Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent drying of a part between a cathode and an ion exchange membrane by stacking a fuel cell in a gravity direction. CONSTITUTION:Stacking of a fuel cell is made in a gravity direction. A current collector 1, an anode 2, an ion exchange membrane 3, a cathode 4, and a current collector 5 are stacked in order, and gas evolved with the anode 2 is effectively removed by buoyancy of the gas. Since a gravity direction of the cathode 4 coincides with a flow direction of ion generated in the anode 2, the cathode 4 is difficult to be dried. Since water vapor exhausted from the cathode is collected in the lower part of a separator, effect on the operation of the fuel cell is suppressed. Therefore, drying of a part between the cathode and the ion exchange membrane is prevented and diffusion of fuel in anolyte is made easy.
