Abstract
A method for producing a membrane electrode assembly for a fuel cell comprising a proton exchange polymer membrane, catalyst layers, and first and second gas diffusion layers, the method comprising the following steps: a) forming a catalytic layer coating on a first surface of the membrane, the opposite surface being supported by a spacer; b) forming a catalytic layer coating on a first surface of the first gas diffusion layer; c) bringing the first surface of the first gas diffusion layer into contact with the surface opposite to the said first surface of the membrane, after removing the spacer, and bringing the first surface of the membrane into contact with a surface of the second gas diffusion layer.
