NOVELTY - A membrane electrode assembly has electrode layer(s) provided on both surface of polymer electrolyte membrane (20). The electrode layer is formed by casting and drying an ink layer (50) comprising volatile solvent, ionomer binder, electrically conductive particles and catalyst between nonporous release surface and porous releasable decal (30). The concentration of ionomer binder on exterior surface of the assembly is lower than the concentration of ionomer binder near the electrode membrane interface.    USE - Membrane electrode assembly is used for electrochemical fuel cell (claimed) and polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell used as power supply for power tools, vehicle engines, electric power plants, emergency electricity supply and portable electronics.    ADVANTAGE - The membrane electrode assembly is manufactured economically by simple process.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A membrane electrode assembly has electrode layer(s) provided on both surface of polymer electrolyte membrane. The electrode layer is formed by casting and drying an ink layer comprising volatile solvent, ionomer binder, electrically conductive particles and catalyst between nonporous release surface and porous releasable decal. The concentration of ionomer binder on exterior surface of the assembly is lower than the concentration of ionomer binder near the electrode membrane interface. Nonporous release surface of the membrane electrode assembly comprises chromium, chromium complex, silicone, siloxane, fluoropolymer, zinc stearate, talc, wax, boron nitride, graphite and/or polyolefin. The volatile solvent is chosen from alcohol, water, fluorocarbon, fluoroether, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene. The catalyst comprises platinum or a platinum alloy. The electrically conductive particles comprise carbon having Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area of 100-2000 m2/g. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for manufacture of membrane electrode assembly.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows schematic view of two porous releasable layers peeled off from electrode layers to form membrane electrode assembly.
