An air sterilizing device has a casing, a wheel disc covered with microporous structures, a blower, and a sterilizing module. The casing has an air inlet and an air outlet. The blower located in the casing introduces the external air from the air inlet, and the external air is filtered and sterilized by the wheel disc and the sterilizing module. The filtered and sterilized air is discharged from the air outlet. The sterilizing module locates next to the wheel disc for sterilizing the air flowing through the sterilizing module and also for sterilizing the wheel disc by the relative rotation between the wheel disc and the sterilizing module. Bacteria and viruses attached to the wheel disc are eliminated, and the filtration and sterilization functions of the wheel disc are maintained. The efficacy and the efficiency of the air sterilizing device are therefore improved.
