The invention discloses a Pt based catalyst highly dispersed in a carrier SiO2 as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The catalyst takes SiO2 as the carrier, takes metal Pt as an active component, and takes NiO, La2O3 and LaFeO3 as auxiliaries; based on the total mass of the catalyst, the Pt based catalyst is prepared from the following components in percentage by mass: 0.1-0.3%of metal Pt, 0.05-4% of NiO, 0.25-9.0% OF La2O3, 17.0-30.0% of LaFeO3 and 55.0-85.0% of SiO2, and the catalyst can be applied to isobutylene dehydrogenation. The selected SiO2 has a big specific surface area, so that each component can be highly dispersed, and therefore, the catalyst is not liable to gather and sinter; meanwhile, Pt is doped into a perovskite structure, so that the reduced Pt particles are small, and perovskite particles, lanthanum oxide particles and nickel oxide particles among the Pt particles achieve the dispersion effect as a result of the special structure of perovskite,and therefore, more active sites are exposed; and Pt is not liable to reunite at a high temperature, so that stability and reaction activity of the catalyst are improved.
