The invention relates to a preparation method for a formed catalyst for directly catalyzing N2O to decompose, and belongs to the technical field of environment protection catalytic materials and air pollution control. According to the catalyst, a compound material is used as a carrier to load metal oxide. The main active components are oxides of Zn and Ni, and one or two types from the oxides of Cu, Fe, Sr, La, Co, K, Na, Zr, Y or Ba are simultaneously loaded. The catalyst is characterized in that the compound material comprises two or more substances including clay, active carbon, bakelite powder, sesbania powder, special pseudo-boehmite powder, SiO2, TiO2, ZrO2, sandy soil and zinc oxide; the catalyst is columnar, clover-shaped or takes the shape of geranium nepalense sweet; the external diameter is 1-20 mm. The metal oxides accounts for 30-55% of the total weight of the catalyst, wherein the nickel oxide accounts for 1-5%, and the zinc oxide accounts for 30-45%. The catalyst can be widely used for removal and decomposing of N2O in a nitric plant, an adipic acid plant and other industrial process generating N2O.
