Abstract
A fuel cell system of the present invention includes: a fuel cell stack () composed by stacking a plurality of single cells, each single cell having: a membrane electrode assembly in which electrode catalyst layers () and gas diffusion layers () are disposed on both surfaces of an electrolyte membrane () formed of a gel electrolyte with a sol-gel phase transition temperature; and separators () disposed on both sides of the membrane electrode assembly; and a temperature adjusting apparatus () which adjusts a temperature of the electrolyte membrane in the single cell. In such a way, a defect such as a pinhole that has occurred in the electrolyte membrane () can be solved.
