    Abstract: A membrane electrode assembly includes a polyelectrolyte membrane having a first surface and a second surface facing away from the first surface; a fuel-electrode-side electrocatalyst layer bonded to the first surface and containing a first catalytic material, a first electrically conductive carrier, and a first polyelectrolyte, the first electrically conductive carrier carrying the first catalytic material; and an oxygen-electrode-side electrocatalyst layer bonded to the second surface and containing a second catalytic material, a second electrically conductive carrier, a second polyelectrolyte, and a fibrous material, the second electrically conductive carrier carrying the second catalytic material. The membrane electrode assembly contains voids, the voids including pores each having a size in a range of 3 nm or more and 5.5 μm or less.

    Abstract: A membrane-electrode assembly including a polymer electrolyte membrane, and electrocatalyst layers disposed on both surfaces of the polymer electrolyte membrane, with a total light transmittance measured after delamination of both the electrocatalyst layers by using an adhesive member is 40% or less. The total light transmittance is at an electrocatalyst layer located part, when a total light transmittance at an electrocatalyst layer non-located part is taken to be 100%. The viscous member has an adhesive force of 3 N/10 mm or more when measured by pulling the viscous member adhered to a stainless steel in a 180°angle direction relative to the stainless steel, for delamination from the stainless steel.
