The invention provides a preparation method of a hollow silver phosphotungstate visible-light-induced photocatalyst, relates to a preparation method of the silver phosphotungstate visible-light-induced photocatalyst, and aims at solving the problems that the conventional silver phosphotungstate is prepared at a relatively low temperature, has low degree of crystallinity and poor stability, always generates relatively large crystals so that the specific surface area is small, and therefore, the photocatalytic activity is relatively low. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: 1, preparing a suspension turbid liquid; 2, preparing powder; and 3, roasting. The hollow silver phosphotungstate visible-light-induced photocatalyst prepared by the method has the characteristics that the specific surface area is large, a hollow structure is provided, and the visible-light catalytic activity is higher than that of common silver phosphotungstate and commercial Degussa P25. The preparation method provided by the invention is applied to preparation of the hollow silver phosphotungstate visible-light-induced photocatalyst.
