The invention relates to a preparation method of a carbon-coated tungsten sulfide hollow nanosphere with a shell layer with a sandwich structure, and belongs to the technical field of production of anano material. The preparation method comprises the steps of: mixing alcohol, deionized water, ammonium hydroxide, ethyl orthosilicate, resorcinol and formaldehyde to perform a reaction, obtaining a solid phase to dry, and after calcining in argon, etching by aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide to obtain a hollow mesoporous carbon nanosphere; and after dissolving tungsten chloride and thiourea solid in the deionized water, adding the hollow mesoporous carbon nanosphere, after carrying out ultrasonic dispersion, performing a hydrothermal reaction, and after obtaining a solid phase to dry, calcining in the argon so as to obtain the carbon-coated tungsten sulfide hollow nanosphere of which the shell layer has the sandwich structure. The preparation method disclosed by the invention has the characteristics of cheap process raw material, simple and environmental-friendly process, high yield and excellent performance; the prepared carbon-coated tungsten sulfide hollow nanosphere of which the shell layer has the sandwich structure can be applied as a lithium ion battery electrode material, a photocatalysis material or an electro-catalysis material.
