The invention discloses a method for preparing monocrystal bismuth titanate nanosheet, which comprises the following steps: 1)according to a chemical reaction of Bi4Ti3O12, metering and weighing Bi2O3 and TiO2, and placing in a ceramic mortar, adding carbohydrate, grinding for 8-10 minutes in the ceramic mortar to obtain a mixture; 2)heating the obtained mixture until the mixture begins to combust, and obtaining the powder after completely combustion; and 3)washing the obtained power in the step 2) by using dilute nitric acid, removing the unreacted bismuth oxide and titanium oxide, washing to neutrality by using deionized water, and placing in a baking oven for drying to obtain the products monocrystal bismuth titanate nanosheet. The preparation method has the advantages of low temperature, saved energy, simple step, short reaction time within 10 minutes for whole combustion reaction, high efficiency, high crystallization degree of the synthesized monocrystal bismuth titanate nanosheet, and easy control of synthesis, equipment required by synthesis is simple, and a high-energy bowl mill and a high temperature furnace are not required.
