    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.

    摘要: 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).
