The catalyst includes a nickel-containing layer exposed on a support layer consisting of iron, cast iron, steel, copper, nickel, copper alloy or iron-nickel alloy. The catalyst for the decomposition of hydrocarbons is obtained by contacting the catalyst as a raw material with methane gas at an elevated temperature of 800° C. for 4 to 72 hours with an average residence time beyond 14 minutes. The catalyst may have an interlayer including copper between the support layer and the nickel-containing layer, otherwise the support layer may be copper or copper alloy.
