The invention discloses a catalyst which is used when methane is transformed into hydrobromic ether through the bromine oxidation reaction, and the catalyst which is used when preparing heavy hydrocarbons by using the hydrobromic ether further, and belongs to the technology field of the catalyst and the preparation method thereof. The first type of catalyst which is used when the methane is transformed into the hydrobromic ether through the bromine oxidation reaction comprises the preparation step that water-soluble metallic compound precursors such as Rh, Ru, Cu, Zn, Ag, Ce, V, W, Cd, Mo, Mn, Cr, La, etc. are mixed with a silica precursor, the mixture is processed through hydrolyzation, drying and roasting, and then the catalyst is obtained; the first type of catalyst can lead definite masses of reactant composed of the methane, HBr, H2O and oxygen sources (that is O2, air or oxygen-enriched air) to perform the catalytic bromine oxidation reaction, to generate target products such as CH3Br, CH2Br2, etc. The second type of catalyst, which is used when preparing the heavy hydrocarbons by using the hydrobromic ether further, includes the preparation step that molecular sieves such as HZSM-5, HY, H Beta, 3A, 4A, 5A, 13X, etc. load metallic compounds composed of Zn and Mg, so that the catalyst is obtained; the second type of catalyst can lead the methane bromination products composed of the CH3Br and the CH2Br2 to further react so as to generate the heavy hydrocarbons containing C3 to C13 and HBr, wherein, the HBr is used as a circular reaction medium.
