La présente invention se rapporte à un ensemble membrane-électrode, à son procédé de fabrication, et à une pile à combustible le comprenant. L'ensemble membrane-électrode comprend : une couche de catalyseur ; une couche d'adhésion interfaciale disposée sur la couche de catalyseur, une interface entre la couche d'adhésion d'interface et la couche de catalyseur pénétrant à une certaine profondeur de la couche de catalyseur ; et une membrane échangeuse d'ions disposée sur la couche d'adhésion interfaciale et se liant avec la couche de catalyseur par l'intermédiaire de la couche d'adhésion interfaciale, la couche d'adhésion interfaciale contenant un ionomère à base de fluor ayant un poids équivalent (EW) de 500 g/éq à 1000 g/éq. Dans l'ensemble membrane-électrode, le problème de détérioration de la performance de conductivité d'ions hydrogène de l'ensemble membrane-électrode peut être surmonté par l'amélioration de la liaison interfaciale et de la stabilité interfaciale entre l'électrode et la membrane échangeuse d'ions ; le croisement de gaz hydrogène peut être réduit par la réduction de la perméabilité au gaz sans augmenter la résistance interfaciale et les problèmes de liaison interfaciale ; et les performances ainsi que la durabilité dans des conditions de température élevée/faible humidité peuvent être améliorées.
