Membrane-electrode assembly, method for preparing catalyst layer for direct coating, method for preparing membrane-electrode assembly, and fuel cell

Provided is a membrane-electrode assembly having improved binding strength between a polymer electrolyte membrane and a catalyst layer and improved durability of the catalyst layer. An embodiment of the present invention provides a membrane-electrode assembly including a polymer electrolyte membrane and a catalyst layer disposed on at least one surface of the polymer electrolyte membrane, wherein the catalyst layer contains a first composite and a second composite; the first composite contains a first catalyst containing a support and first metal particles supported on the support, and a first ionomer coated on the surface of the first catalyst; the second composite contains a second catalyst that contains second metal particles and is not supported on a support, and a second ionomer that is not coated on the surface of the second catalyst; and the first ionomer and the second ionomer are identical with or different from each other.
