Abstract

The present application relates to a composite structure, a method of manufacturing the composite structure, and a catalyst including the same. In the composite structure of the present application, metal nanoparticles having a very small size are uniformly formed at a high density regardless of a type of metal. The method of manufacturing the composite structure of the present application can quickly prepare the composite structure in which metal nanoparticles having a very small size are formed uniformly at a high density regardless of the type of metal.

Claims (16)

1 . A composite structure comprising:

a cellulose-derived carbon layer; and

a metal layer present on the cellulose-derived carbon layer,
