The invention belongs to the technical field of photocatalysts, and in particular relates to a composite photocatalytic material of carbon nitride and bismuth oxyhalide and a preparation method of thecomposite photocatalytic material. The composite photocatalytic material provided by the invention is provided with a layered structure in which carbon nitride is denoted as g-C3N4, bismuth oxyhalideis denoted as BiOXaYb, wherein X and Y represent Cl, Br or I, X is not equal to Y, and the sum of a and b is 1; according to the preparation method, a precursor of g-C3N4 is placed in a muffle furnace to be calcined to obtain g-C3N4, then g-C3N4 is mixed with bismuth nitrate pentahydrate, a surfactant and polyols; two of potassium chloride, potassium bromide and potassium iodide solutions are added; the pH value of the mixed solution is adjusted; an obtained sample is subjected to suction filtration or centrifugation, washed to neutrality, dried, and ground to prepare the composite photocatalytic material of g-C3N4 and BiOXaYb. The composite material has the characteristic of high-efficiency visible light response, and can efficiently catalyze the degradation of emerging organic pollutants represented by bisphenol A in sewage (waste) water under visible light conditions. The preparation method provided by the invention is simple in process, easy to operate, high in output, low in energy consumption, mild in preparation conditions and environmentally-friendly.
