The invention discloses a solid chlorine dioxide sustained-release material and a preparation method thereof, raw materials comprise sodium chlorite, a solid acid, a carrier material, a coating agentand auxiliary agents; the carrier material is silicon dioxide aerogel micro powder; and the auxiliary agents include an accelerator, a stabilizer, and a binder. The solid chlorine dioxide sustained-release material can realize a controllable release rate of chlorine dioxide by silicon dioxide aerogel micro powder loading, polymer coating and accelerator adjustment, and has more excellent air purification effect; the safety, long-term stability and stability of the chlorine dioxide released by the solid chlorine dioxide sustained-release material can be realized by controlling of the mass transfer of a chemical reaction process for producing the chlorine dioxide; the solid chlorine dioxide sustained-release material product prepared by the method is convenient to use, can effectively removeair pollutants (such as formaldehyde), deodorizes (H2S), and sterilizes, air is purified, and the solid chlorine dioxide sustained-release material product is safe and environmentally-friendly, is stable and reliable in production process, high in efficiency and low in cost, and has a good market prospect.
