Polymer electrolyte membrane, membrane electrode assembly, water electrolyzer, and method for producing polymer electrolyte membrane

Abstract

To provide a polymer electrolyte membrane which is excellent in the strength and the surface property, and which can achieve a low membrane resistance when applied to a water electrolyzer, a membrane electrode assembly, a water electrolyzer, and a method for producing the polymer electrolyte membrane. A polymer electrolyte membrane comprising a fluorinated polymer having ion exchange groups and a nonwoven fabric, wherein the nonwoven fabric contains polyphenylene sulfide fibers; in a fiber diameter distribution histogram of fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric, the maximum frequency peak appears in a range of 100 to 900 nm; and the polymer electrolyte membrane has a thickness of 30 to 90 μm.
