In a membrane electrode assembly 1 of a fuel cell, the porosity of a hydrogen electrode-side catalyst layer 11a is made to be lower than that of an air electrode-side catalyst layer 11b. Specifically, the weight ratio of ion-exchange resin to carbon carriers of the hydrogen electrode-side catalyst layer is made to be larger than such ratio of the air electrode-side catalyst layer, the hydrogen electrode-side catalyst layer is allowed to contain an additive having a certain particle diameter or less, or the hydrogen electrode-side catalyst layer is formed by spraying a catalyst ink and the air electrode-side catalyst layer is formed by a transfer method. According to the present invention, the amount of hydrogen that permeates from the hydrogen electrode-side catalyst layer to the air electrode-side catalyst layer via an electrolyte membrane is reduced to suppress a direct hydrogen combustion reaction in the air electrode-side catalyst layer, thereby improving the fuel cell durability.

To enhance the activation of a catalyst comprising an alloy of platinum and cobalt, thereby providing an electrode catalyst for fuel cell whose battery output and fuel efficiency are high, and thereby providing a production process of the same.An electrode catalyst according to the present invention for fuel cell is an electrode catalyst for fuel cell in which catalytic particles comprising platinum and cobalt are loaded on a conductive support, and is characterized in that a compositional (molar) ratio of said catalytic particles is platinum:cobalt=3:1-5:1: In the range of platinum:cobalt=3:1-5:1, a high battery voltage is obtainable. When the proportion of platinum is less than platinum: cobalt=3:1, the elution of cobalt from out of catalyst increases. On the contrarily, when the proportion of platinum is more than platinum: cobalt=5:1, the catalytic activities become low.

A catalyst ink for improving the performance of catalyst electrodes in a fuel cell is produced by the following procedure. A catalyst dispersion is prepared by dispersing catalyst-supported particles as conductive particles with a catalyst supported thereon in a solvent. A gel material having viscoelasticity is prepared by mixing an ionomer with a volatile solvent. A catalyst ink having a desired viscosity is produced by stirring and mixing the catalyst dispersion with the gel material.
