Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An oxygen evolution catalyst includes a core and a shell covering the surface of the core. The core includes ruthenium oxide or metal ruthenium in at least a surface portion. The shell includes titania or a composite oxide of titanium and ruthenium. Such an oxygen evolution catalyst is obtained by (a) dispersing core particles each including ruthenium oxide or metal ruthenium in at least a surface portion in a solvent to obtain a dispersion, (b) adding a Ti source to the dispersion to produce precursor particles in which the surface of each core particle is covered with a titania precursor, and (c) collecting the precursor particles from the dispersion and heat-treating the precursor particles after drying.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An oxygen evolution catalyst comprising: a core; and a shell covering and fixed to a surface of the core, wherein the core includes ruthenium oxide or metal ruthenium in at least a surface portion, and the shell includes titania or a composite oxide of titanium and ruthenium. 2. The oxygen evolution catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein a titania coverage is 0.05 ML or more and 5.0 ML or less, the titania coverage being the number of titania atomic layers on the assumption that all of titanium included in the shell has become titania and that the titania uniformly covers the surface of the core. 3. A water electrolyzer comprising an oxygen electrode in which the oxygen evolution catalyst according to claim 1 is contained therein. 4. A fuel cell comprising an anode in which the oxygen evolution catalyst according to claim 1 is added thereto.
