The results of measuring the amount of ammonium perchlorate produced after irradiation for one week are shown in FIG. 1, which shows the relationship between the anodic oxidation potential of titanium oxide formation and the yield of ammonium perchlorate needle crystals. From this FIG. 1, it can be seen that the activity of the nitrogen fixing reaction is high when titanium oxide produced at 15 V or less, particularly 10 V or less is used. Titanium oxide produced with a lower anodizing potential has more oxygen defects (sites where oxygen atoms are deficient with respect to the stoichiometric amount), so these sites should enhance the activity of the nitrogen fixation reaction.

FIG. 2 shows the relationship between the film thickness and the yield of acicular ammonium perchlorate crystals of the composite photocatalyst material prepared by changing the amount of electricity applied, in other words, by changing the film thickness. From the relationship between the film thickness and the yield in FIG. 2, it can be seen that there is a yield peak at a specific film thickness. It is presumed that this is because when the thickness is too thin, the formation of the depletion layer that functions photoactively is not sufficient, and when it is too thick, the light does not reach the depletion layer. The maximum yield of needle crystals of ammonium perchlorate can be achieved at a film thickness of 1 μm, and the nitrogen immobilization rate at that time is 2
