摘要:
A polymer electrolyte fuel cell may have a cell stack of a plurality of unit cells. Each of the unit cells includes a hydrogen-ion conductive polymer electrolyte membrane, an anode and a cathode sandwiching the polymer electrolyte membrane, an anode-side separator having a gas flow channel for supplying a fuel gas to the anode, and a cathode-side separator having a gas flow channel for supplying an oxidant gas to the cathode. A pair of current collector plates sandwiches the cell stack, and a pair of end plates clamps the cell stack and the current collector plates under pressure. The current collector plates have a conductive carbon material as a main component, and have a terminal section for connecting a power output cable in the vicinity of an inlet-side manifold for the fuel gas or the oxidant gas.
