Anode for alkaline water electrolysis and method for producing anode for alkaline water electrolysis

An anode for alkaline water electrolysis comprising:

• a conductive substrate having at least a surface that comprises nickel or a nickel-based alloy;
• and
• an electrode catalyst layer formed on the surface of the conductive substrate,
• wherein the electrode catalyst layer has a layered structure comprising a first catalyst layer and a second catalyst layer, wherein
• the first catalyst layer comprises:
• a first catalyst component comprising a lanthanide-nickel-cobalt perovskite oxide represented by a structural formula XNiaCo1-aO3, wherein X represents at least one lanthanide selected from the group consisting of lanthanum, cerium, and praseodymium, and a satisfies 0<a<1, and
• the second catalyst layer comprises:
• a second catalyst component comprising at least one material selected from the group consisting of iridium oxide and ruthenium oxide, and
• the first catalyst layer is formed on the surface of the conductive substrate, and the second catalyst layer is formed on a surface of the first catalyst layer.
