The invention relates to a production method of a silicon dioxide aerogel functional material, and belongs to the technical field of aerogel. According to the production method of the silicon dioxideaerogel functional material, through carbonization treatment, the silicon dioxide aerogel functional material is produced, not only can an original nano-porous network structure be maintained, but also the silicon dioxide aerogel functional material has a plurality of excellent property such as a high specific surface area, low mass density and nanoscale continuous pores, and the mechanical performance is good; and montmorillonoid is a two-dimensional molecular-sieve-like porous substance, due to the fact that the montmorillonoid has performance of a large specific surface area, large adsorption capability and the like, the montmorillonoid is applied to a wide variety of aspects of adsorption, hydrogen storage, catalysis, bioseparation, electron devices, chromosorb supports and the like, through carbonization treatment, the swelling capability of a layered structure and exchangeable performance of positive ions of the montmorillonoid are used for inserting the inorganic positive ions into layers of the montmorillonoid, and the layers of the montmorillonoid are distracted to form two-dimensional pore channels with openings, so that the adsorption capability and the mechanical performance of the silicon dioxide aerogel functional material are improved.
