A method for producing a resin frame equipped membrane electrode assembly includes: a first conveyance step of supporting a sheet-shaped member having a cathode and an electrolyte membrane by a resin frame member to which the sheet-shaped member is joined and linearly conveying the supported sheet-shaped member to a pressure bonding device; a second conveyance step of conveying an anode to the pressure bonding device by way of a rotary table; and a pressure bonding step of heating and pressing the cathode and the anode from above and below by the pressure bonding device to thereby integrate the cathode and the anode together.

Method for producing resin frame equipped membrane electrode assembly

A method of manufacturing an electrode sheet by using an electrode sheet manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing the electrode sheet includes a feeding step of feeding out a sheet body from a roll on which the sheet body is wound, the sheet body including an active layer containing a catalyst laminated on a support layer, and a cutting step of forming the electrode sheet by punching the sheet body by pressing a cutting blade from a side of the support layer against the sheet body that was fed out in the feeding step.

Method and apparatus for producing resin frame equipped membrane electrode assembly

A frame equipped membrane electrode assembly or a frame equipped MEA of a fuel cell includes a membrane electrode assembly or an MEA and a frame member provided on an outer peripheral portion of the MEA. A method of producing the frame equipped MEA includes a first joining step of joining a first resin frame film and a second resin frame film together in a thickness direction to form a film joint body, a welding step of spot welding a first resin sheet to a portion of the first resin frame film facing a second inlet buffer when the fuel cell is formed, to form the frame member, and a second joining step of joining the frame member to the outer peripheral portion of the MEA.

Method of producing frame equipped membrane electrode assembly, the frame equipped membrane electrode and fuel cell

A fuel cell is formed by stacking membrane electrode assemblies and metal separators. The metal separator is formed by adhering and joining together an anode separator and a cathode separator. In the metal separator, a step is provided on an outer circumferential end of the cathode separator, the step being spaced from an outer circumferential end of the anode separator. An adhesive layer is formed on the step between the outer circumferential end of the cathode separator and the outer circumferential end of the anode separator.
