Abstract: A membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) for fuel cells includes an electricity-generating array including an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte membrane. A subgasket array includes an anode subgasket surrounding a periphery of the anode and a cathode subgasket surrounding a periphery of the cathode. A junction array includes a polar junction and a nonpolar junction surrounding a periphery of the electrolyte membrane and attaching the anode subgasket and the cathode subgasket to each other.

Abstract: The present invention provides a gas diffusion layer for a fuel cell vehicle with improved operational stability, the gas diffusion layer, which functions to supply hydrogen and air (oxygen) as reactant gases to a fuel cell stack, discharge product water generated by an electrochemical reaction, and transmit generated electricity, being formed with a thinned structure. For this purpose, the present invention provides a gas diffusion layer for a fuel cell vehicle with improved operational stability, the gas diffusion layer being formed with a dual layer structure including a microporous layer and a macroporous substrate, the macroporous substrate being formed of a material selected from the group consisting of carbon fiber felt and carbon fiber paper, the gas diffusion layer being thinned to have a thickness of 200 to 300 ?m at 25 kPa and a thickness of 170 to 250 ?m at 1 MPa, a density of 0.20 to 0.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for reverse activation of a fuel cell, which can improve fuel cell performance by performing a first fuel cell activation process and then performing a second fuel cell activation process in which a hydrogen inlet and a hydrogen outlet of the fuel cell are shifted to an air (or oxygen) inlet and an air (or oxygen) outlet of the fuel cell.
