A new fabrication method of membrane electrode assembly (MEA) for proton exchange membrane fuel cells is developed by using perfluorosulfonyl fluoride copolymer powder and Pt/C catalyst. The perfluorosulfonyl fluoride copolymer powder is pressed into a sheet at 230 degrees C by hot pressing. The Pt/C catalyst is then coated on to either side of the sheet by screen printing, followed by hot pressing. During this process, due to the melt-fabricable property of the pre-formed sheet, the coated catalyst layer is embedded into the membrane. The resultant MEA is converted into perfluorosulfonate polymer by hydrolysis of NaOH solution. The thermal property of the copolymer powder has been analyzed by DTA-TGA, and the interfacial contact of the catalyst with the membrane has been also investigated by SEM. The performance characteristics of the MEA have been evaluated in a single cell.
