  • Patent number: 10153495
    Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a catalyst, including: (i) mixing a core metal salt that serves as a material for a core metal, and a complexing agent (a) to produce a core metal complex solution containing a core metal complex; (ii) mixing a shell metal salt that serves as a material for a shell metal, and a complexing agent (b) to produce a shell metal complex solution containing a shell metal complex; (iii) mixing a carbon powder and a dispersing agent to produce a carbon powder dispersion; (iv) mixing the core metal complex solution, the shell metal complex solution, and the carbon powder dispersion, and reducing the core metal complex and the shell metal complex on the carbon powder by using at least one reducing agent; and (v) drying and baking at a predetermined temperature the carbon powder resulting from Step (iv), said carbon powder having a core-shell structure that includes the core metal and the shell metal.

  • Patent number: 9929412
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a supported platinum catalyst, includes: generating a platinum group salt solution using platinum group salts and a complexing agent; mixing the platinum group salt solution and a carbon powder dispersion in which carbon powder is dispersed; and adding a reducing agent to a mixed solution of the platinum group salt solution and the carbon powder dispersion, and reducing the platinum group salts to allow the platinum group particles to be supported on the carbon powder.
