The invention discloses controllable crystalline form titanium dioxide and a graphite alkene composite material with high efficient photoelectricity activity and a preparation method thereof. The composite material is formed by mixing TiO2 powder and graphite alkene or scattering the TiO2 powder in oxidized graphite alkene dispersing agents to perform hydro-thermal reaction. The mass ratio of TiO2 powder and graphite or graphite alkene is 1:1 to 500:1. The preparation method is simple, low in cost and environmental-friendly. The controllable crystalline form titanium dioxide and a graphite alkene composite material with high efficient photoelectricity activity can control crystalline form of the obtained TiO2 according to the ratio of alcohol and water or amount of titanium sources. When the amount is amplified, the controllable crystalline form titanium dioxide and a graphite alkene composite material with high efficient photoelectricity activity have good performances. After the graphite alkene is composed, photocatalysis is greatly improved. All obtained products are applied to fields of dye sensitization solar cells, catalysts, lithium ion cells, sensing and the like.
