    摘要: A membrane electrode assembly includes a pair of electrodes, each having a feeder layer that is porous and made of a conductive material, and an electrolyte membrane disposed between the pair of electrodes. At least one of the electrodes has a catalyst layer disposed in the feeder layer. In a cross section of the feeder layer, an electrolyte exists in a first region less than or equal to 80% of a thickness of the feeder layer from the electrolyte membrane toward an opposite direction to the electrolyte membrane, the catalyst layer exists at 50% or more of an outer circumference of a cross section of the conductive material in the first region, and the catalyst layer exists at 10% or less of the outer circumference of the cross section of the conductive material in a second region other than the first region.

    摘要: A membrane electrode assembly of an embodiment includes: a first electrode having a first base, and a first catalyst layer provided on the first base, the first catalyst layer including a plurality of first catalyst units with a laminated structure, and the laminated structure including void layers; and an electrolyte membrane being in direct contact with both first surfaces of the first catalyst units facing each other among the first catalyst units, and second surfaces of the first catalyst units on the opposite side from the first base side. A portion is included where the electrolyte membrane exists over a region being at least 80% of a thickness of the first catalyst layer from the second surfaces of the first catalyst units toward the first base.
