摘要:
An electric power generation system is mounted on a vehicle having a secondary battery, an electric load, and an internal combustion engine as a driving source consuming gasoline in a mixed fuel which mainly consists of the gasoline and ethanol. The electric power generation system has a fuel cell for generating electric power by electric chemical reaction and a fuel storage unit having an ethanol selection permeable membrane for separating the ethanol from the mixed fuel involving the ethanol and gasoline. On satisfying a given condition, the fuel cell receives the ethanol from the permeable membrane and initiates the generation of electric power, and supplies the generated electric power to at least one of the secondary battery and the electric load.

A secondary battery charging system, mounted on a vehicle having an internal combustion engine, has a secondary battery, a fuel cell, a fuel storage unit, and a fuel supply controller. In order to start the engine of the vehicle, the engine requires the electric power from the secondary battery. The fuel storage unit stores a fuel to be supplied to the fuel cell. When a given condition is satisfied, the fuel supply controller instructs the fuel storage unit to supply the fuel to the fuel cell in order to start the operation of the engine of the vehicle. The fuel cell thereby starts the generation of the electric power by performing electric chemical reaction and supplies the generated electric power to the secondary battery. The secondary battery supplies the electric power to the engine of the vehicle. The engine initiates its operation.

A fuel cell stack has plural fuel cells stacked in series along a direction vertical to a main surface of each fuel cell. Each fuel cell has a lamination body made of an anode, a cathode, and a polymer proton exchange membrane. The lamination body is sandwiched between a pair of separators. Each of the anode and cathode has a catalyst layer and a diffusion layer laminated. A water collecting groove and fuel gas passages are formed in the inner surface of each separator. The bottom end of the water collection groove is lower in position than the end of the catalyst layer and the diffusion layer. The water collecting groove is not joined to the fuel gas passages and collects water produced by electrochemical reaction in each fuel cell, and drains the collected water.

An inorganic film base plate is produced with a process comprising the steps of: preparing a surface recess-protrusion base plate, which is provided with a recess-protrusion pattern on a surface, and forming an inorganic film along a surface shape of the surface recess-protrusion base plate, the inorganic film containing a plurality of pillar-shaped structure bodies, each of which extends in a direction nonparallel with the base plate surface of the surface recess-protrusion base plate. Force of physical action may then be exerted upon the thus formed inorganic film in order to separate an on-protrusion film region of the inorganic film and an adjacent on-recess film region of the inorganic film from each other.
