The invention discloses a water-soluble fullerene nano-material as well as a preparation method and an application thereof. A general structural formula of the water-soluble fullerene nano-material is shown as C2n(OH)x(Amino Acid)y, wherein n is less than or equal to 60 and is greater than or equal to 20, x is less than or equal to 50 and is greater than or equal to 0, y is less than or equal to 20 and is greater than or equal to 0 and Amino Acid is water-soluble amino acid. The nano-material provided by the invention is applied to preparation of medicines for treating tumors, wherein the tumors include at least one of liver cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, renal cancer, pancreatic cancer, cancer in bones, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, prostatic cancer, esophagus cancer, gastric cancer, oral cancer, nose cancer, laryngeal cancer, cancer of biliary duct, cervical cancer, uterine cancer, testicle cancer, meningeoma, skin cancer, melanoma and sarcoma. The nano-material profvided by the invention is good in water solubility, good in affinity with organisms and low in preparation cost, and the nano-material can obviously block off tumor vessels and rapidly cut off nutrition supply to tumor tissues.
