Catalyst and production method for same, cathode, ion exchange membrane electrode assembly, and solid electrolyte electrolysis device

Abstract

A catalyst that has a high electrolytic activity and a high CO2 reduction reaction rate and a method of producing the same, a cathode, an ion exchange membrane-electrode assembly, and a solid electrolyte electrolysis apparatus are provided. The catalyst includes a metal ion selected from the group consisting of a copper ion, a nickel ion, an iron ion, a cobalt ion, a zinc ion, a manganese ion, a molybdenum ion, and an aluminum ion, a nitrogen-containing compound, and a carrier containing carbon having a primary particle diameter of 5 to 200 nm, the metal ion is coordinated to the nitrogen atom on the nitrogen-containing compound, the catalyst has a content of the metal ion coordinated to the nitrogen atom of 0.7% by mass or more, and the catalyst has a particle diameter of 10 nm to 50 μm.
