Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An object is to provide a technique that improves the power generation performance, while enhancing the strength of a reinforced electrolyte membrane. There is provided a method of manufacturing a reinforced electrolyte membrane that comprises a first reinforcing film on one surface of an electrolyte membrane and a second reinforcing film on the other surface of the electrolyte membrane. The method of manufacturing the reinforced electrolyte membrane comprises (a) process of thermally compressing the first reinforcing film and the second reinforcing film to the electrolyte membrane. In the process (a), a number of times of thermally compressing the second reinforcing film to the electrolyte membrane is less than a number of times of thermally compressing the first reinforcing film to the electrolyte membrane.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A membrane electrode assembly, comprising: a reinforced electrolyte membrane that comprises an electrolyte membrane, a first reinforcing film placed on one surface of the electrolyte membrane and a second reinforcing film placed on the other surface of the electrolyte membrane; an anode catalyst layer that is placed on a surface of a side of the reinforced electrolyte membrane on which the first reinforcing film is placed; and a cathode catalyst layer that is placed on a surface of a side of the reinforced electrolyte membrane on which the second reinforcing film is placed, wherein the second reinforcing film has a lower surface elastic modulus than a surface elastic modulus of the first reinforcing film.
