Abstract:
1. A membrane electrode assembly for use in fabricating a fuel cell, the assembly manufactured by a process comprising the steps of: providing an anode side diffusion layer structure having a first anode side segment and a second anode side segment, said first anode side segment and said second anode side segment coupled to a first engaging member having one or more portions configured for engagement with a feed mechanism; providing a cathode side diffusion layer structure having a first cathode side segment and a second cathode side segment, said first cathode side segment and said second cathode side segment coupled to a second engaging member having one or more portions configured for engagement with the feed mechanism; sandwiching a layer of membrane electrolyte between said anode side diffusion layer structure and said cathode side diffusion layer structure such that said first engaging member and said second engaging member are aligned to engage the feed mechanism to allow said anode side diffusion layer structure and said cathode side diffusion layer structure to be moved.
