摘要:
The present invention provides a polymer electrolyte fuel cell stack that includes a cell laminate having a plurality of unit cells, which are laid one upon another and each of which includes a polymer electrolyte membrane, a pair of electrodes that are arranged across the polymer electrolyte membrane and respectively have a catalytic reaction layer, a separator having means for feeding a supply of fuel gas containing hydrogen gas to one of the electrodes, and another separator having means for feeding a supply of oxidant gas to the other of the electrodes. In the polymer electrolyte fuel cell stack, a sealing portion is disposed at least in the vicinity of each electrode. The polymer electrolyte fuel cell stack of the present invention has excellent durability and productivity. Gasket sealing portions, a sealing portion for cooling water, and sealing portions for water and gas in an internal humidifying unit are constituted by a polymer compound that has polyisobutylene as the backbone structure. This arrangement ensures the high reliability.

摘要:
A method for activating a polymer electrolyte type fuel cell comprising at least one unit cell which is configured by including a proton conductive polymer electrolyte, an electrode layer having a catalytic activity arranged on the both faces of said polymer electrolyte membrane and a gas-supplying path is disclosed. This method comprises at least one of the step (a) of enhancing the catalytic activity of said electrode and the step (b) of giving a wetting condition to said polymer electrolyte. According to the present invention, it is possible to readily activate the fuel cell and to cause the same to demonstrate a high cell performance.
摘要:
A stable ion-conductive polymer electrolyte having a sufficiently high ionic conductivity, which will not be decreased during a long-term storing at a high temperature, and being free from any physical change such as crack, contraction and dissolution, is disclosed. It comprises: at least one polyol selected from the group consisting of an adduct composed of sorbitol and polyethylene oxide and an adduct composed of tetramethylol methane and polyethylene oxide, at least one ammonium salt or morpholinium salt, and at least one organic solvent.
