermal reducing are carried out, so that the 
nickel tin-carbon-
silicon electrode material is obtained; the specific surface area of 
silicon oxide is larger than 700 m<2> / g, and 
silicon oxide is one of 
silicon oxide nanometer 
powder, silicon oxide nanospheres, silicon oxide SBA-15, silicon oxide MCM-41 and silicon oxide KIT-6; the conducting 
polymer is one of 
polyaniline, 
polypyrrole, 
polythiophene and 
polyacetylene; the 
molar ratio of silicon oxide to 
magnesium is 1:(2-4), the 
molar ratio of silicon oxide to the conducting 
polymer precursor is 1:(1-5), the 
molar ratio of 
nickel oxide to the conducting polymer precursor is 1:(1-20), and the molar ratio of 
nickel oxide to 
tin oxide is 3:(1-8). The 
composite material has the advantages of being stable in structure and good in 
conductivity, having high specific capacity and excellent cycle performance when being used in a negative pole of a 
lithium battery, and having a good application prospect in the field of the batteries.
