摘要:
The disclosed electrode for use in a fuel cell comprises a flexible carbon-fiber nonwoven fabric and a fuel-cell catalyst, such as a metal catalyst or a carbon-alloy catalyst, supported on the surfaces of the carbon fibers constituting the flexible carbon-fiber nonwoven fabric. Said flexible carbon-fiber nonwoven fabric is formed by carbonizing a nonwoven fabric obtained by electrospinning a composition containing: an electrospinnable macromolecular substance; an organic compound that is different from said macromolecular substance; and a transition metal. This structure allows the provision of an electrode, for use in a fuel cell, which uses a flexible carbon-fiber nonwoven fabric as a substrate and combines the functions of a gas-diffusion layer and an electrocatalyst layer.

Provided are a carbon catalyst, an electrode, and a battery that exhibit excellent activity. A carbon catalyst according to one embodiment of the present invention has a carbon structure in which area ratios of three peaks f broad , f middle , and f narrow obtained by separating a peak in the vicinity of a diffraction angle of 26° in an X-ray diffraction pattern obtained by powder X-ray diffraction satisfy the following conditions (a) to (c) : (a) f broad : 75% or more and 96% or less; (b) f middle : 3.2% or more and 15% or less; and (c) f narrow : 0.4% or more and 15% or less.
摘要:
Provided are a porous carbon catalyst exhibiting excellent catalytic activity and a method of producing the same, and an electrode and a battery. The porous carbon catalyst is obtained through carbonization of an organic polymer porous body having a skeleton containing a metal in an inside thereof. The porous carbon catalyst may have a skeleton containing the metal in an inside thereof, and the skeleton may be a particle aggregate-like skeleton. The method of producing a porous carbon catalyst includes carbonizing an organic polymer porous body having a skeleton containing a metal in an inside thereof.
