Methods for manufacturing an electrochemical cell and electrochemical cell

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an electrochemical cell (1), in particular an electrolysis or fuel cell, comprising a membrane (2), catalyst layers (3) arranged on both sides of the membrane (2) to form an anode and a cathode, and porous transport or gas diffusion layers (4) adjoining the catalyst layers (3). According to the invention, at least one thermosetting monomer layer (5) is introduced a) into the membrane (2) or b) between the catalyst layers (3) and the respective adjacent porous transport or gas diffusion layer (4), wherein the monomer layer (5) is continuous or interrupted in several ways. The invention further relates to an electrochemical cell (1), in particular an electrolysis or fuel cell, which can be manufactured according to a method according to the invention.
