The invention provides a Co3O4 nanobelt array electrode. The electrode is used as an anode for carrying out a chlorination reaction. The Co3O4 nanobelt is deposited by adopting a hydrothermal method on a titanium mesh (or a titanium sheet, a cooper sheet, a copper net, a carbon net, carbon cloth, carbon fibers, graphene, FTO glass and the like) substrate; and after annealing is carried out, namelythe Co3O4 nanobelt is obtained; and firstly, a precursor is formed, and the Co3O4 nanobelt array is formed by heat treatment. The Co3O4 nanobelt array electrode is simple to prepare, the cost is low,the activity is high, the stability is high, and the application prospect is considerable; and the step is simple, operation is convenient, and practicability is high.
