Abstract
The present invention is to provide a redox type fuel cell that is able to quickly regenerate a mediator. The present invention is such a redox type fuel cell that a mediator is circulated in a cathode electrode, wherein a regenerator for oxidizing the mediator includes: a first chamber configured to store a mediator-containing solution; a second chamber configured to store an oxygen reduction reaction medium solution; a power source; a first electrode disposed in the first chamber and connected to a positive electrode of the power source: a second electrode disposed in the second chamber and connected to a negative electrode of the power source; an ion exchange path configured to connect the first chamber and the second chamber; and a gas supplier configured to supply an oxygen-containing gas into the second chamber.
