The invention provides a preparation method for synthesizing a Cu-SSZ-39 
molecular sieve based catalyst by using a one-
step method and application. By using the one-
step method, the Cu-SSZ-39 
molecular sieve based catalyst is synthesized through a double template; the 
copper load is controlled at 2.00-5.00 wt.% by controlling the input ratio of 
copper sulfate-tetraethylenepentamine to the organic template; and meanwhile, the silica-
alumina ratio of USY is controlled to reach the silica-
alumina ratio of 4.5-16.4 in the controlled product so that the Cu-SSZ-39 
molecular sieve based catalyst with higher degree of 
crystallization, excellent catalytic activity and hydrothermal stability; and the Cu-SSZ-39 molecular 
sieve based catalyst is suitable for the 
nitrogen oxide purification processes in diesel vehicle aftertreatment 
Urea-SCR 
system catalysts and fixed sources NH3-SCR. Compared with the existing synthetic method, the preparation method for synthesizing the Cu-SSZ-39 molecular 
sieve based catalyst by using the one-
step method, provided by the invention, has the advantages that the process is simple, repeated uses of an 
ammonium nitrate and 
copper salt solution ion exchanging and calcining process are avoided, and a defect that the traditional one-step synthetic method can only load an 
active component through the later 
ion exchanging process is overcome. By using the cheap template, the preparation method for synthesizing the Cu-SSZ-39 molecular 
sieve based catalyst by using the one-step method greatly reduces the production cost and is beneficial for industrial amplification applications.
