A method for preparing an active catalyst for high-efficiency denitration is disclosed. The method includes: a catalyst raw material is charged into a denitration reactor, NH.sub.3 and an inert gas are introduced and then heating is performed, and the temperature is held and then natural cooling is performed, thereby obtaining the catalyst. The active catalyst can greatly improve the denitration activity in low temperature range, and can not only improve the denitration efficiency under the condition without SO.sub.2 and H.sub.2O, but also can improve the denitration efficiency under the condition with both SO.sub.2 and H.sub.2O. The service life of the catalyst is prolonged under the premise of not changing the existing catalyst preparation process, and the economic benefit is significant. The denitration efficiency of a powder catalyst can be increased by 25%, and the denitration efficiency of a honeycombed catalyst or a corrugated catalyst can be increased by 20%.
