NOVELTY - A die-cut catalyst decal comprises a liner layer and a co-extensive catalyst layer. The catalyst layer comprises particulate catalyst metal. The decal has a perimeter that is a shape other than a four-sided parallelogram.    USE - For making substrates laminated on one or two sides with scissor-cut sheets of laminate for membrane electrodes of polymer electrolyte fuel cell.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for:    (a) a die-cut electrode comprising a fluid transport layer and co-extensive catalyst layer;    (b) a method of making a die-cut catalyst decal comprising die-cutting a web of catalyst decal material;    (c) a method of making a die-cut electrode comprising die-cutting web of electrode material;    (d) a membrane (110) comprising membrane electrode assemblies comprising a polymer electrolyte membrane having first and second face; first patterned catalyst layer segments laminated on the first face of the membrane such that adjacent patterned catalyst layer segments are not in contact with each other and second patterned catalyst layer segments laminated on the second face of the membrane such that adjacent patterned catalyst layer segments are not in contact with each other, where each of the first patterned catalyst layer segments has a perimeter and each of the second patterned catalyst layer segments has a perimeter which in accurate registration with a perimeter of an opposing first patterned catalyst layer segment;    (e) a continuous web containing membrane electrode assemblies comprising polymer electrolyte membrane having first and second face; first and second patterned catalyst layer segments;    (f) a method of making a membrane electrode assembly comprising providing a web of polymer electrolyte membrane material; providing a laminating station where the web of polymer electrolyte membrane material is drawn between a pair of laminating rollers which form a laminating nip; die-cutting a first web of first catalyst decal material; die-cutting a second web of second catalyst decal material; transporting the first catalyst decal to the laminating station; transporting the second catalyst decal to the laminating station; feeding the first and second catalyst decals into the laminating nip adjacent to the web of polymer electrolyte membrane material; and laminating the first catalyst decal; and    (g) an apparatus for making a membrane electrode comprising a lamination station; first and second vacuum conveyor; and first and second rotary die station (10, 20).
