The invention discloses a synthetic method of a sepiolite/nano TiO2 composite material. According to the method, sepiolite and tetrabutyl titanate are taken as raw materials, and the sepiolite/nano TiO2 composite material is synthesized with an in-situ polymerization method. The method comprises the steps as follows: 1), the sepiolite, the tetrabutyl titanate and ethyl alcohol are mixed, stirred, dissolved and subjected to ultrasonic dispersion; 2), the temperature is raised gradually until the ethyl alcohol is volatilized thoroughly, hydrochloric acid and water are added, heating is performed continuously, and the water is volatilized, so that a dried solid is obtained; and 3), the dried solid is washed for a plurality of times and then heated and dried, a dried component is obtained, then the dried component is calcined, and powder, namely, the sepiolite/nano TiO2 composite material, is obtained. With the adoption of the method, the composite material which has a good formaldehyde-removing function can be prepared.
