    摘要: A highly reliable polymer electrolyte fuel cell is provided at low costs by using a sealing member that is compact and has excellent gas tightness. The polymer electrolyte fuel cell includes an anode-side separator plate and a cathode-side separator plate that are provided with an anode-side sealing member and a cathode-side sealing member, respectively. These anode-side and cathode-side sealing members seal the cell in cooperation with a polymer electrolyte membrane at sealing parts where the anode-side and cathode-side sealing members are opposed to each other, thereby preventing gas from leaking out of gas flow channels. One of the anode-side and cathode-side sealing members has a pointed rib that comes in contact with the sealing parts in a linear manner, and the other sealing member comes in contact with the sealing parts surface to surface.

    摘要: A fuel cell having high operation performance and reliability is provided by optimizing the shape and properties of a gas diffusion layer and the dimensions of a gas flow channel. The fuel cell is capable of evenly supplying a reaction gas to the catalyst of a catalyst layer and promptly discharging excessive water generated therein. The gas diffusion layer of the MEA of this fuel cell comprises a first section having a surface A that comes in direct contact with a separator plate and a second section having a surface B that faces the gas flow channel of the separator plate. The porosity of the first section is lower than the porosity of the second section, and the second section protrudes into the gas flow channel. The gas flow channel has sufficient width and depth for the protrusion of the gas diffusion layer, and the width of a rib formed by the gas flow channel is sufficiently narrow.
