Monodisperse polystyrene microspheres are self-assembled on a conductive surface of FTO glass by vertical deposition method to prepare three-dimensional ordered photonic crystal opal template; the three-dimensional ordered photonic crystal opal template is immersed in a solution containing rhodium source, titanium source and strontium source, and is then calcined to prepare a rhodium doped strontium titanate inverse opal material; and the rhodium doped strontium titanate inverse opal material is added to water containing pollutants, and is then subjected to illumination and/or ultrasonic treatment to complete the removal of the pollutants in the water. The three-dimensional ordered macroporous rhodium doped strontium titanate inverse opal material may be applied in the field of photocatalysis. Under the action of external force, a built-in electric field formed by the spontaneous polarization of the material may effectively separate the photo-induced carriers, which may thus enhance the photocatalytic performance and improve the photocatalytic efficiency.
