Provided are a fuel cell making it possible to make contact pressures high between its electrode layers and its metallic layers and others, thereby improving the power of the cell, and a method for manufacturing the cell. A fuel cell of the invention comprises a solid polymer electrolyte layer (), first and second electrode layers () located on each of both sides of the solid polymer electrolyte layer (), and first and second electroconductive layers () arranged outside the first and second electrode layers (), respectively, the individual layers (to) being integrated with each other through a resin molded body () which is an insert-molded body.

Fuel cell and method of manufacture thereof

Provided is a packaged hydrogen-generating agent, the hydrogen-generating reaction of which is highly stable and repeatable, and which preferably is resistant to influence from changes in the environmental temperature. Also provided are a method for manufacturing said package, and a hydrogen generation method. The packaged hydrogen-generating agent is provided with: a hydrogen-generating agent (); a covering material () which encloses the hydrogen-generating agent () and allows deformation; and a water-absorbing body (), part of which is in contact with the hydrogen-generating agent (). The covering material () preferably covers at least the area around the contact part () where the water-absorbing body () and the hydrogen-generating agent () are in contact, so as to create a firm attachment at the contact part ().

A fuel cell of the present invention comprises a power generating cell (C), which has at least two surfaces, a fuel gas being supplied through one of the surfaces and oxygen being supplied through the other surface, thereby generating electric power, a cell holder () that holds the power generating cell (c) to face the one of the surfaces inward, whereby forming an inner space together with the power generating cell (C), and a fuel generating section (B) that is arranged in the inner space of the cell holder () and generates the fuel gas.

Fuel cell, and method for manufacturing the same

The present invention relates to and provides a fuel cell in which sealing can be reliably made for each unit cell, thereby, enabling thinning, facilitating maintenance, and enabling miniaturization and weight reduction, and enabling free shape design. A fuel cell of the present invention is characterized by comprising a sheet-like solid polymer electrolyteand a pair of electrode platesarranged on both sides of the solid polymer electrolyte, and further comprising a pair of metallic platesarranged on both sides of the electrode plates, and provided flow path grooves, and inletsand outlets communicating with the flow path grooves, wherein the peripheral edges of the metallic platesare mechanically sealed with an insulation materialinterposed between the metallic plates.

Fuel cell

In contrast, the alkaline compound included in the composition of the Document Dis strong alkali, such as sodium hydroxide. Therefore, the oxide of an alkaline earth metal used in the amended invention is not disclosed or suggested in the Dat all. In addition, the composition of Dis an oxygen scavenger and it includes compound which enhance the reaction of oxygen with hydrogen, such as catalyst. Therefore, its hydrogen generating ability is lower than that of the claimed invention.
