The invention relates to an absorption-photocatalysis double-function carbon absorption material and a preparation method thereof, which relate to a carbon absorption material and a preparation method thereof. The absorption-photocatalysis double-function carbon absorption material solves the problems in the prior carbon absorption material of poor phenol removal effect, poor recycling rate and low activity of photocatalyst, and is made of TiO2 particles and active carbon. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, a solution A is prepared; secondly, a solution B is prepared; thirdly, a precursor of the carbon absorption material is prepared by the sol-gel method; and fourthly, the precursor of the carbon absorption material is kept at a normal temperature, is aged, dried and grinded, is converted into a nitrogen environment, is heat-insulated for 1 hour after the temperature rises to between 180 and 220 DEG C, is heated until the temperature is between 450 and 550 DEG C and heat-insulated for 2 hours, and is cooled to the room temperature. The phenol removal rate of the product obtained is 3.7 to 6.7 times of that of the prior carbon absorption material; the recycling rate of the product is improved by 6 times; and the product has strong photocatalytic activity, and completely decomposes poisonous substances into nontoxic, harmless and flavorless substances in an enclosed environment.
