ELECTRODE AND ELECTROLYTE COMPOSITE FOR FUEL CELL, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURE THEREOF

摘要

An electrode (3) comprising a porous thermoplastic resin and a metal (3b) carried thereon three-dimensionally in the form of a matrix; an electrolyte composite which comprises an electrolyte film (1) and a pair of the electrod es (3), wherein the electrode (3) comprises a porous thermoplastic resin and a metal (3b) carried thereon three-dimensionally in the form of a matrix; a method for manufacturing the electrode (3), which comprises forming a metal coating film on the surface of a number of powdery particles (3a) comprising the thermoplastic resin through metal plating, followed by pressing; and a method for manufacturing the electrolyte composite, which comprises a step o f preparing the electrode (3) by forming a metal coating film on the surface o f a number of powdery particles (3a) comprising the thermoplastic resin throug h metal plating, followed by pressing, and then, a step of joining the electrolyte film (1) to one side of the electrode (3) through the mediation of a catalyst (2) and joining two of the resulting electrolyte film (1) to each other or of joining two electrodes (3) to both surfaces of the electrolyte film (1) through the mediation of a catalyst (2).
