Abstract
An electrocatalyst material comprising: (i) a support material comprising a plurality of individual support particles or aggregates; (ii) first particles comprising a first metal and an alloying metal; and (iii) second particles consisting of a second metal or a second metal oxide, wherein the second metal is platinum or iridium; wherein each individual support particle or aggregate has dispersed thereon first particles and second particles, characterised in that the mean average particle size of the second particles is smaller than the mean average particle size of the first particles is disclosed. The electrocatalyst material has particular use in an electrode, such as the cathode, of an electrochemical cell, such as a fuel cell.
