The invention discloses a preparation method of a titanium dioxide/nickel oxide double-shell hollow sphere. The preparation method includes the steps: (1) mixing tetrabutyl orthosilicate, ammonia water and absolute ethyl alcohol, heating mixture and separating, washing, drying and grinding products to obtain spherical silica; (2) mixing the spherical silica, the absolute ethyl alcohol, acetonitrile and the ammonia water, adding tetra-n-butyl titanate and separating, washing, drying, grinding and calcining the products to obtain spherical silica/titanium dioxide; (3) etching the spherical silica/titanium dioxide, centrifuging, washing, drying and grinding the products to obtain a titanium dioxide hollow sphere; (4) mixing the titanium dioxide hollow sphere and nickel nitrate hexahydrate solution, performing hydrothermal reaction and performing suction filtration, washing, drying, grinding and calcining on reacted products to obtain the titanium dioxide/nickel oxide double-shell hollow sphere. The prepared titanium dioxide/nickel oxide double-shell hollow sphere is provided with obvious shells.
