NITROGEN-CONTAINING CARBON MATERIAL AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, PRECURSOR COMPOSITION FOR NITROGEN-CONTAINING CARBON MATERIAL AND ELECTRODE FOR FUEL CELL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide: a nitrogen-containing carbon material having high oxygen reduction activity and a method of producing the same; a precursor composition for a nitrogen-containing carbon material for providing the nitrogen-containing carbon material; and an electrode for a fuel cell using the nitrogen-containing carbon material.SOLUTION: There is provided a method for producing a nitrogen-containing carbon material which comprises: a first step of mixing diaminomaleonitrile, a transition metal salt and one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of a nitrogen-containing aromatic ring compound, a quinone compound and a diketone compound to obtain a precursor composition for a nitrogen-containing carbon material; and a second step of heat-treating the resulting precursor composition for a nitrogen-containing carbon material to obtain a nitrogen-containing carbon material.SELECTED DRAWING: None
