The invention relates to a method for preparing continuous SiO2 / nano-metal aerogel fibers with a catalysis performance through finally loading a nano-metal. The method comprises the following steps: processing silicate or silanol sol to prepare a spinning stock solution; adding an acidic solution to a coagulation tank to form a coagulation bath; and injecting the spinning stock solution to the coagulation bath, carrying out reaction wet spinning to obtain orthosilicic acid / silicate fibers, reeling the orthosilicic acid / silicate fibers, ageing the reeled orthosilicic acid / silicate fibers, washing the aged orthosilicic acid / silicate fibers with deionized water until neutrality, immersing the neutral orthosilicic acid / silicate fibers in a metal salt solution, taking out the immersed fibers, removing a solvent on the surface of the orthosilicic acid / silicate fibers, immersing the obtained fibers in a reducing agent, washing the obtained fibers with deionized water until the fibers are neutral, displacing the fibers with deionized water or ethanol, and drying the displaced fibers to obtain the continuous SiO2 / nano-metal aerogel fibers. The method has the advantages of cheap and easily available raw materials, simple reaction process and good spinnability, and the aerogel fibers obtained in the invention have the advantages of abundant holes, high specific surface area, high temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and adjustable specific surface area and nano-metal load capacity.
