Abstract
A manufacturing method of MEA of the present invention includes coating a catalyst ink for first electrode catalyst layer containing an electron conducting material loading a catalyst, a polymer electrolyte, and a solvent on a substrate to form a coated layer; removing the solvent in the coated layer to form at least two types of first electrode catalyst layers having different polymer electrolyte content ratios; coating an electrolyte ink containing the polymer electrolyte and the solvent on the first electrode catalyst layer to form a coated layer; removing the solvent in the coated layer to form a polymer electrolyte layer; coating a catalyst ink for second electrode catalyst layer containing the electron conducting material loading the catalyst, the polymer electrolyte, and the solvent on the polymer electrolyte layer to form a coated layer; and removing the solvent in the coated layer to form a second electrode catalyst layer.
