摘要:
A method for fabricating a seal-integrated separator for a fuel cell is presented, with which seals can be accurately positioned and the assembling time for the fuel cell units may be greatly reduced. The method comprises the steps of: forming a through hole in the separator body; providing a first mold having grooves respectively positioned corresponding to the inner and outer seals disposed on one side of the separator body, a connecting cavity for forming a seal bridge at least partially connecting the inner and outer seals to each other at a position corresponding to the through hole, and at least one gate communicating with each of the grooves, and a second mold having grooves respectively positioned corresponding to the inner and outer seals disposed on the other side of the separator body, and a connecting cavity for forming a seal bridge at least partially connecting the inner and outer seals to each other at a position corresponding to the through hole; holding the separator body between the first mold and the second mold; and injecting melted seal material to form the seals into each of the grooves in the first mold by supplying the melted seal material into the gate and injecting a portion of the melted seal material into each of the grooves in the second mold via the through hole. Through this method, a seal-integrated separator having first to fourth seals which are integrated on both sides of the separator body is fabricated.

A fuel cell is provided where assembly of the seals is facilitated and excellent sealability and miniaturization becomes possible. This is achieved by a fuel cell (N) where an electrode film structure (12) having an anode electrode (A) provided on one side of a solid polymer electrolyte film (15), and a cathode electrode (C) provided on the other side thereof is clamped with an anode-side separator (13) and a cathode-side separator (14), wherein a groove (38) is provided in a surface (13a, 14a) of each separator (13) and (14) corresponding to the outer peripheral portion of the anode electrode (A) or the cathode electrode (C), and a seal (S1) having a circular shape in cross-section and with a fin (F) is provided in this groove (38).

The fuel cell comprises: a membrane electrode assembly having a solid polymer electrolyte membrane, an anode side diffusion electrode (an anode electrode, and a second diffusion layer) disposed at one side of the solid polymer electrolyte membrane, and a cathode side diffusion electrode (a cathode electrode, and a first diffusion layer) disposed at the other side of the solid polymer electrolyte membrane; a pair of separators which hold the membrane electrode assembly; a projecting portion which extends from the solid polymer electrolyte membrane and which projects from the peripheries of the anode side diffusion electrode and the cathode side diffusion electrode; and a seal, provided on the separators, which was liquid sealant at the time of application. The seal makes contact with the projecting portion while the membrane electrode assembly is disposed between the separators.
