  • Publication number: 20220311048
    Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing a solid electrolyte sheet, and a solid electrolyte sheet that can improve battery output performance, and can suppress interfacial peeling and short-circuiting between the solid electrolyte layer and the electrode layer. A method of manufacturing a solid electrolyte sheet includes: a first step of a base with coating slurry containing a solid electrolyte; a second step of drying the slurry on the base to form a solid electrolyte layer; a third step of stacking a sheet-like three-dimensional structure on the top surface of the solid electrolyte layer; a fourth step of coating the inside and top of the three-dimensional structure with slurry containing a solid electrolyte; and a fifth step of drying the slurry coated on the inside and on the top of the three-dimensional structure to obtain a solid electrolyte sheet filled with the solid electrolyte.

  • Publication number: 20220085385
    Abstract: This product management method manages, by a computer, a membrane electrode assembly 21 and a fuel cell stack which are manufactured through a joining step S8 of joining electrode catalyst layers 25a, 26a to gas diffusion layers 25b, 26b that use carbon paper as a base material. The product management method is provided with: steps (S2, S5) of obtaining primary feature vector data by capturing an image at a specific site of each of a plurality of gas diffusion layers and storing the obtained primary feature vector data into a storage medium; and steps (S9, S11, S12) of comparing the feature vector data, which is obtained by capturing the image at the specific site of each of the gas diffusion layers that have undergone the steps (S2, S5), with a management database stored in the storage medium.
