The invention discloses a self-filling slow-release gel material as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and the self-filling slow-release gel material provided by the invention comprises a gel base material and a
moisture absorption compound loaded on the gel base material, wherein the gel base material contains a hydrophilic
polymer, lignosulfonate and an optional photo-thermal conversion material. The self-
irrigation slow-release type gel material can effectively collect
moisture in the
atmosphere, has the characteristic of high water
absorption rate, shows the characteristic of rapid
adsorption kinetics and the characteristic of relatively high water
absorption rate, can load nutritional ingredients on the gel base material, and can be applied to the process of
clean water production or soil layer construction in an
arid region, so that the soil layer construction efficiency is improved, and the soil layer construction efficiency is improved. The device can continuously provide
irrigation for plants by taking air as a
water source, realizes the functions of self-
water supply and slow-release fertilization, solves the problems of
water resources and difficult
plant survival in
arid, semi-
arid and seasonal lacking areas, and has potential commercial value and application prospect.
