Abstract

A polymer electrolyte membrane of the present disclosure comprises a perfluorosulfonic acid resin (A), wherein the polymer electrolyte membrane has a phase-separation structure having a phase where fluorine atoms are detected in majority and a phase where carbon atoms are detected in majority, in an image of a membrane surface observed under an SEM-EDX, and the polymer electrolyte membrane has a phase having an average aspect ratio of 1.5 or more and 10 or less in an image of a membrane cross-section observed under an SEM.
