Electrode for polymer electrolyte fuel cell e.g. for electric vehicle or motorized wheelchair, has solid polymer electrolyte membrane, electrode layers and reinforcing members integrally formed by sealing member

摘要

The electrode has: (i) a solid polymer electrolyte membrane (11); (ii) electrode layers (12, 13) formed on respective faces of the membrane; (iii) reinforcing members (14) that cover respective outer surfaces of the electrode layers; and (iv) sealing member (15) that covers the reinforcing members. The electrolyte membrane, electrode layers, and reinforcing members are formed by the sealing member. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a polymer electrolyte fuel cell comprising the above electrode, and an anode and a cathode side separators arranged on both sides of the electrode; (2) a separator for the above polymer electrolyte fuel cell; and (3) a generating system comprising a hydrogen gas-storing apparatus or a gas-producing apparatus that produces a hydrogen-containing gas from a hydrocarbon fuel, and the above polymer electrolyte fuel cell.
