The present invention discloses catalyst and method for producing light olefins directly from synthesis gas by a one-step process, and particularly relates to method and catalyst for directly converting synthesis gas into light olefins by a one-step process. The provided catalysts are composite materials formed of multicomponent metal oxide composites and inorganic solid acids with hierarchical pore structures. The inorganic solid acids have a hierarchical pore structure having micropores, mesopores and macropores.

The single pass conversion of CO is 10%-60%. The selectivity of light hydrocarbon in all hydrocarbon products can be up to 60%-95%, wherein the selectivity of light olefins (C.sub.2.sup.C.sub.4.sup.) is 50%-85%.
