The invention belongs to the technical field of building coatings, and provides an intelligent building coating for purifying air and a preparation method of the intelligent building coating. According to the method, firstly, titanium dioxide, polyurethane and large-piece-diameter mica powder are assembled for forming spherical particles, and then the spherical particles are combined with an acrylic emulsion, cellulose, organic pigment, a penetrating agent, an organic liquid, an antifreezing agent and a mildew preventive, so that the building coating is prepared. Compared with a coating prepared by a conventional method, the intelligent building coating prepared by the preparation method disclosed by the invention is provided with the nano titanium dioxide and the organic pigment which areuniformly dispersed in the coating and are firmly fixed, so that the coloring is stable, an excellent exterior decoration effect is achieved, and the titanium dioxide does not fall off. The buildingcoating has excellent photocatalytic activity, can capture pollutants in the air and degrades the pollutants, and thus has a remarkable effect of purifying atmospheric air.
