In this paper, we study the Kirchhoff-type equation:

V

and

are vanishing at infinity. With the aid of the quantitative deformation lemma and constraint variational method, we prove the existence of a sign-changing solution
u
to the above equation. Moreover, we obtain that the sign-changing solution
u
has exactly two nodal domains. Our results can be seen as an improvement of the previous literature.
