AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In PEM type water electrolysis devices, the bondability between the polymer electrolyte membrane and the catalyst layer is insufficient, leading to potential peeling during operation, which reduces the durability of the device.

Method used

An electrolyte membrane with a specific configuration, where a (B) layer with higher porosity is laminated on at least one surface of a (A) layer, creating a porosity gradient at the interface to enhance bonding properties between the membrane and the catalyst layer.

Benefits of technology

This configuration improves the bonding properties between the electrolyte membrane and the catalyst layer, resulting in enhanced durability and performance of the water electrolysis device.

Abstract

The main objective of the present invention is to provide an electrolyte membrane having good bondability with a catalyst layer, said electrolyte membrane comprising a polymer electrolyte-containing layer (A) and a layer (B) disposed on at least one surface of the layer (A), wherein the layer (B) has a higher porosity (X1) in an interface region thereof with the layer (A) than the porosity (X2) of the layer (B) in an interface region on the opposite side from the layer (A).
