Reel-to-Reel method for making membrane electrode assemblies. A first
catalyst is deposited in a repeating cell pattern on a first side of a proton exchange
membrane film. A second catalyst is deposited on the back side of the proton exchange
membrane. An electron conductor material is deposited on a support film which is
adhered by means of an adhesive film to the proton exchange membrane film. The
various layers are aligned and laminated together to form the membrane electrode assembly.
