Abstract
A fuel cell stack FS includes: a plurality of cell modules M each including an integrally stacked plurality of single cells C; a sealing plate P intervened between each of the plurality of cell modules M; a manifold Mthat penetrates the plurality of cell modules M and the sealing plate(s) P in a stacking direction to distribute reaction gas, wherein the sealing plate P includes a sealing member Sthat surrounds and seals the manifold Mbetween the sealing plate P and each of the plurality of cell modules M, and the sealing member Sincludes an extended portion E that extends toward the manifold Mso that an end face Fof the extended portion E is flush with an inner wall of the manifold M. Generated water is suitably discharged through the manifold Mwithout a decrease of the flowability of the reaction gas and an increase of the production cost.
