Abstract

Provided are an oxygen reduction catalyst having a high electrode potential under a fuel cell operating environment, an electrode containing the oxygen reduction catalyst, a membrane electrode assembly in which a cathode is the electrode, and a fuel cell including the membrane electrode assembly. The oxygen reduction catalyst used here contains cobalt, sulfur, and oxygen as elements, has a CoS2 cubic structure in powder X-ray diffractometry, and having an S—Co/S—O peak area ratio of 6 to 15 in an S2p spectrum in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis.
