Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention is a catalyst for solid polymer fuel cell having catalyst particles composed of platinum, cobalt and magnesium supported on a carbon powder carrier, in which a composition ratio (molar ratio) among platinum, cobalt and magnesium in the catalyst particles is Pt:Co:Mg=1:0.4 to 0.5:0.00070 to 0.00095. This catalyst is manufactured by supporting cobalt and magnesium on a platinum catalyst and then conducting a heat treatment and a treatment to be brought into contact with an oxidizing solution, the feature of the catalyst manufactured in this manner includes a peak position of a main peak appearing between 2θ=40° and 42° in X-ray diffraction analysis, and the peak position is shifted to from 41.0° to 41.5°.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A catalyst for solid polymer fuel cell having catalyst particles comprising platinum, cobalt and magnesium supported on a carbon powder carrier, wherein a composition ratio (molar ratio) among platinum, cobalt and magnesium in the catalyst particles is Pt:Co:Mg=1:0.4 to 0.5:0.00070 to 0.00095, the catalyst particles having an X-ray diffraction pattern comprising a highest peak around 2θ=41.0°-41.5°. 2. The catalyst for solid polymer fuel cell according to claim 1 , wherein a supporting density, which is a mass of the catalyst particles supported on the carbon powder carrier with respect to an entire mass of the catalyst, is from 30 to 70%.
