    摘要: A fuel cell (10) has a fuel electrode, an air electrode, an electrolyte film (15) held between the fuel electrode and the air electrode, a liquid fuel tank (21) for containing liquid fuel, and a gas-liquid separation film (22) provided between the liquid fuel tank (21) and the fuel electrode. The gas-liquid separation film (22) exchanges heat between water vapor diffused from the fuel cell and the liquid fuel (F) and allows a vaporized component of the liquid fuel (F) to pass to the fuel electrode side.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a fuel cell including: a membrane electrode assembly (2) having a fuel electrode (13), an air electrode (16), and an electrolyte membrane (17) sandwiched therebetween; and a fuel storage unit (4) storing a liquid fuel. The fuel cell is capable of continuously generating electricity for long hours only by being replenished with a fuel, and therefore, attempts have been made to miniaturize the fuel cell to use it as a power source of portable electronic devices. When the membrane electrode assembly and the fuel storage unit in the fuel cell are connected via a flow path, a fuel supply state becomes uneven depending on the shape and the like of the flow path even though a supply amount of the fuel can be adjusted, which causes a problem such as a decrease in an output of the fuel cell. The present invention solves the aforethe problem by providing, in the fuel cell, a fuel distributing mechanism (3) which supplies the fuel to a plurality of places of the fuel electrode, and connecting the fuel distributing mechanism and the fuel storage unit via the flow path (5).
