摘要:
Provided is an electrode catalyst having enhanced catalytic activity (oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) specific activity). Disclosed is an electrode catalyst containing a catalyst metal particle (s) and a spacer (s) supported on a catalyst support, in which a ratio (d sp /d cat ) of an average diameter of the spacer (s) (d sp ) with respect to an average diameter of the catalyst metal particle (s) (d cat ) is from 3.5 to 10.
摘要:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a platinum core-shell catalyst that uses palladium (Pd) as a core metal, or a platinum catalyst containing platinum and a metal besides platinum, wherein the platinum catalyst is supported on carbon and has excellent oxygen reduction activity; and a manufacturing method by which it is possible to manufacture the catalyst industrially on a mass scale. This method for manufacturing a platinum catalyst for a fuel cell containing platinum and a metal besides platinum includes (I) a step for bringing about the presence of a chemical species imparting higher potential than the initial oxide formation potential of the platinum of the platinum catalyst, and (II) a step for bringing about the presence of a chemical species imparting lower potential than the initial oxide formation potential of the platinum of the platinum catalyst, the steps being carried out in a dispersion solution of the platinum catalyst dispersed in an acidic solution containing protons.
