BASE MATERIAL-INTEGRATED NANOCRYSTALLINE METAL OXIDE COMPOSITE-CONTAINING CATALYST, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME, AND CATALYST COMPONENT

摘要

A catalyst includes: a base material; and a nanocrystalline metal oxide composite having a plurality of accumulated flake-like nanocrystalline pieces in a connected state on the surface of the base material, the flake-like nanocrystalline pieces containing a metal oxide to accumulate, wherein the nanocrystalline metal oxide composite is configured such that an end surface of at least one of the nanocrystalline pieces is connected; the nanocrystalline pieces include a plurality of stacked surfaces stacked in a direction in which a main surface becomes an uppermost stacked surface; and when metal atoms or oxygen atoms forming the metal oxide are regarded as main constituent atoms, a proportion by number of the main constituent atoms to the metal atoms and the oxygen atoms forming the metal oxide existing on each stacked surface is 80% or more, and the main constituent atoms have a specific crystal orientation which changes in each stack.
