[0099] A platinum-loaded carbon catalyst (catalyst-loaded particles) with a loading density of 50% by mass, a fibrous oxide-based catalyst material (TiONP) with an average fiber diameter of 100 nm and an average fiber length of 15 μm, and 25% by mass The polymer electrolyte solution is mixed in a solvent, and the solvent is dispersed using a planetary ball mill. At this time, the dispersion time was set to 30 minutes to prepare a catalyst ink. The composition ratio of the starting materials in the prepared catalyst ink was set as follows. That is, the mass ratio of carbon support: oxide-based catalyst substance: polymer electrolyte was set to 1:1.5:0.7. A solvent obtained by mixing ultrapure water and 1-propanol was used as a solvent for the catalyst ink. In the solvent, set the volume ratio of ultrapure water to 1-propanol at 1:1. Moreover, the catalyst ink was prepared so that the solid content in the catalyst ink might become 12 ma...

Abstract

A membrane electrode assembly for a fuel cell is provided with a polymer electrolyte membrane and a pair of electrode catalyst layers that sandwich the polymer electrolyte membrane. At least one of the pair of electrode catalyst layers contains particles on which a catalyst comprising a noble metal component is supported, a polymer electrolyte, and a fibrous oxide-based catalyst material. The fibrous oxide catalyst material contains at least one transition metal element selected from the group consisting of Ta, Nb, Ti, and Zr.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fuel cell membrane electrode assembly and a solid polymer fuel cell. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell is a power generation system that performs power generation while generating heat by performing a reverse reaction of electrolysis of water in electrodes containing a catalyst using a fuel gas containing hydrogen and an oxidant gas containing oxygen. Compared with conventional power generation methods, this power generation system has the characteristics of high efficiency, low environmental load, and low noise, and it is attracting attention as a future clean energy. Fuel cells can be classified into several types according to the type of ion conductors used in the fuel cells. Among them, fuel cells using a proton-conducting polymer membrane are called solid polymer fuel cells. [0003] Among fuel cells, solid polymer fuel cells can be used near room temperature, so they are expected to be used in vehicle p...
