A membrane electrode assembly A in a polymer electrolyte fuel cell is manufactured in a state in which no boundary is present between an electrolyte membrane 1 and an electrode catalyst layer 6. Thus, a membrane electrode assembly having high electrical efficiency in polymer electrolyte fuel cell can be obtained. Electrolyte particles 2, and electrolyte fine particles 3 and electrode catalyst particles 4, or a mixture 5 thereof, are applied onto a porous reinforced membrane 30, so as to form a laminated body 10A. The electrolyte particles 2 and the electrolyte fine particles 3 are melted by heating the laminated body 10A between heating plates 21 and 22, and the porous reinforced membrane 30 is impregnated with the molten electrolyte, so as to form a reinforced electrolyte membrane. Further, the reinforced electrolyte membrane and an electrode catalyst layer 6 including the electrode catalyst particles 4 are integrally bound to each other due to the molten electrolyte in a state in which no interlayer boundary is present, thereby forming a membrane electrode assembly A1. |
