Abstract
This anode catalyst layer for a fuel cell contains electrode catalyst particles, a carbon carrier on which the electrode catalyst particles are loaded, water electrolysis catalyst particles, a proton-conducting binder, and graphitized carbon. At least part of the carbon carrier has a crystallite size La of 3.0 nm or more.
Claims16
An anode catalyst layer for a fuel cell, comprising electrode catalyst particles, a carbon carrier on which the electrode catalyst particles are supported, water electrolysis catalyst particles, a proton-conducting binder, and graphitized carbon, wherein
- at least a part of the carbon carrier has a crystallite size La of from 3.0 nm or more to 30 nm or less.
A method for the production of an anode catalyst layer for a fuel cell, comprising the steps of:
- mixing a carbon carrier on which electrode catalyst particles are supported, water electrolysis catalyst particles, a proton-conducting binder, and graphitized carbon to obtain a catalyst layer composition, and
- forming a catalyst layer from the catalyst layer composition, wherein
- a crystallite size La of the carbon carrier is from 3.0 nm or more to 30 nm or less.
