Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention provides a catalyst for a solid polymer fuel cell, having excellent initial activity and good durability and a production method thereof. The present invention is a catalyst for a solid polymer fuel cell, including catalyst particles composed of platinum or a platinum alloy supported on a carbon powder carrier, the catalyst having sulfo groups (—SO 3 H) at least on the catalyst particles, and the catalyst further having a fluorine compound having a C—F bond supported at least on the catalyst particles. It is preferred in the catalyst of the present invention that sulfur content is 800 ppm or more and 5000 ppm or less based on the mass of the whole catalyst and the amount of the fluorine compound is 3 mass % or more and 24 mass % or less based on the mass of the whole catalyst.

The invention claimed is: 1. A catalyst for a solid polymer fuel cell, comprising catalyst particles composed of platinum or a platinum alloy supported on a carbon powder carrier, wherein the catalyst has sulfo functional groups (—SO 3 H) that are directly bonded to the catalyst particles, wherein the catalyst further has a fluorine compound having a C—F that is formed separately from the sulfo functional groups and directly bonded to the catalyst particles, and wherein sulfur (S) content is 800 ppm or more and 5000 ppm or less based on the mass of the whole catalyst. 2. The catalyst for a solid polymer fuel cell according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of the fluorine compound is 3 mass % or more and 24 mass % or less based on the mass of the whole catalyst. 3. The catalyst for a solid polymer fuel cell according to- claim 1 , wherein the fluorine compound is a fluorine resin or a fluorine-based surfactant. 4. The catalyst for a solid polymer fuel cell according to- claim 1 , wherein in EDX analysis, a ratio (I S /I Pt ) of a sulfur peak intensity (I S ) to a platinum peak intensity (I Pt ) on the catalyst particles is within a range of 0.0044 or more and 0.0090 or less. 5. The catalyst for a solid polymer fuel cell according to- claim 1 , wherein the catalyst particles comprise any one of platinum, a platinum-cobalt alloy, a platinum-cobalt-manganese alloy, and a platinum-cobalt-magnesium alloy. 6. The catalyst for a solid polymer fuel cell according to- claim 1 , wherein a supporting density of the catalyst particles is 30% or more and 70% or less. 7. The catalyst for a solid polymer fuel cell according to claim 2 , wherein the fluorine compound is a fluorine resin or a fluorine-based surfactant. 8. The catalyst for a solid polymer fuel cell according to claim 2 , wherein in EDX analysis, a ratio (I S /I Pt ) of a sulfur peak intensity (I S ) to a platinum peak intensity (I Pt ) on the catalyst particles is within a range of 0.0044 or more and 0.0090 or less.
