The invention discloses a composite modified montmorillonite photocatalysis material and a preparation method thereof. The photocatalysis material comprises sodium montmorillonite, an organic intercalator, an alcohol solution of butyl titanate, an alkaline solution, a zinc salt, distilled water and ethylene glycol. The method comprises the following steps: organically modifying the sodium montmorillonite with a long-chain alkyl group ammonium salt as the organic intercalator to obtain organic pillared montmorillonite, dropwise adding the alcohol solution of butyl titanate to the alkaline solution, performing stirring and reacting to obtain an intermediate, centrifuging and washing the intermediate, adding the washed intermediate to a nitric acid solution, stirring the intermediate and thenitric acid solution to dissolve the intermediate, adding the above organic montmorillonite suspension, and filtering, washing, drying and milling the obtained product to obtain the nanometer titaniumdioxide interlayer-loaded modified organic montmorillonite. The method has the advantages of simplicity in operation, low cost, and realization of energy saving and environment protection through omitting high-temperature sintering and ball milling processes due to physical and chemical reactions involved in the whole preparation process being low-temperature reactions.
