Disclosed are an electrolyte membrane of a membrane-electrode assembly including an electronic insulation layer, which greatly improves the durability of the electrolyte membrane, and a method of preparing the same. The electrolyte membrane includes an ion exchange layer and an electronic insulation layer provided on the ion exchange layer, and the electronic insulation layer includes one or more catalyst complexes, and a second ionomer Particularly, each of the one or more catalyst complex includes a catalyst particle and a first ionomer coated on the entirety or a portion of the surface of the catalyst particle, and the one or more catalyst complexes are dispersed the second ionomer.

Electrolyte membrane of membrane-electrode assembly including electronic insulation layer and preparation method thereof

A unit cell for a fuel cell includes a membrane-electrode-assembly (MEA), a gas diffusion layer disposed on one surface of the MEA, a separator plate disposed to be spaced from the gas diffusion layer, and at least one coil spring interposed between the gas diffusion layer and the separator plate to elastically support the gas diffusion layer and the separator plate while electrically connecting the gas diffusion layer with the separator plate and providing a reactant gas passage to transfer reactant gas.

Unit cell for fuel cell

A fuel cell includes: a stack having a manifold in which a fluid flows and having a plurality of flowing spaces which communicate with the manifold through openings; a shielding part having a plurality of shielding strips arranged in a stacked direction of the stack and selectively moving along the manifold to shield at least some of the plurality of flowing spaces; and a driver coupled with the shielding part to move the shielding part.

Fuel cell and control method for the same

A stack fastening structure of a fuel cell is provided and includes a fastening mechanism that is mounted at an outside of a plurality of stacked fuel cells to generate a force pressing against the plurality of stacked fuel cells. In addition, an insertion body is mounted within the fastening mechanism to adjust the force pressing against the plurality of fuel cells. Accordingly, the fastening force is more accurately adjusted using the insertion body and the external force applied to the insertion body is measured to calculate the fastening force.
