A platinum alloy electrocatalyst, composed of a platinum-copper alloy containing 15 to 50 atomic percent of copper (the balance being platinum) and supported on a suitable carrier, shows high activity over long periods because of the enhanced specific activity of supported metal and improved maintainability of its specific surface area. Thus acid-electrolyte fuel cells using the electrode comprising such an electrocatalyst feature better output performances and longer service life than fuel cells using conventional electrodes. |
