The invention discloses an electrolytic cathode containing a titanium boride-carbon coating, and a preparation method thereof. The electrolytic cathode is characterized in that: a coating is coated on the surface of the electrolytic cathode, wherein the coating comprises components of, by mass: 20 to 22% of TiB2, 15 to 20% of epoxy resin, 24 to 27% of diethylene triamine, 0.3 to 0.8% of carbon fiber, and balance of graphite powder. The preparation method of the aluminum electrolytic cathode comprises steps that: the materials are sufficiently mixed and uniformly coated on the surface of the electrolytic cathode; the coating is heated from normal temperature to 150 DEG C, such that the coating is cured, and the electrolytic cathode containing the titanium boride-carbon coating is obtained.According to the invention, good wettability of aluminum liquid and the electrolytic cathode is utilized, such that aluminum oxide deposition is not easy to be left on the surface of the electrolyticcathode. Therefore, deposition or crusting is not easy to occur, current is uniformly distributed, disturbance of magnetic fields to the aluminum liquid is reduced, current efficiency is improved, energy consumption is reduced, the service life of an electrolyte tank is prolonged, and aluminum liquid level and polar pitch can be appropriately reduced. With the electrolytic cathode provided by theinvention, an average working voltage and a secondary reaction probability of the aluminum electrolyte tank are reduced, aluminum electrolytic production is improved, and the quality of aluminum products is improved.
