- the desorption amount of carbon dioxide is 0.13 mmol or more.
- the desorption amount of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in the temperature programmed desorption method can be determined by a known method. That is, first, by subjecting the carbon catalyst to heat treatment in a predetermined temperature-programmed desorption apparatus, functional groups (oxygen-containing compounds) are desorbed from the surface of the carbon catalyst. Next, oxygen gas is brought into contact with the carbon catalyst subjected to the heat treatment, and oxygen is chemically adsorbed on the surface of the carbon catalyst. Thereafter, the carbon catalyst is subjected to a heat treatment again, and carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide generated with the elimination of the functional group (oxygen-containing compound) from the surface of the carbon catalyst are quantified.
