The invention relates to a porous platinum preparation method and application of porous platinum. The preparation method provided by the invention comprises the following steps that metal platinum andmetal low in melting and boiling point are put into a vacuum furnace, a vacuum condition is kept, after heating at the low temperature is conducted for a period of time, the temperature is increased,vacuum is kept, and then the porous platinum can be obtained. According to the method, platinum alloy smelting and porous platinum preparing are integrated, no pilot process is needed, the operationcan be completed on the same equipment, thus, the cost can be reduced, in addition, metal oxidization can be avoided, and the platinum purity is improved; the porosity of the porous platinum can be changed by adjusting and controlling the temperature and time, the prepared porous platinum is uniform in pore diameter distribution, controllable in size and high in porosity, and accordingly, requirements in different fields are met; and elements which are low in melting and boiling point and are obtained through high temperature evaporation can be recycled, accordingly, wasting and polluting areavoided, and the material utilization rate is increased.
