<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the method for manufacturing a catalyst enhancing performance per surface area by making small the particle size of metal clusters in which metal is covered with ligands as an electrode catalyst for a fuel cell, and to provide an electrode for the fuel cell manufactured by using this. <P>SOLUTION: The catalyst uses metal clusters containing non-platinum elements as a catalytic activity component, the metal cluster includes metals having different valences, and performance per catalyst surface area is enhanced by making small particle size of the metal clusters. The electrode for achieving high performance without using carbon carriers is realized by applying the catalyst to the electrode catalyst of the fuel cell. Since the electrode is made thin, resistance is decreased, and the electrode is applied to a DMFC and a PEFC as a high performance electrode. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
