Disclosed are a P—N heterojunction composite material supported on the surface of nickel foam, a preparation method therefor and the application thereof. The composite material is a supported catalyst which can be used to remove pollutants in water by means of photoelectrocatalysis. The method comprises firstly modifying, by means of a hydrothermal method, a layered nickel-iron bimetallic hydroxide nanosheet on the surface of clean nickel foam, and then modifying cobalt oxide nanowires on the surface of the layered nickel-iron bimetallic hydroxide nanosheet by means of a mixed solvent-thermal method, so as to obtain a P—N heterojunction catalyst composite material supported on the surface of nickel foam (Ni foam@NiFe-LDH/Co.sub.3O.sub.4). The composite material has a good response to visible light, which can greatly enhance the absorption and utilization of light, and is further beneficial to enhance the performance of the catalyst.

Embodiments of catalyst systems and methods of synthesizing catalyst systems are provided. The catalyst system may include a core comprising a zeolite; and a shell comprising a microporous fibrous silica. The shell may be in direct contact with at least a majority of an outer surface of the core. The catalyst system may have a Si/Al molar ratio greater than 5. At least a portion of the shell may have a thickness of from 50 nanometers (nm) to 600 nm.

A molecular sieve has a silica/alumina molar ratio of 100-300, and has a mesopore structure. One closed hysteresis loop appears in the range of P/P.sub.0=0.4-0.99 in the low temperature nitrogen gas adsorption-desorption curve, and the starting location of the closed hysteresis loop is in the range of P/P.sub.0=0.4-0.7. The catalyst formed from the molecular sieve as a solid acid not only has a good capacity of isomerization to reduce the freezing point, but also can produce a high yield of the product with a lower pour point. The process for preparing the catalyst involves steps including crystallization, filtration, calcination, and hydrothermal treatment.
