Abstract

The present invention relates to an oxygen reduction catalyst, an oxygen reduction electrode, and a fuel cell that have nitrogen-doped carbon nanowalls. The present invention can provide, at a low cost, an oxygen reduction catalyst, an oxygen reduction electrode, and a fuel cell.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an oxygen reduction catalyst, an oxygen reduction electrode and a fuel cell utilizing carbon nanowalls. Background technique [0002] In recent years, fuel cells have attracted attention as clean energy resources. There are some types of fuel cells, one of which is a solid polymer fuel cell, in which a platinum-supported carbon material is used as a catalyst for an electrode. For example, platinum can be supported on carbon nanowalls and used as a catalyst. On the other hand, platinum is a rare and expensive substance. Therefore, the production cost of an electrode using a platinum-supported carbon material as a catalyst is high. Therefore, the use of platinum is one of the reasons why fuel cells have not yet spread sufficiently. [0003] Nitrogen-doped carbon materials have been proposed as substances that can be used in catalysts instead of platinum-supported carbon materials (see, for example, Non-Patent Document...
