The invention discloses a metal-modified superhydrophobic material and a preparation method thereof, belongs to the field of preparation of superhydrophobic materials, and aims to solve the technical problems in environmentally-friendly, energy-saving and efficient preparation of the superhydrophobic material. The preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, preparing conical nano nickel by using a polylactic acid template; S2, impregnating the conical nano nickel in a gold ion-containing gold plating solution for replacement reaction; S3, carrying out cleaning and drying; S4, then impregnating the conical nano nickel in a hexadecyl mercaptan solution for complex reaction; S5, carrying out cleaning and drying, thus obtaining the metal-modified superhydrophobic material, wherein the metal-modified superhydrophobic material is sulfydryl-carried metal gold, and hill-shaped bulges are formed on the surface of the metal-modified superhydrophobic material. The metal-modified superhydrophobic material is prepared according to the preparation method; the metal-modified superhydrophobic material is the sulfydryl-carried metal gold, and the hill-shaped bulges are formed on the surface of the metal-modified superhydrophobic material.
