The invention discloses a preparation method of a tin sulfide material. A solvothermal method is adopted, dehydrate-stannous chloride is used as a tin source, the morphology and particle size of the synthetic material are controlled by controlling a sulfur source, the reaction temperature, reaction time, the solvent variety and the surfactant variety, and the SnS photocatalytic material with controllable morphology and high quality is prepared. The method is simple in preparation and easy to carry out, the yield is high, consumed time is short, cost is low, reaction conditions are mild, good development prospects are achieved, industrial production is easy to achieve, and the prepared material has high photocatalytic activity and has good industrial application prospects when serving as the photocatalytic material.
