摘要:
An adhesive layer 3 is disposed between a carbon particle 2 and a catalyst substance 1 of a catalyst-supporting particle for a fuel cell containing the carbon particle 2 and the catalyst substance 1. Thereby, the catalyst-supporting particle for fuel cell can be obtained in which a contact resistance between the catalyst substance and the carbon particle supporting the same is lower, and the aggregation of the catalyst substance is suppressed. A catalyst electrode for a fuel cell and the fuel cell using the above particle have a higher output power and an excellent durability.

A fuel cartridge in a fuel cell is constructed so as to be removably mounted to a fuel cell body. The fuel cartridge is constructed so that a high-concentration fuel tank and a mixing tank are detachably connected at a fitting section. A low-concentration fuel, a recovered fuel recovered from a fuel container, and a high-concentration fuel in the high-concentration fuel tank are mixed in the mixing tank to be a fuel at a predetermined concentration of fuel component, and then the fuel is supplied to the fuel container.

A fuel cell includes a fuel cell main unit (101), a fuel holder (334) and a transforming section (335). The fuel cell main unit (101) includes a fuel electrode (102) and an oxidant electrode (108), and generates electric power based on supplying of organic liquid fuel (124) to the fuel electrode (102) and oxidant (126) to the oxidant electrode (108). The fuel holder (334) stores the organic liquid fuel (124) and supplies the organic liquid fuel (124) to the fuel electrode (102). The transforming section (335) transforms the organic liquid fuel (124) into vapor or mist (337). The fuel holder (334) supplies the vapor or the mist (337) to the fuel electrode (102).
摘要:
The present invention provides a catalyst electrode and a manufacturing method of the same. When the catalyst electrode is used for a fuel cell, it is capable of suppressing an air, which is a by-product generated at a fuel electrode on a surface of the electrode, and quickly removing the adsorbed bubble-like air. Accordingly, the catalyst electrode is capable of increasing an effective catalyst surface of the fuel electrode and enhancing an output power of the fuel cell. Moreover, the present invention provides fuel cell and a manufacturing method of the same. The fuel cell is capable of suppressing an air, which is a by-product generated at the fuel electrode on the surface of the electrode and quickly removing the adsorbed bubble-like air. Accordingly, the fuel cell is capable of increasing an effective catalyst surface of the fuel electrode and enhancing an output power thereof. In a catalyst electrode for a fuel cell provided with a substrate and a catalyst layer which is formed on the substrate and which contains a carbon particle carrying a catalyst and a solid polymer electrolyte, the substrate or the catalyst layer contains one or more kinds of anti-foaming agent.

The present invention provides a fuel cell which is small-sized and light-weight for mounting in a mobile device, and has a high output-density. A current-collector 421 of a fuel electrode (or a current-collector 423 of an oxidizer electrode) is bonded to a substrate 104 (or a substrate 110) of a fuel electrode 102 (or an oxidizer electrode 108) in a fuel cell 100, rendering the current-collector 421 (or the current-collector 423) to be thin and light-weight, and making it no longer necessary to use an end plate and a fastener. Fuel or oxidizer is supplied directly to a surface of the current-collector 421 or 423.

An adhesion layer containing a second solid polymer electrolyte is disposed between a solid polymer electrolyte membrane and a fuel electrode and/or an oxidant electrode containing a first solid polymer electrolyte and a catalyst substance. The solid polymer electrolyte membrane and the adhesion layer are made of the same solid polymer electrolyte. In this manner, the adhesion at the interface between the electrode surface and the solid polymer electrolyte membrane is enhanced to implement the elevation of the cell characteristics and the elevation of the reliability of the cell.

The operability of a fuel cell which uses a fuel cartridge housing a liquid fuel is improved. A fuel cartridge 1400 houses a liquid fuel 124. The fuel cartridge 1400 includes a gas-liquid separation film 1408 which divides a fuel housing section 1402 into a liquid housing chamber 1402a and a gas housing chamber 1402b. A fuel gas, which is the vaporized liquid fuel, is housed in the gas housing chamber 1402b. A gas exhaust pipe 1410 is connected to the gas housing chamber 1402b, and the fuel gas housed in the gas housing chamber 1402b is discharged to outside the fuel cartridge 1400 via a gas discharge port 1414.

摘要:
A liquid fuel supply type fuel cell is provided in which water present in the oxidizer electrode is promptly removed and evaporated, thereby achieving high output. A fuel cell electrode and methods for manufacturing the same are also provided. In a fuel cell, a base material is provided with a hydrophobic layer on the surface in contact with a catalyst layer for discharging water promptly, and a hydrophilic layer from the hydrophobic layer towards the outside of the cell for evaporating water which has passed through the hydrophobic layer from the surface.
