Membrane electrode assembly fabrication

摘要

A method for fabricating MEAs employing such gas diffusion layers and or gas diffusion electrodes that address the problems attendant to conventional methods. Due to the mechanically unstable nature of the electrolyte membrane material, it is advantageous to attach or bond the electrolyte membrane material to a supportive substrate before being sized for incorporation into a fuel cell. The GDL or GDE is used as the supportive substrate for the electrolyte membrane material.
