Abstract
A fuel battery cell includes: a first separator, a first gas diffusion layer, a first catalyst layer, a polymer electrolyte membrane, a second catalyst layer, a second gas diffusion layer, and a second separator that are sequentially laminated along a laminating direction; a first gas flow path part that is provided between the first separator and the first gas diffusion layer; and a second gas flow path part that is provided between the first separator and the first gas diffusion layer and adjacent to the first gas flow path part in a direction intersecting the laminating direction, and has a flow path area larger than that of the first gas flow path part in a plan view seen along the laminating direction. The first gas diffusion layer includes a first low-elasticity part facing the first gas flow path part, and a first high-elasticity part facing the second gas flow path part and having a higher compressive modulus of elasticity than that of the first low-elasticity part in the laminating direction.
