CATALYST MATERIAL FOR ELECTRODE, ELECTRODE FOR FUEL CELL, METHOD FOR PRODUCING CATALYST MATERIAL FOR ELECTRODE, AND FUEL CELL

摘要

Provided is an electrode catalyst material that has an increased reduction rate of a nickel catalyst and thus an improved catalytic function in a fuel cell. The electrode catalyst material for fuel cells contains nickel oxide and cobalt oxide. The electrode catalyst material contains a cobalt metal component in an amount of 2 to 15 mass% with respect to the total mass of a nickel metal component and the cobalt metal component.
