Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a membrane electrode assembly wherein a fuel cell electrode layer is formed on a material and is transferred to a fuel cell electrolyte membrane. The method includes the steps of: forming a fuel cell electrode layer on a first substrate layer; cutting from the fuel cell electrode layer side using cutting means so as to reach a second substrate layer, and forming a cut of a predetermined shape in the fuel cell electrode layer and the first substrate layer; and a removal step for peeling off an outer side portion of the predetermined shape from the second substrate layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method for manufacturing a membrane electrode assembly in which a fuel cell electrode layer is formed on a substrate and transferred to a fuel cell electrolyte membrane, the method comprising: a substrate preparation step for preparing the substrate, on which a first substrate layer and a second substrate layer are laminated with a primary adhesive layer interposed therebetween; an electrode layer formation step for forming the fuel cell electrode layer on the first substrate layer; a cutting step for cutting, using cutting means, from the fuel cell electrode layer side so as to reach the second substrate layer, and forming a cut of a predetermined shape in the fuel cell electrode layer and the first substrate layer; a removal step for peeling off an outer side portion of the predetermined shape from the second substrate layer; and a transfer step for transferring the fuel cell electrode layer of predetermined shape from the substrate to the fuel cell electrolyte membrane. 2 . The method for manufacturing the membrane electrode assembly, according to claim 1 , wherein a first auxiliary substrate layer and a second auxiliary substrate layer of the first substrate layer are pasted together with an auxiliary adhesive layer interposed therebetween, and the adhesive strength of the auxiliary adhesive layer is greater than the adhesive strength of the primary adhesive layer.
