1. A method for preparing hydrogen sulfide from sulfur dioxide by an electrochemical reduction, comprising electrochemically reducing the sulfur dioxide absorbed in an aqueous solution into gaseous hydrogen sulfide with a membrane electrode, wherein the membrane electrode is a porous membrane with a catalytic function for SO2 conversion and separation function for H2S gas products, wherein the electrochemical reduction of the sulfur dioxide absorbed in the aqueous solution is carried out by using a three-electrode system with the aqueous solution absorbed with the sulfur dioxide as a cathode compartment electrolyte and the membrane electrode as a working electrode.
