The invention dislcoses a cadmium trngstate-modified silver / silver iodide composite material, and a preparation method and application thereof. The composite material is prepared from cadmium trngstate and a silver / silver iodide material, wherein the silver / silver iodide material is loaded on the cadmium trngstate, and is formed by Ag nano-particles and silver iodide. The preparation method comprises preparation of silver iodide / cadmium trngstate and in situ photoreduction preparation of an Ag @ AgI / CdWO4 composite material. The composite material has the advantages of wide visible light absorption range, high absorption strength, high efficiency of photogenerated charge conduction and separation, good photocatalytic performance, high stability and photocorrosion resistance, and the like;the preparation method of the composite material has the advantages of easy control on reaction conditions, simple operation method, no use of any organic solvent, no secondary pollution, good environmental protection beneficit and the like; when the composite material is used for treating dye wastewater and antibiotic wastewater, the advantages of high removal rate, quick removal rate, convenientoperation, low cost, no secondary pollution, and the like are achieved.
