The invention discloses a PtRu binary metal nano-alloy catalyst which is of a flower-shaped (porous) structure. The synthetic method of the PtRu binary metal nano-alloy catalyst is characterized by comprising the steps that 1, a surface active agent and a reducing agent are added into water together, and stirring is conducted for 10-30 minutes at the indoor temperature, wherein the mass ratio of the surface active agent to the reducing agent is 1:2-2:1, and the amount of added water needs to meet the requirement that both the surface active agent and the reducing agent are completely dissolved in the water; 2, a metallic platinum salt pecursor solution and a metallic ruthenium salt pecursor solution are added in the mixed solution obtained in the first step, and stirring is conducted for 10-30 minutes at the indoor temperature,wherein the volume ratio of the platinum salt pecursor solution to the metallic ruthenium salt pecursor solution is 3:2-2:3, the ratio of the volume of the mixed solution to the total volume of the metallic pecursor solutions is 10:1-20:1, and the concentration of the metal salt precursor solution is 0.05-0.5 mol/L; 3, the mixed solution obtained in the second step is stirred for 5-30 minutes at the indoor temperature, a reaction is conducted in an autoclave for 1.5-3 hours, and the temperature is controlled to be 180-230 DEG C; 4, the product obtained in the third step is cooled and then is washed, and the PtRu binary metal nano-alloy catalyst of the flower-shaped (porous) structure is obtained after centrifugal separation.
