The invention relates to the technical field of building materials, and aims to provide a preparation method of a manganese phthalocyanine modified oxhorn-shaped carbon-based catalyst. The preparationmethod comprises the following steps: calcining a mixture of ammonium bromide and melamine to obtain carbon nitride, and pyrolyzing in a nitrogen atmosphere; and cleaning and drying the product to obtain the oxhorn-shaped carbon-based catalyst; dispersing the manganese phthalocyanine modified oxhorn-shaped carbon-based catalyst into an N-N-dimethylformamide solution, performing ultrasonic treatment, adding manganese phthalocyanine molecules, performing ultrasonic treatment, stirring, cleaning and drying to obtain the manganese phthalocyanine modified oxhorn-shaped carbon-based catalyst. The product provided by the invention has rich porous structure, high specific surface area, high content of pyridine nitrogen and pyrrole nitrogen active sites and good conductivity, and is an efficient cathode catalyst. The carbon-based catalyst with the horn-shaped structure has a tip effect to enrich charges under the action of an electric field, so that the efficient reduction reaction of CO2 is promoted. Manganese single atoms in phthalocyanine manganese molecules are used as active sites, so that the reaction energy barrier of reducing CO2 into an intermediate product COOH * is reduced, theconversion reaction of CO2 into a CO gas product is promoted, and the Faraday efficiency is high.
