Abstract
A fuel cell system includes a stack which generates electric energy through a reaction of hydrogen and oxygen and discharges moisture generated from the reaction of the hydrogen and oxygen, a reformer which generates a reforming gas containing hydrogen through a reforming reaction using thermal energy and discharges the reforming gas along with a non-reactive fuel component, a carbon monoxide purifier which reduces a concentration of carbon oxide contained in the reforming gas through a preferential oxidation reaction of the carbon monoxide contained in the reforming gas, and a non-reactive fuel dissolution apparatus which is connected to the stack and the reformer to dissolve the non-reactive fuel component of the reforming gas with the moisture from the stack and supply the reforming gas to the carbon monoxide purifier with the non-reactive fuel component substantially removed.
