ELECTRO-CATALYST

摘要

The present invention relates to an electro-catalyst M'aIrbMc, wherein M' is selected from the group consisting of Pt, Ta and Ru, and wherein the molar ratio a : b is within the range of 85 : 15 to 50 : 50 and the molar ratio a : c is within the range of 50 : 50 to 95 : 5, both calculated as pure metal and wherein M is selected from metals from Groups 3-15 of the Periodic System of Elements. The present invention further relates to an electrode comprising a support and the electro-catalyst. The present invention further relates to the use of the electro-catalyst and/or the electrode in electrochemical processes which comprise an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), an oxygen evolution reaction (OER), a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), a hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR), a carbon monoxide oxidation reaction (COR) or a methanol oxidation reaction (MOR).
