The invention discloses a method and a device for uniformly cladding metallic silver on the surface of a carbon nano tube. The method comprises the steps of preprocessing the carbon nano tube, preparing a silver-ammonia solution and a chemical plating solution, and adopting the device provided by the invention to carry out chemical plating, wherein the device comprises a vacuum pump, a collection bottle, a quartz tube, an ultrasonic atomizer, a microwave-assisted heater, a microwave leakage prevention device and a carrier gas conveyor device; carrying out ultrasonic atomization on the two solutions, contacting and mixing the two atomized matters to react, repetitively washing powder to be neutral, and drying to obtain the carbon nano tube with the surface uniformly cladded by the metallic silver. The carbon nano tube is dispersed in spray droplets, so that the dispersibility of the carbon nano tube and silver plating is improved, the phenomenon of self-decomposition of the solution in a conventional chemical plating method, the generation of large-particle monomer silver and the occurrence of silver mirror reaction are avoided, the prepared cladding layer is uniform, and the sliver particle size is nano-scaled; the whole process is simple, the device is simple and convenient, convenient to operate, and energy-saving and environmental-friendly, and mass production can be realized.
