TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The noble metal complex is chosen from a platinum complex, palladium complex, rhodium complex, ruthenium complex, iridium complex or rhenium complex. The transition metal complex is chosen from iron chloride, cobalt chloride, nickel chloride, chromium chloride or manganese chloride. The noble metal or noble metal ions is/are chosen from platinum, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, iridium and rhenium.Preferred Catalyst: The noble metal-type catalyst is a noble metal catalyst or alloy catalyst of noble metal and transition metal. The noble metal catalyst is chosen from platinum catalyst, rhodium catalyst, ruthenium catalyst, iridium catalyst, palladium catalyst and rhenium catalyst. The alloy catalyst of the noble metal and transition metal is chosen from gold-iron catalyst, platinum-iron catalyst, platinum-chromium catalyst, platinum-manganese catalyst, platinum-cobalt catalyst and platinum-nickel catalyst.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - Preferred Process: A transition metal complex is used along with the noble metal complex, in the formation of a catalyst supported carbonized material. The polymer is heat processed at 180-300degreesC. Noble metal or noble metal ions are adsorbed on the heat processed polymeric surface by vapor deposition or sputtering, to precipitate a noble metal-type catalyst on the polymer surface. The polymer containing the noble metal-type catalyst precipitate is heat processed at 400-800degreesC under an inert-gas atmosphere, and is carbonized to obtain a noble metal-type catalyst supported carbonized material. Preferred Polymer: The polymer having a nitrile group is polyacrylonitrile. The polymer having an amino group is polyethylene oxide. EXAMPLE - Gold was vapor deposited on a substrate (silicon wafer) under a reduced pressure of 1.3 x 10-3 Pa and at room temperature. Polyacrylonitrile was then vapor deposited on the substrate under a reduced pressure of 2.7 x 10-3 Pa using a heat-resistant molybdenum boat. The polymer was then heat-processed at 230degreesC for 3 hours, and then immersed into an aqueous solution of a platinum complex (Pt(NH3)6Cl4) for 10 hours at 40degreesC, such that platinum ions were adsorbed on the surface of the polymer. Subsequently, the polymer was washed, dried and heat-processed at 400degreesC for 10 minutes under an argon atmosphere, to form a catalyst supported carbonized material. Platinum microparticles were uniformly dispersed in the carbonized material. The average particle diameter of the platinum microparticles in the carbonized material was 1.39 nm. The Raman measurement result of the obtained carbonized material showed that the fine structure of the carbon network of the material was controlled. The carbonized material had good catalytic activity.
