Patent ID: 8637208

Claim:
An electrode for a fuel cell, comprising: an electrode substrate; and a catalyst layer disposed on the electrode substrate and including metal nanoparticles, a binder and a catalyst, the catalyst being a different material from the metal nanoparticles, the metal nanoparticles being selected from the group consisting of Au, Ag, Rh, Ir, and combinations thereof, the metal nanoparticles and the binder being used in a mixing ratio of 0.001 to 10 wt %:99.999 to 90 wt %, the catalyst layer having a structure of either the catalyst being disposed on the binder, in which the metal nanoparticles are dispersed and the catalyst is not dispersed, or the metal nanoparticles and the catalyst being mixed on a surface of the binder where the metal nanoparticles and the catalyst are not dispersed in the binder.
