The invention relates to a high-impermeability cement-based composite material and a method for preparing the same. The high-impermeability cement-based composite material comprises, by weight, 20-30parts of 525 white cement, 40-60 parts of quartz sand, 18-20 parts of titanium dioxide powder, 10-12 parts of fly ash, 5-15 parts of chitosan nanogel, 3-5 parts of polyacrylate emulsion, 1-10 parts ofpitchstone vitrified micro-spheres, 0.5-2 parts of PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) celluloses, 6-8 parts of ionic liquid, 10-12 parts of crop straw powder, 3-6 parts of clay, 3-5 parts of diatomaceous earth,3-5 parts of maleic anhydride, 1-3 parts of whiskers, 3-6 parts of silane coupling agents, 0.5-2 parts of cellulose ether, 0.3-2 parts of redispersible latex powder, 0.1-3 parts of superplasticizers,0.5-2 parts of inorganic pigment and 60-70 parts of water. The method includes preparing composite materials from the maleic anhydride, the clay, the diatomaceous earth and the PVA celluloses; mixingand stirring the composite materials and other raw materials with one another to obtain the high-impermeability cement-based composite material which is a product.
