- FIG. 11 is a graph showing the output performance of the PEFC of the example and the PEFC of the comparative example under the same conditions in comparison. As shown in the figure, the output voltage of Example P was higher and more stable than the output voltage of Comparative Example Q.
- the MEA 1, the manufacturing method of the MEA 1, and the PEF C100 using the MEA 1 are in the assembled state of the PEFC 100!
- the flow of the fuel gas and the oxidant gas in the MEA main body peripheral gap 40 It can be cut off or suppressed, and as a result, the utilization efficiency of fuel gas and oxidant gas can be increased, and the structure and the manufacturing method thereof are simple and suitable for mass production.
- the present invention can block or suppress the flow of the fuel gas and the oxidant gas in the peripheral gap of the MEA main body portion in the assembled state of the polymer electrolyte fuel cell.
- MEA, its manufacturing method, and a polymer electrolyte fuel cell using the MEA, which can improve the efficiency of use of the agent gas, have a simple structure and manufacturing method, and are suitable for mass production Useful as.
