A fuel reformer (1), which comprises a casing (20) having an inlet (21) and an outlet (22) for a fuel and a treating chamber (24) formed inside the casing, wherein the treating chamber is packed with a catalyst material (10) having an oxidized metal coating film, on the surface thereof, which has a graded oxygen-deficient structure having formed by shot peening. The fuel introduced into the fuel reformer (1) is activated by the contact with the oxidized metal coating film (12) formed on the surface of the catalyst material (10), which results in the improvement of the fuel economy of a combustion apparatus into which the fuel is supplied. |
