Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A laminated catalyst according to an embodiment includes an oxide layer, a first catalyst layer on the oxide layer and a second catalyst layer on the first catalyst layer. The oxide layer is a layer of oxide including one or more non-noble metals as a main component. The first catalyst layer includes an oxide of noble metal including Ir and/or Ru as a main component. The second catalyst layer includes an oxide of noble metal including Ir and/or Ru as a main component. The first catalyst layer is denser than the second catalyst layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A laminated catalyst comprising: an oxide layer; a first catalyst layer on the oxide layer; and a second catalyst layer on the first catalyst layer, wherein the oxide layer is a layer of oxide including one or more non-noble metals as a main component, the first catalyst layer includes an oxide of noble metal including Ir and/or Ru as a main component, the second catalyst layer includes an oxide of noble metal including Ir and/or Ru as a main component, and the first catalyst layer is denser than the second catalyst layer. 2 . The laminated catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the oxide layer includes an oxide including one or more transition elements. 3 . The laminated catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein a porosity rate of the oxide layer is 0[%] or more and 5[%] or less. 4 . The laminated catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the oxide layer includes an oxide of Ni, and a ratio of Ni contained in the oxide layer to one or more metal elements contained in the oxide layer is 80[%] or more and 100[%] or less. 5 . The laminated catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the oxide layer is 0.1 [nm] or more and 1.5 [nm] or less. 6 . The laminated catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein a porosity rate of the first catalyst layer is 0[%] or more and 5[%] or less. 7 . The laminated catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the first catalyst layer is 0.5 [nm] or more and 15 [nm] or less. 8 . The laminated catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein a sum of concentration of Ir and Ru contained in the first catalyst layer to one or more metal elements contained in the first catalyst layer is 90[%] or more and 100[%] or less. 9 . The laminated catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein a porosity rate of the second catalyst layer is 10[%] or more and 90[%] or less. 10 . The laminated catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the second catalyst layer is 100 [nm] or more and 2000 [nm] or less. 11 . The laminated catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein a sum of concentration of Ir and Ru contained in the second catalyst layer to one or more metal elements contained in the second catalyst layer is 90[%] or more and 100[%] or less. 12 . An electrode comprising: the laminated catalyst according to claim 1 ; and a substrate. 13 . A membrane electrode assembly comprising: the electrode according to claim 12 . 14 . An electrochemical cell comprising: the membrane electrode assembly according to claim 13 . 15 . A stack comprising: the electrode chemical cell according to claim 14 . 16 . An electrolyzer comprising: the electrochemical cell according to claim 14 .
