摘要： An electrolyte membrane includes a nanocomposite ion complex that is a reaction product of a nanocomposite with a basic polymer. The nanocomposite includes a polymer having a sulfonic acid group and an unmodified clay. Either the unmodified clay has a layered structure and is dispersed in the polymer having the sulfonic acid group, and the polymer is intercalated between layers of the clay or the unmodified clay has an exfoliated structure and the exfoliated layers of the unmodified clay are dispersed in the polymer. The electrolyte membrane shows high mechanical strength, high ionic conductivity, and excellent methanol crossover impeding properties even when the degree of sulfonation of the polymer having the sulfonic acid group is high. When a methanol aqueous solution is used as a fuel, the fuel cell including the electrolyte membrane has a low methanol crossover, and thus, has a high operational efficiency and a long lifetime.

摘要： A thin membrane electrode assembly for a fuel cell includes a diffusion layer with openings and thus does not require a separate carbon substrate. The membrane electrode assembly can be used to manufacture a slim, compact fuel cell. The membrane electrode assembly also ensures a quick response and stable electric generation and lowers electrical resistance, thereby enabling a high performance fuel cell to be manufactured. In addition, since no separate carbon substrate is required, the manufacturing costs of the membrane electrode assembly are reduced.
