Conventionally, a manufacturing method of an electrolyte structure in which a catalyst material is transferred to a substrate with a film formed by forming an electrolyte membrane on the surface of the substrate has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-196070 (FIG. 1)

特許文献1を次図に基づいて説明する。
図10は従来の技術の基本構成を説明する図であり、電解質構造体の製造装置100は、電解質膜101を巻き出す巻き出しローラ102と、触媒材103を一面に担持する触媒担持フィルム104を巻き出す巻き出しローラ105と、加熱加圧ローラ107、107及び剥離ローラ109と、触媒付電解質膜111を巻き取る巻き取りローラ112と、剥離したフィルム108を巻き取る巻き取りローラ113を備え、加熱し加圧した加熱加圧ローラ107、107で電解質膜101と触媒担持フィルム104を一体化した後、剥離ローラ109で触媒材103をフィルム108から外すことにより触媒付電解質膜111を得るという装置である。

しかし、電解質膜101は吸湿性及び撥水性に富んでいるため、湿分を大量に吸湿又は脱湿すると電解質101が膨張又は収縮する量は大きくなる。
湿分を大量に吸湿又は脱湿することにより、電解質膜101上に一体化した触媒材103が剥離したり、電解質膜101が反ったり、あるいは、電解質膜101上の触媒材103にしわが発生するなどの問題が残る。
触媒材103の剥離、しわや電解質膜101の反りの発生を抑制することが望まれる。
However, since the electrolyte membrane 101 is rich in moisture absorption and water repellency, when the moisture is absorbed or dehumidified in a large amount, the amount that the electrolyte 101 expands or contracts increases.
By absorbing or dehumidifying a large amount of moisture, the catalyst material 103 integrated on the electrolyte membrane 101 is peeled off, the electrolyte membrane 101 is warped, or the catalyst material 103 on the electrolyte membrane 101 is wrinkled. Problems such as remain.

Returning to FIG. 2, a tape applying step of attaching the edge of the electrolyte membrane 22 to the base material 21 with the anti-peeling tape 31 between the step of preparing the base material with film 23 and the step of applying the first catalyst material 43. 12, the adhesive strength of the edge 22b of the electrolyte membrane 22 to the base material 21 can be greatly improved, and the electrolyte membrane 22 can be prevented from peeling off from the base material 21.

電解質膜22の縁22bの基材21への接着強度が大幅に向上するため、第1触媒材43を塗布時に電解質膜22が湿分を吸着して膨張し、基材21と電解質膜22の間に応力が発生した場合においても、剥離防止テープ31が電解質膜22を支持するため、基材21からの電解質膜22の剥離や電解質膜22の反りなどを防止することができる。   Since the adhesion strength of the edge 22b of the electrolyte membrane 22 to the base material 21 is greatly improved, the electrolyte membrane 22 absorbs moisture and expands when the first catalyst material 43 is applied, and the base material 21 and the electrolyte membrane 22 Even when stress is generated in the meantime, the peeling prevention tape 31 supports the electrolyte membrane 22, so that peeling of the electrolyte membrane 22 from the substrate 21, warping of the electrolyte membrane 22, and the like can be prevented.

加えて、この剥離防止テープ31、31を基材21の代わりに使用することができれば、電解質膜22のおもて面44(図5参照)に第1触媒材43を塗布した後、電解質膜22のうら面45に第2触媒材43を塗布する第2塗布工程18(図7参照)に連続的に供給することができる。   In addition, if the peeling prevention tapes 31, 31 can be used instead of the base material 21, after the first catalyst material 43 is applied to the front surface 44 (see FIG. 5) of the electrolyte membrane 22, the electrolyte membrane 22 can be continuously supplied to the second application step 18 (see FIG. 7) in which the second catalyst material 43 is applied to the back surface 45.

この結果、1つのラインで電解質膜22のおもて面44及びうら面45に触媒材43、53が塗布可能となり、電解質構造体60の製造コストを低減すると共に、必要なラインスペースを節減することができる。   As a result, the catalyst materials 43 and 53 can be applied to the front surface 44 and the back surface 45 of the electrolyte membrane 22 in one line, reducing the manufacturing cost of the electrolyte structure 60 and reducing the necessary line space. be able to.

図9は図1の別実施例図であり、基材21の表面に電解質膜22B・・・(・・・は複数を示す。)を形成してなる膜付部材23Bは、ロール状のロール部材24Bの形で供給されるものであり、このロール部材24Bを巻き出すことにより膜付部材23Bを準備する。
図1と異なる点は、基材21の片面21aに形成した電解質膜22B・・・は、ロール部材24Bの巻き出し方向に、断続的に配置する点である。
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing another embodiment of FIG. 1, and a membrane-attached member 23 </ b> B formed by forming an electrolyte membrane 22 </ b> B (... indicates a plurality) on the surface of a substrate 21 is a roll-shaped roll. It is supplied in the form of a member 24B, and the film-coated member 23B is prepared by unwinding the roll member 24B.
The difference from FIG. 1 is that the electrolyte membranes 22B formed on one surface 21a of the base material 21 are intermittently arranged in the unwinding direction of the roll member 24B.
