Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a nanocrystal composite includes a connected aggregate including a plurality of nanocrystal fragments connected to one another, each nanocrystal fragment having a main surface and an end surface, and nanoparticles supported on the connected aggregate. The plurality of nanocrystal fragments each have a flaky shape; the plurality of nanocrystal fragments have gaps between the main surfaces; and the gaps G are arranged so as to open to the outside of the connected aggregate. The nanoparticles have a metallic element different from that of the plurality of nanocrystal fragments; and a proportion of a visual field area of the nanoparticles with respect to a visual field area of the plurality of nanocrystal fragments is 2% or more and 50% or less.
