The invention discloses a preparation method of a high-entropy ceramic material with good light absorption performance, the preparation method comprises the following steps: taking any five of CuO, MnO2, Fe2O3, Cr2O3, Co3O4, TiO2, ZnO and MgO powder as raw materials, carrying out ball-milling mixing, drying and grinding, then carrying out high-temperature calcination in an air atmosphere, and then cooling and grinding to obtain high-entropy ceramic with a spinel structure. The high-entropy ceramic is prepared by combining a mechanical wet grinding method and a solid-phase synthesis method, metal elements can be sufficiently and uniformly mixed, the method has the advantages of simple preparation technology, high repeatability, high production efficiency, suitability for industrial production and the like, and the prepared high-entropy ceramic is single in phase, high in purity, small in particle size and uniform in element distribution, the material has high solar energy absorptivity and good thermal stability, and can ensure the photo-thermal conversion efficiency of a solar energy absorbing material as a solar energy absorbent.
