Abstract:
1. A method for producing a fuel cell assembly containing a membrane electrode assembly and a resin frame for supporting the membrane electrode assembly, wherein the membrane electrode assembly contains an anode and a cathode with a solid polymer electrolyte membrane interposed therebetween, the method comprising the steps of: placing the electrolyte membrane and one of the anode and the cathode in a recess, which extends from one surface toward another surface of the resin frame, and placing the other of the anode and the cathode in a housing hole, which is formed as a through-hole that extends from a bottom surface or a ceiling surface of the recess to the other surface; heating a protrusion on an outer surface of the recess or the housing hole to generate a softened material, and pressing the protrusion in order to introduce the softened material into the anode or the cathode; and hardening the softened material, which is introduced into the anode or the cathode, so as to bond the resin frame to the anode or the cathode.
