Abstract

See full text

An improved electrocatalyst comprises a supported platinum-gallium alloy catalyst of up to 50 atomic percent gallium, preferably of 10 to 30 atomic percent gallium, balance platinum. The platinum-gallium alloy is supported, preferably on carbon powder or the like, shows greater activity for oxygen reduction and better resistance to sintering than does a comparable platinum catalyst. A fuel cell electrode especially suited for use as a phosphoric acid fuel cell cathode comprises the supported platinum-gallium alloy electrocatalyst bound to an acid resistant support member.
