Abstract: To provide a membrane-electrode assembly including a catalyst layer that includes a catalyst-supporting carrier in which a catalyst is supported on a carrier made of an inorganic oxide, and a highly hydrophobic substance having a higher degree of hydrophobicity than the inorganic oxide, the catalyst layer being formed on at least one surface of a polymer electrolyte membrane. It is preferable that, in the membrane-electrode assembly, the degree of hydrophobicity of the highly hydrophobic substance is from 0.5 vol % to 45 vol % at 25° C., the degree of hydrophobicity being defined as a concentration of methanol (vol %) when a light transmittance of a dispersion obtained by dispersing the highly hydrophobic substance in a mixed solution of water and methanol reaches 80%.

Abstract: A method for forming an electrode catalyst layer by putting catalyst ink within an insulative container having a conductive nozzle in communication with the interior of the container and applying an electrospray voltage to the nozzle to cause electrospray of the catalyst ink through the tip end of the nozzle and thereby to form an electrode catalyst layer, the method includes preparing catalyst ink containing a mixture of at least electrode catalyst, polymer electrolyte binder and volatile organic compound and/or water, putting the catalyst ink within the container with a space remaining inside thereof and air-tightly sealing the container, and electrospraying with the space inside of the air-tightly sealed container being conditioned to have a negative pressure of a level at which the catalyst ink cannot drip off from the nozzle.

Abstract: A cell includes: a membrane electrode assembly; and a pair of separators. The membrane electrode assembly includes a polymer electrolyte membrane, an anode catalyst layer on a first main surface of the polymer electrolyte membrane, and a cathode catalyst layer on a second main surface. The anode catalyst layer contains a first catalyst material having activity against a hydrogen oxidation reaction and a first electrically conductive material whose electrical resistance under a hydrogen atmosphere and under an oxygen atmosphere are different from each other. The cathode catalyst layer contains a second catalyst material having activity against an oxygen reduction reaction and a second electrically conductive material different from the first electrically conductive material. An electrical resistance of the cell when the anode catalyst layer is under oxygen atmosphere is more than twice the electrical resistance of the cell when the anode catalyst layer is under hydrogen atmosphere.
