The invention discloses a ferric aluminum silicon composite carbon-based electrode and application thereof in decoloration of wastewater. A preparation method for the ferric aluminum silicon composite carbon-based electrode comprises the following steps of: mixing aqueous solution of tetraethyl orthosilicate, ferric perchlorate and aluminum choride and ethanol to obtain mixed solution; putting a carbon-based material into the mixed solution, stirring, heating to 75 to 85 DEG C, and adding ammonia water, so that iron, silicon and aluminum are deposited on the carbon-based material; and after performing a heat-preserving reaction completely, taking the carbon-based material out, drying for the first time, washing, and drying again to obtain the ferric aluminum silicon composite carbon-basedelectrode. The ferric aluminum silicon composite carbon-based electrode is used as a cathode of an electro-Fenton system, so a Fenton reagent can be provided continuously at the cathode and performs a Fenton reaction with hydrogen peroxide effectively to generate hydroxyl free radicals with high oxidability to oxidize organic matters in the wastewater, and the decoloration effect of the wastewater is desirable. The electrode has a simple preparation process, is low in cost, has low requirement on using environment and can be used under the condition of neutral pH, and the catalytic efficiencyis far higher than that of ferric oxides s.
