The invention relates to the fields of in-situ growth, morphology and density regulation of titanium dioxide-based metal oxide catalysts, environmental catalytic purification, oxidation film formation, nano-materials and nanotechnology, and concretely relates to an in-situ preparation method of a titanium dioxide-based metal oxide composite nano-catalyst material. A metal oxide seed layer directlygrows on the surface of a metal substrate by using a liquid-phase plasma discharge technology, the metal substrate can be in any shape, a nano-material directly grows on the surface of the seed layerby combining hydrothermal and ion exchange processes, and surface modification is carried out. The prepared titanium dioxide-based metal oxide catalyst material has the advantages of strong film-substrate binding force, good crystallinity, large active area, uniform material size, uniform growth distribution, adjustable morphology and high catalytic activity, and can be applied to the fields of photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants, automobile tail gas treatment, denitration and desulfurization treatment, industrial waste gas treatment, CO catalytic oxidation and related environment catalytic purification.
