    摘要: A method of operating a fuel cell including a fuel electrode, an oxidant electrode, and an electrolyte layer having hydrogen ion conductivity sandwiched between the fuel electrode and the oxidant electrode, so that the fuel cell generates electricity as a result of an electrochemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant. Each time the fuel cell is started from a non-operating condition, the fuel is supplied to the fuel electrode with the fuel electrode and the oxidant electrode electrically interconnected to produce hydrogen at the oxidant electrode by provoking electrochemical reactions expressed by the chemical equations H2→2H++2e− and 2H++2e−→H2 at the fuel electrode and the oxidant electrode, respectively, reducing oxides on the oxidant electrode, using the hydrogen produced at the oxidant electrode. Then, the oxidant is supplied to the oxidant electrode to begin normal continuing operation of the fuel cell.

    摘要: A fuel cell is obtained, in which oxidation degradation of a catalyst in the cathode can be prevented even if a large volume of air instantaneously penetrates into the cell, and the fuel-cell characteristics also do not deteriorate even though starting-up, shutting-down and pausing operations are repeatedly performed. As a method of controlling a fuel cell system, hydrogen-containing fuel gas is supplied to the anode and oxidant gas is supplied to the cathode, an external load is connected between the anode and the cathode so that the fuel cell generates electric power, the external load is disconnected after the power generation, a resistor is connected between the anode and the cathode, supply of the oxidant gas is stopped, and then supply of the fuel gas is stopped after the potential at the cathode has dropped to equal to or lower than the potential at which hydrogen evolution starts, so as to pause the fuel cell.

    摘要: A fuel cell including a unit cell and a separator panel alternatingly stacked on one another. The unit cell includes an electrolyte membrane sandwiched between a fuel electrode and an oxidant electrode. The separator panel includes parallel fuel flow paths extending from a fluid supply port to a fluid discharge port for supplying fluid fuel to the fuel electrode and parallel oxidant flow paths extending from a fluid supply port to a fluid discharge port for supplying oxidant fluid to the oxidant electrode. At least the oxidant flow paths include groups of parallel flow paths, which extend back and forth within divided regions of the main surface of the separator panel. The oxidant flow paths may include groups of parallel flow paths, positions along the groups of the parallel flow paths at equal distance from the respective fluid supply port being distributed substantially evenly over the main surface of the separator panel. Also, groups of parallel flow paths extend back and forth within a region defined by a projection of the divided regions through which the oxidant flow paths extend. The ridge width of ridges defined between grooves within the parallel flow path group is smaller than the ridge width of the ridges defined between the grooves of the parallel flow path group adjacent to each other.
