NOVELTY - Polyelectrolyte type fuel cell comprises hydrogen ion conductive polyelectrolyte film pinched between electrodes. Electrode consists of catalyst layer in contact with gas diffusion layer. Catalyst layer has electroconductive carbon particles that support noble metal catalyst, and hydrogen ion conductive polyelectrolyte absorbed on electroconductive carbon particles by freeze-drying.    USE - As fuel cells.    ADVANTAGE - The polyelectrolyte is adsorbed on catalyst during freeze-drying by removal of solvent. Hence contact area of catalyst and polyelectrolyte is increased. Thereby supply of hydrogen and oxygen gas, transmission of hydrogen ion and electron are performed smoothly and polyelectrolyte fuel cell has improved performance.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Polyelectrolyte type fuel cell comprises hydrogen ion conductive polymeric electrolyte film interposed between electrodes. The electrode consists of catalyst layer in contact with gas diffusion layer. The catalyst layer consists of electroconductive carbon particles that support noble metal catalyst, and hydrogen ion conductive polyelectrolyte. The electroconductive carbon particles absorb hydrogen ion conductive polyelectrolyte on freeze-drying. Oxidizing gas is supplied at one side of electrode via a supply slot, and hot is ejected or emitted at the other side of electrode.    An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for the manufacture of polyelectrolyte type fuel cells which involves dispersing electroconductive carbon particles supporting noble metal catalyst in hydrogen ion conductive polymer electrolyte, to form a liquid mixture, freeze-drying liquid mixture to absorb hydrogen ion conductive polyelectrolyte on electroconductive carbon particles, to form catalyst particle, dissolving prepared catalyst particles in solvent to form a catalyst layer coating material and forming a catalyst layer using the prepared catalyst layer coating material.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows the block diagram of polyelectrolyte fuel cell manufacture method. (Drawing includes non-English language text).
