The invention discloses a cordierite-aluminium borate whisker composite, a preparation method and application thereof. Raw materials of the method comprise borax, aluminium ammonium sulfate, sodium sulfate and cordierite. The method specifically includes: step one, preparing a borax solution and an aluminium ammonium sulfate solution under room temperature; step two, slowly dropwise adding the borax solution into the aluminium ammonium sulfate solution, conducting standing overnight, conducting water washing and filtering for multiple times, and conducting drying, so as to obtain a dried product; step three, mixing the dried product with sodium sulfate, and conducting uniform grinding, so as to obtain a mixture; step four, burying cordierite in the mixture, and conducting mixing, heating and natural cooling; and step five, boiling the product obtained in the step four in a boiling water bath until sodium sulfate remained on the surface is completely dissolved, and then conducting cooling, washing and drying. The cordierite-aluminium borate whisker composites of the invention have the advantages of big specific surface, good mechanical property and chemical stability, efficient filtering effect on particles in the automobile exhaust.
