Abstract
A radioactive catalyst is disclosed which comprises a fine particle of semiconductor and a high radioactive platinum group element deposited on the particle of semiconductor. The radioactive catalyst serves as a source of radiation and also as a catalyst for oxidation-reduction reaction. By bringing the radioactive catalyst into contact with water, the water is decomposed by the oxidation-reduction reaction to produce hydrogen and oxygen.
