Abstract

Provided is a catalyst for an electrode, said catalyst contributing to a reduction in cost and having equal or greater catalytic activity in comparison with Pt / Pd / C catalysts. This catalyst (10A) foran electrode has a carrier (2) and catalyst particles (3a) that are carried on the carrier. The catalyst particles have a core part (4) that is formed on the carrier, a first shell part (5a) that is formed on the core part, and a second shell part (6a) that is formed on a portion of the surface of the first shell part. The core part includes Pd, the first shell part includes Pt, and the second shell part includes Ti oxide. Furthermore, in the catalyst for an electrode, the proportion R1Pt (atom%) of Pt and the proportion R1Ti (atom%) of Ti derived from Ti oxide in an analysis region near the surface as measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy satisfies the condition of formula (1): 1.00 <= (R1Ti / R1Pt) <= 2.50.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to catalysts for electrodes. More specifically, it relates to an electrode catalyst suitable for a gas diffusion electrode, and more particularly, an electrode catalyst suitable for a gas diffusion electrode of a fuel cell. [0002] In addition, the present invention relates to a composition for forming a gas diffusion electrode, a membrane electrode assembly, and a fuel cell stack containing the above catalyst particles for electrodes. Background technique [0003] A solid polymer fuel cell (Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell: hereinafter referred to as "PEFC" as needed) is being researched and developed as a power source for fuel cell vehicles and cogeneration systems for household use. [0004] As the catalyst used in the gas diffusion electrode of PEFC, a noble metal catalyst composed of noble metal particles of a platinum group element such as platinum (Pt) is used. [0005] For example, as a typical conventional catalys...
