1 .- 6 . (canceled) 7 . An electrode catalyst for fuel cell, comprising a catalyst support and a catalyst metal supported on the catalyst support, wherein the catalyst support includes pores having a radius of less than 1 nm and pores having a radius of 1 nm or more, wherein a surface area formed by the pores having a radius of less than 1 nm is equal to or larger than a surface area formed by the pores having a radius of 1 nm or more, and wherein an average particle diameter of the catalyst metal is 2.8 nm or more. 8 . The electrode catalyst for fuel cell according to claim 7 , wherein the catalyst support has a BET specific surface area of 1000 m 2 /g support or more. 9 . The electrode catalyst for fuel cell according to claim 7 , wherein the catalyst metal is platinum or includes platinum and a metal component other than platinum. 10 . The electrode catalyst for fuel cell according to claim 7 , wherein the average particle diameter of the catalyst metal is 4.1 rim or more. 11 . A method for manufacturing the catalyst set forth in claim 7 , which comprises precipitating a catalyst metal on a surface of a catalyst support, and after the precipitating, performing heat treatment to increase a particle diameter of the catalyst metal. 12 . An electrode catalyst layer for fuel cell, comprising the catalyst set forth in claim 7 , and an electrolyte.
