To provide a technique for improving
heat resistance in a catalyst for
dehydrogenation reaction.SOLUTION: A main phase composed of
perovskite-type oxides represented by the general formula (LA-xA ' x) (LA-y-zByB ' z) A1 - δ (where A is at least one element selected from alkaline earth metals, A ' is at least one element of Zr1 and Y, B is at least one element of Ti and Ce, B ' is at least one element selected from Y, Sc, Yb, Al, In, and Nd, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4, 0.3 ≤ (1-z) ≤ 1, 0 ≤ y, 0 <(1-y-z) are satisfied, and δ represents an
oxygen deficiency amount), a main phase composed of
perovskite-type oxides represented by the general formula AB ' 2O4, A2B ' 2O5, O3, and a sub-phase composed of at least one of three composite oxides represented by A3B ' 4O9.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
