<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reinforce mechanical strength of a polymer electrolyte membrane while restraining degradation of performance of its proton conduction and accompanying water movement. <P>SOLUTION: The polymer electrolyte membrane is provided with a reinforcing layer with a first polymer electrolyte impregnated in pores of a porous membrane, and an electrolyte layer arrayed at either side of the reinforcing layer and made of a second polymer electrolyte. The first polymer electrolyte is endowed with an ion exchange volume more than the second polymer electrolyte in a ratio corresponding to a porosity of the porous membrane. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
