The invention discloses a preparation method of a copper-containing metal composite oxide photocatalytic material. The preparation method comprises the following steps: putting copper and zirconium into a vacuum electric arc furnace, performing vacuum pumping, then charging argon, starting smelting, keeping for 60-90 seconds after copper and zirconium are smelted, cooling to obtain an alloy molten ingot, turning over, repeating for 4 to 6 times, putting the alloy molten ingot into rapid melt quenching and melt spinning equipment, performing vacuum pumping, then charging argon, performing smelting by adopting a magnetic induction heating mode to form a melt after completely melting, opening an air pressure valve, spraying the melt on the surface of a copper roller which rapidly rotates to obtain a continuous amorphous alloy ribbon, and putting the amorphous alloy ribbon into a ceramic cup, wherein the ceramic cup comprises a ceramic base, the ceramic base is connected with a ceramic cup cover, the ceramic cup cover is provided with an air inlet hole, an observation view window and a graphite electrode, and the ceramic base is in sliding connection with an ignition graphite electrode; and connecting one end of the amorphous alloy ribbon with the graphite electrode, charging oxygen, then pushing the ignition graphite electrode to the amorphous alloy ribbon, and enabling the ignition graphite electrode to be in contact with the amorphous alloy ribbon to generate electric sparks for igniting an alloy strip material.
