The invention discloses a preparation method and application of a double-carbon-layer-protected bismuth nanoparticle composite material, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, dispersing a bismuth source and an organic ligand in an organic solvent to obtain a uniform solution; s2, taking the uniform solution, and carrying out hydrothermal reaction to generate a Bi MOF precursor; s3, dispersing the Bi MOF precursor obtained in the step S3 into a Tris buffer solution, adding dopamine hydrochloride under violent stirring, and continuously stirring to obtain Bi MOF (at) PDA; and S4, respectively putting the Bi MOF (at) PDA obtained in the step S4 and a nitrogen-containing pore-forming agent into two quartz boats, and carrying out carbon thermal reduction treatment, so as to obtain the double-carbon-layer protected bismuth nanoparticle composite material. The overall synthesis method is simple, the utilization rate of active substances is high, the electrode material structure is stable, the number of active sites is large, and the rate and cycling stability of the potassium ion battery are better improved.
