[0002] PEM membrane electrode is a core component in hydrogen fuel cells and certain types of water electrolysis systems. In hydrogen fuel cells, PEM membrane electrode is responsible for the migration and transmission of protons, enabling protons to move from the anode to the cathode while electrons flow through an external circuit to generate current. PEM membrane electrode consists of proton exchange membrane, anode and cathode GDL and frame.

[0003] 3CCM contains a proton exchange membrane and two layers of catalytic coating. 3CCM is sandwiched between two layers of frame membrane to form a five-layer membrane electrode. At present, due to the difficulty of laminating the roll and sheet materials, the existing five-layer membrane electrode forming method is mainly to first cut the raw material roll into sheets through a cutting process, and then perform a hot flat pressing process between the sheets, resulting in overall process redundancy and low automation rate, thus leading to low processing efficiency.
