Support for electrode catalyst and method of manufacturing the same, electrode catalyst, electrode, membrane-electrode assembly for fuel cell and fuel cell

摘要

A support for an electrode catalyst includes a carbon support and a crystalline carbon layer disposed on the surface of the carbon support and including a heteroatom which is chemically bonded to a carbon of the carbon support. Also described are a method of manufacturing the support, and an electrode support, an electrode for a fuel cell, a membrane-electrode assembly for a fuel cell, and a fuel cell including the electrode catalyst support.
