The presence of a small amount of the metal catalyst nanoparticles in the metal-ceramic composite minimizes the occurrence of stress resulting from a change in the volume of the metal catalyst and provides a solution to the problem of defects, achieving improved life characteristics. Also disclosed is a method for preparing the metal-ceramic composite.
