The invention discloses a preparation method of a graphene material. The preparation method includes the following steps that (1) after graphite and alkali metal are evenly mixed, vacuumizing and heat treatment are carried out, so that alkali metal intercalation graphite is obtained; (2) the alkali metal intercalation graphite is collected to be added into molten ionic liquid, after even stirring is conducted, the mixture is placed into an ultrasonic pulverizer, ultrasonic treatment is performed, and accordingly graphene suspension liquid is obtained; (3) the graphene suspension liquid is filtered, organic solvent for filtering residues is collected for washing and filtering, then, deionized water is used for conducting repeated washing and filtering until an eluate is neutral, filter objects are dried, and hence the graphene material is obtained. The invention further discloses the graphene material obtained through the preparation method. According to the graphene material and the preparation method thereof, the graphite and the alkali metal are mixed to be subjected to heat treatment first, the alkali metal intercalation graphite is obtained and then is dispersed into the ionic liquid, and after ultrasonic treatment is completed, the graphene material which is complete in laminated structure, high in monolayer rate and good in dispersity can be obtained; the method is simple, cost is low, efficiency is high, and the graphene material and the preparation method thereof are suitable for industrial production.
