The invention discloses a preparation method of 
cuprous sulfide powder and the 
cuprous sulfide powder. The preparation method of the 
cuprous sulfide powder comprises the following steps: allowing cuprous 
oxide and a sulfurizing agent solution to react and filtering to obtain a cuprous 
sulfide precursor; calcining the cuprous 
sulfide precursor in vacuum to obtain the cuprous 
sulfide powder. According to the preparation method of the cuprous sulfide powder, the cuprous 
oxide and the sulfuring agent react, the cuprous sulfide precursor is prepared by adopting a precipitate transformation method and is calcined in vacuum to prepare the cuprous sulfide powder. The method is rich in cheap raw materials, low in cost, simple in preparation process, mild in condition, good in 
controllability, high in production efficiency, easy to realize industrialization, free of 
pollution and wide in development prospect in the field of preparation of superfine powder; the prepared cuprous sulfide powder is high in purity, good in 
crystal form, good in 
dispersity, stable in structure, easy to coat, dope, sinter and the like, and applicable to the fields of solar batteries, 
seawater batteries, sensors, catalysts and the like.
