The invention discloses a preparation method of flake 
copper powder. The method comprises the steps of adopting water, 
copper salt, a complexing agent, a 
copper plating brightener, a dispersing agent,an 
antioxidant, 
nickel salt, a sublimable flake compound 
crystal template or a 
crystal template containing an acid compound or a 
crystal template containing a flake alkaline compound, and a reducingagent as raw materials; adopting a 
chemical plating method for plating copper on the surface of the compound crystal template until a copper 
ion is completely reacted; and after finishing reaction, carrying out separation, purification and a 
processing treatment process, and directly obtaining the flake copper 
powder without the need for ball milling. The preparation method of the flake copper 
powder provided by the invention has a series of advantages of low 
energy consumption, low environment 
pollution, simple production process, short process 
route, less large-scale production equipment investment, high production efficiency, low production cost, good product dispersibility and 
conductivity and the like, is suitable for large-scale production, solves the problem existed in a process forpreparing the flake copper powder through a ball milling method, and is good in industrial prospect.
