wherein, in the composition for electrospinning, a content of the second inorganic particles is greater than or equal to 70 wt % and less than or equal to 80 wt % based upon a weight sum of the second inorganic particles and the binder resin.

2. The method for manufacturing an electrolyte membrane for a solid oxide fuel cell of claim 1 , wherein the second inorganic particles of the composition for electrospinning include the same inorganic particles as at least a part of the first inorganic particles of the electrolyte membrane composition.

3. The method for manufacturing an electrolyte membrane for a solid oxide fuel cell of claim 1 , wherein the first inorganic particles and the second inorganic particles each have oxygen ion conductivity of 0.01 S/cm or greater at 600° C.

4. The method for manufacturing an electrolyte membrane for a solid oxide fuel cell of claim 1 , further comprising drying the electrolyte membrane after the forming of the electrolyte membrane.

5. The method for manufacturing an electrolyte membrane for a solid oxide fuel cell of claim 4 , wherein the forming of the electrospinning layer forms an electrospinning layer by laminating an electrospinning layer, which is formed by electrospinning with the composition for electrospinning on a releasable substrate, on at least one surface of the dried electrolyte membrane, and then removing the releasable substrate; or forms an electrospinning layer by electrospinning with the composition for electrospinning on at least one surface of the dried electrolyte membrane.

6. The method for manufacturing an electrolyte membrane for a solid oxide fuel cell of claim 5 , wherein the electrospinning layer and the electrolyte membrane are sintered at the same time after the forming of the electrospinning layer.

7. The method for manufacturing an electrolyte membrane for a solid oxide fuel cell of claim 1 , wherein the forming of the electrospinning layer forms an electrospinning layer by laminating an electrospinning layer, which is formed by electrospinning with the composition for electrospinning on a releasable substrate, on at least one surface of the sintered electrolyte membrane, and then removing the releasable substrate; or forms an electrospinning layer by electrospinning with the composition for electrospinning on at least one surface of the sintered electrolyte membrane.
