Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are an electrode slurry for a fuel cell capable of forming a multilayer structure without an interface using a first support and a second support having different mesopore fractions and densities, a multilayer electrode structure using the same, and a manufacturing method thereof. The electrode slurry for a fuel cell includes a first catalyst including a first support on which a first metal is supported, a second catalyst including a second support on which a second metal is supported, an ionomer, and a solvent, the first support and the second support having different mesopore fractions and densities.
