The present invention relates to an organophosphorus hybrid alpha-ZrP flame-retardant material and a preparation method thereof, alpha-ZrP is used as a substrate, a small molecule amine is used for supporting in advance to reduce alpha-ZrP inter-laminate force and increase interlayer spacing, then a silane coupling agent is inserted between layers, the small molecule amine for supporting in advance is removed by heat treatment, and the organophosphorus hybrid alpha-ZrP flame-retardant material can be prepared by the effect of formation of chemical bonding of a terminal group of the silane coupling agent and organophosphorus, wherein the initial decomposition temperature of the organophosphorus hybrid alpha-ZrP is 340-450 DEG C, the interlayer spacing is 1.60-2.50nm, the grafting ratio of the silane coupling agent is 6 to 18%, and the organophosphorus content is 1 to 15%. The organophosphorus hybrid alpha-ZrP flame-retardant material has high thermal stability, grafting ratio, interlayer spacing and organophosphorus content, has stronger nonpolar organic substance affinity, can be uniformly dispersed in a hydrophobic organic polymer material, may be added into most polymer materials (PET, PBT, PP, and the like) processed by melting for e preparation of flame-retardant materials, and has excellent flame retardant properties.
