The invention discloses a nano-silver composite material for drinking water disinfection and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of environment function materials. According to the composite material disclosed by the invention, polypropylene fiber is used as a carrier; the composite material is rich in ultra-large pore structures; the porosity factor is 30 to 80%; the apertures are 1 to 20mu m; the inner walls of pores are loaded with nano-silver particles; nano-silver is evenly distributed; the content is 0.1 to 5wt%; and the particle sizes are 5 to 80nm. The preparation method of the nanocomposite material can be summarized as follows: fully mixing polypropylene fiber with a solution containing silver ions and a surface active agent, stirring for a period of time, then taking out and drying the mixture, adding the mixture into a NaBH4 solution, after reacting for a period of time, taking out the mixture, using deionized water to wash away the residual surface active agent, and drying to obtain the composite material. The nanocomposite material disclosed by the invention is simple and easy in preparation, soft and light in texture, easy to carry and able to be used as a filler, and the material is high in disinfection efficiency, stable in nano-silver combination and low in wastage rate, does not generate disinfection by-products, and has obvious advantages compared with existing water body disinfection materials.
