The invention relates to a method for preparing platinum nanowires through helicoverpa armigera nuclear polyhedron extractives. The method mainly includes the steps that after centrifugal purification is carried out on helicoverpa armigera nuclear polyhedrosis virus raw powder, resuspension with ultrapure water is carried out, alkaline hydrolysis liquid is added for processing, chloroform is added for even shocking, supernate is taken for overspeed centrifugation, ultrapure water is added for dissolving sediment spots, and then the polyhedrin extractives are obtained; a K2PtC16 solution is added into the obtained extractives, sufficient and even mixing is carried out, hatching is carried out in an air bath table at the indoor temperature for 20 h-50 h, a NaOH solution is used for adjusting the pH value to range from 7 to 9, and hatching is continuously carried out for 20 h to 50 h; a NaBH4 solution is added for reduction, and the platinum nanowires with net structures are obtained. The simple and environmentally-friendly platinum nanowire synthetic method which is even in structure and shape distribution, adjustable is size and better in stability is provided, and the prepared net-shaped platinum nanowires are even in shape and stable in structure and have the good potential application value on the aspects of fuel cell, biosensing, organocatalysis and the like.
