A dual-modal information storage and anti-counterfeiting material, and its preparation method are provided. The dual-modal information storage and anti-counterfeiting material uses cadmium sulfide quantum dots (CdS QDs) as information storage material, and uses the controllable photocorrosion of CdS QDs to achieve dual-modal optical information storage and anti-counterfeiting applications. Firstly, the type of ligands and modification degree of CdS QDs are precisely controlled during the aqueous phase synthesise process, so as to effectively control the photocorrosion phenomenon under UV light irradiation. Subsequently, the CdS QDs are loaded in the hydrogel network, and they are also loaded on the substrates such as cloth and paper by spray coating, dip coating or 3D printing, and the information is stored by digital light patterning. Different from the photochromic function of traditional anti-counterfeiting material, the CdS QDs shows dual-modal patterning characteristics in a wide wavelength range.
