On the basis, the membrane electrodes processed and produced by related companies or research institutions are generally characterized by complicated sizes, small quantity and most of the membrane electrodes need to be customized, so that the design for large-scale and standardized production cannot be well developed.
The membrane Electrode assembly (mea) is the core component of the hydrogen fuel cell, and is formed by combining the catalytic Electrode layer of the hydrogen fuel cell and the gas diffusion layer positioned at the two sides of the catalytic Electrode layer.
