Abstract

A method for producing a fuel cell electrode catalyst, including a step (I) of bringing an aqueous solution of a transition metal compound (1) into contact with ammonia and/or ammonia water to generate a precipitate (A) containing an atom of the transition metal, a step (II) of mixing at least the precipitate (A), an organic compound (B), and a liquid medium (C) to obtain a catalyst precursor liquid, and a step (IV) of subjecting the solid in the catalyst precursor liquid to heat treatment at a temperature of 500 to 1200° C. to obtain an electrode catalyst; a portion or the entirety of the transition metal compound (1) being a compound containing a transition metal element of group 4 or group 5 of the periodic table; and the organic compound (B) being at least one selected from sugars and the like.
