Abstract:
A catalyst particle including platinum and palladium, and having a proportion of palladium in the surface of the particle, measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), of 45 to 55 atom % with respect to a total amount of platinum and palladium of 100 atom %. Also disclosed is a support-type catalyst particle, a fuel cell catalyst layer, an electrode including the fuel cell catalyst layer and a membrane electrode assembly including the electrode.
Abstract:
A catalyst carrier, an electrode catalyst, an electrode including the catalyst, a membrane electrode assembly including the electrode, and a fuel cell including the membrane electrode assembly. The catalyst carrier includes a carbon material having a chain structure including a chain of carbon particles and an alumina-carbon composite particle in which a carbon particle encloses an alumina particle, the alumina-carbon composite particle is contained in the carbon material, and the catalyst carrier has a BET specific surface area of 450 to 1100 m2/g.
Abstract:
A catalyst carrier, an electrode catalyst, an electrode including the catalyst, a membrane electrode assembly including the electrode, a fuel cell including the membrane electrode assembly, and a method for producing the catalyst carrier. The catalyst carrier includes a carbon material having a chain structure including a chain of carbon particles. The catalyst carrier contains a titanium compound-carbon composite particle in which carbon encloses a titanium compound particle. The molar ratios of a carbon element, a nitrogen element, and an oxygen element to a titanium element taken as 1 in the catalyst carrier are more than 0 and 50 or less, more than 0 and 2 or less, and more than 0 and 3 or less, respectively.
