The invention relates to a nanometer needle-shaped SAPO-34 molecular sieve, as well as preparation and application thereof. A gel decondensation hydrothermal synthesis method is adopted and particularly comprises the following steps: (1) mixing an aluminum source, a phosphorus source, a silicon source, deionized water and a template agent, heating and stirring to obtain gel A; (2) adding excessive HF solution into the gel A, wherein the gel is decondensed into a solution at this moment; (3) performing hydrothermal crystallization: transferring the solution obtained in the step (2) into a polytetrafluoroethylene reaction kettle, performing high-temperature crystallization, rapidly cooling after the crystallization is completed, filtering and washing the obtained solid, drying and roasting to obtain the nanometer needle-shaped SAPO-34 molecular sieve. The preparation process is simple and easy to operate, and the molecular sieve has important application in methanol to olefin reaction; meanwhile, due to the special shape, the molecular sieve can serve as a carrier of catalyst active components and has potential industrial application prospect.
