[Problems] Miniaturization and weight-saving of a fuel cell including a plurality of unit cells are intended together with higher integration of the unit cells. [Means for Solving Problems] A pair of electrode sheet 100a, 100b, each having a plurality of fuel electrodes 110a, 110b or a plurality of oxidant electrodes 112a, 112b supported by a resin section 102, are disposed on a single plane on the respective surfaces of a solid electrolyte membrane 105 to configure a plurality of unit cells. The fuel electrode and the oxidant electrode of the adjacent two unit cells existing on the respective surfaces of the solid electrolyte membrane are connected in series by using an electroconductive member penetrating the solid electrolyte membrane. Since the electroconductive member 108 extends along the stacking direction of the cell, no excess space is required to achieve the miniaturization of the fuel cell.

A polymer electrolyte fuel cell includes a power generation part as an electrolyte membrane-electrode assembly formed of a solid polymer electrolyte membrane, a fuel electrode arranged in contact with one side of the solid polymer electrolyte membrane and an oxygen electrode arranged in contact with the other side of the membrane, and a fuel supply part for storing and supplying an alcohol fuel to the fuel electrode. The fuel supply part is composed of a high-concentration fuel tank for storing and supplying a highly-concentrated fuel and a water fuel tank for storing and supplying a water fuel. The fuel is gasified and supplied to the power generation part through a fuel gasification/supply layer provided between at least the high-concentration fuel tank and the fuel electrode.
摘要:
A fuel cell system which allows uniform fuel distribution to respective fuel cells, comprising: a plurality of fuel cells 5 each including an anode 2, a cathode 3 and an electrolyte membrane 4 disposed between the anode 2 and the cathode 3; and a fuel supply flow path 6 branched to supply fuel to each of the fuel cells 5. The sectional area of the fuel supply flow path in the downstream of each branch connection is narrower than that in the upstream. The above-described structure avoids the decrease in the fuel supply pressure due to the reduced sectional area in the downstream of the branch connection. Therefore, the fuel is supplied to the respective fuel cell with uniform pressure.

A fuel cell is provided which can supply the stable power and has higher reliability and a longer period of life without the influence of the circumstances and the operation conditions. An absorbent disposed near an oxidant electrode of a fuel cell including a fuel electrode and the oxidant electrode approaches to the vicinity of or is in contact with the oxidant electrode surface or departs from the oxidant electrode. Thereby, the absorbent removes moisture on the oxidant electrode so that the fuel cell which can supply the stable power with the higher reliability and the longer period of life can be provided.

A liquid supply container is provided which includes a liquid storage portion (11) for storing liquid therein, having a pair of side walls (13A and 13B) arranged to face each other. The liquid storage portion has a supply port (12) arranged on a wall different from the pair of side walls for supplying the liquid to an object. Each of the side walls of the liquid storage portion has a gusseted structure. A rigid member (18A, 19A, 18B, 19B) is arranged between a fold line (15A, 15B) of the gusseted structure and an edge (16A, 17A, 16B, 17B) substantially parallel to the fold line.

Even when a temperature is lowered, a temperature of a fuel cell is raised, thereby improving the availability. In a fuel cell 1311, a combustion unit 1303 is provided in contact with a unit cell structure 101. In addition, a fuel tank 1309 is provided in contact with a fuel electrode 102 constituting the unit cell structure 101 and supplies a fuel 124 to the fuel electrode 102 directly. A part of the fuel 124 is supplied to the combustion unit 1303 from an combustion fuel discharging exit 1315 provided in the fuel tank 1309 via a combustion fuel supply pipe 1313.
