A long-lasting antibacterial core-shell agent, a method for preparing a long-lasting antibacterial agent and method for preparing a solid media utilizing a long-lasting antibacterial core-shell agent. The long-lasting antibacterial core-shell agent comprises an antibacterial core composed of an antibacterial metal powder, a poorly soluble metal salt and a metal oxide; and an outer shell composed of a porous oxide. The solid media prepared utilizing the long-lasting antibacterial core-shell agent has the ability to resist ultraviolet damage, inhibits oxygen oxidation, slowly releases metal ions and thereby exhibits long-term release of antibacterial ions and longitudinal antibacterial uniformity.
