Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is to provide such a carbon-supported catalyst that an activity expected from a catalytic activity by rotating disk electrode (RDE) evaluation is maintained even after the formation of a membrane electrode assembly (MEA). Disclosed is a carbon-supported catalyst wherein the carbon-supported catalyst includes fine catalyst particles that have a palladium-containing particle and a platinum-containing outermost layer covering at least part of the palladium-containing particle, and a carbon support supporting the fine catalyst particles, and wherein, in a cyclic voltammogram that is obtained by measuring, in an acid solution, the carbon-supported catalyst applied to a measurement electrode made of an electroconductive material, the proportion of the area of a hydrogen adsorption region that appears in a reduction current region to the total area of the hydrogen adsorption region and a hydrogen occlusion region that appears in the reduction current region, is 29% to 36%.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A carbon-supported catalyst, wherein the carbon-supported catalyst comprises fine catalyst particles that have a palladium-containing particle and a platinum-containing outermost layer covering at least part of the palladium-containing particle, and a carbon support supporting the fine catalyst particles; wherein, in a cyclic voltammogram that is obtained by measuring, in an acid solution, the carbon-supported catalyst applied to a measurement electrode made of an electroconductive material, a proportion of an area of a hydrogen adsorption region that appears in a reduction current region to a total area of the hydrogen adsorption region and a hydrogen occlusion region that appears in the reduction current region, is 29% to 36%; and wherein the cyclic voltammogram is obtained by cyclic voltammetry under conditions that a sweep rate is 50 mV/s and the acid solution has a temperature of 25° C. and is a 0.1 M perchloric acid aqueous solution subjected to inert gas bubbling. 2 . (canceled) 3 . The carbon-supported catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the fine catalyst particles have an average particle diameter of 3 nm or more and 10 nm or less.
