The invention discloses core-shell structure composite 
powder and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method specifically comprises the steps that deionized water is used for 
wetting insoluble 
metal salt, an ice 
coating layer is formed on the surface of the 
metal salt, low-temperature ball milling is conducted, nano 
metal salt-ice mixed 
powder is obtained, and wet nano metal salt is obtained after ice melts; adding wet nano metal salt, 
powder particles and a gelling agent into deionized water, and fully stirring and dispersing to obtain a gel suspension; carrying out 
solid-liquid separation on the gel suspension, and 
drying to obtain the nano metal salt coated on the surfaces of the powder particles; and under the 
reducing atmosphere, the obtained nano metal salt wrapping the surfaces of the powder particles is subjected to heating 
reduction treatment, the gelling agent is removed, and the composite powder of the core-shell structure is obtained. 
Metal salt is subjected to low-temperature brittle ball milling to form nano-particles, gel suspension is prepared with the assistance of a gelatinizing agent, powder particles coated with nano-metal salt are obtained through 
drying, and composite powder with highly uniform phase distribution and good 
dispersity is obtained through heating reduction.
