Abstract
A fuel cell bipolar plate that while retaining its mechanical strength, has its electrical conductivity enhanced; a process for producing the same; and a fuel cell including the bipolar plate. There is provided a fuel cell bipolar plate comprising laminated molded item formed by a sheet-shaped molding material, wherein the sheet-shaped molding material contains a resin and a carbon material, and wherein the laminated molded item has a laminate structure of, arranged in sequence, surface layer C/inner layer B/central layer A/inner layer B'/surface layer C′, and wherein each of the central layer A, inner layer B, inner layer B′, surface layer C and surface layer C′ consists of a single layer or multilayer of the sheet-shaped molding material, and wherein when the carbon material content of central layer A is referred to as a, the carbon material content of inner layer B as b, the carbon material content of inner layer B′ as b′, the carbon material content of surface layer C as c and the carbon material content of surface layer C′ as c′, there are satisfied the relationships 55≦a≦85, 55≦c≦85, 55≦c′≦85, 10≦a−b≦30, 10≦c−b≦30, 10≦a−b′≦30 and 10≦c′−b′≦30 (the unit of each of a, b, b′, c and c′ is % by volume).
