Abstract

A relation of X×ΔT×CTE<L×t is satisfied, where X represents a distance between a circumferentially innermost position of a bonded portion of a resin frame bonded to first projections of separators and a circumferentially inner end of the resin frame; L represents a distance between the circumferentially inner end of the resin frame and a circumferentially outermost position of a held portion of a membrane electrode gas-diffusion-layer assembly that is interposed and held between second projections of the separators: ΔT represents a temperature difference from a low temperature Tof −40° C. to a high temperature Tof 100° C. CTErepresents an average coefficient of linear expansion of the resin frame within a range of the low temperature Tto the high temperature T; t represents a breaking elongation of the electrolyte membrane at the low temperature T; and the distances X, L represents dimensions at the high temperature T
