摘要:
In a membrane-electrode assembly comprising an anode, a cathode and a polymer electrolyte membrane and having a constitution in which the polymer electrolyte membrane is interleaved between the anode and the cathode, an agglomerate structure of carbon support formed with a plurality of carbon primary particles supporting catalyst particles is contained in the anode and the cathode, and particulate media having polymer electrolyte on the surface thereof are contained between adjacent agglomerate structures of carbon supports.
摘要:
Disclosed is a fuel cell in which a membrane electrode assembly less undergoes increase in ion conduction resistance, and a polymer electrolyte membrane less undergoes deterioration. Specifically, the polymer electrolyte membrane includes a first membrane and a second membrane being two different membranes composed of polymer electrolytes having different ion-exchange capacities, in which the first membrane has an area of one surface thereof equal to or larger than an area of one surface of an anode or a cathode, and the second membrane has an area of one surface thereof smaller than that of the first membrane and is arranged in a gas inflow region on a side being in contact with the cathode. The second membrane has an ion-exchange capacity smaller than that of the first membrane or has a number-average molecular weight larger than that of the first membrane.
