A carbon-metal composite material which has improved conductivity, specific surface area, regularity, a shape which is easily controlled, and a process of preparing the same. The carbon-metal composite material which includes carbon and metal, has a sheet resistance of 8 mΩ/sq. or less under a pressure of 100 kgf/cm2, a specific surface area of 30 m2/g or greater, and shows an X-ray pattern having at least one peak at d-spacings of 6 nm or greater.
