A method for preparing hydrogen sulfide from sulfur dioxide by electrochemical reduction includes electrochemically reducing sulfur dioxide absorbed in an aqueous solution into gaseous hydrogen sulfide with a membrane electrode, resulting in efficient and selective conversion of the sulfur dioxide absorbed in the aqueous solution into the hydrogen sulfide to avoid a deactivation of a cathode due to colloidal sulfur produced on the cathode and adhesion onto a surface of the cathode, wherein the method is carried out at ambient temperature and normal pressure without addition of a reducing agent, having no waste salts produced, and is simple in operation, and is convenient for large-scale application.
