The present invention relates to an active oxygen developing substance
composed of an aluminosilicate obtained by heating hydrogarnet as a
precursor substance at 700.degree. C. or higher; an aluminosilicate
catalyst supporting cobalt oxide, produced by supporting cobalt oxide on
the surface of the aluminosilicate; a method for manufacturing these; and
applications of these as oxidation catalysts, solid electrolytes, oxygen
occlusion carriers, and so forth.
