Abstract
A fuel cell has a membrane electrode assembly (MEA), a supply member for supplying an anode fluid to the MEA, and a gas diffusion layer provide between the supply member and the MEA. The MEA has an electrolyte membrane and an anode catalyst. The supply member has at least one anode fluid flow path for supplying the anode fluid toward the MEA. The anode fluid flow path has an opening provided on a discharge side thereof for the anode fluid. A space for storing a gas pushed by the supply of the anode fluid is disposed between the opening of the anode fluid flow path and the gas diffusion layer so that the opening of the anode fluid flow path and the gas diffusion layer are not in direct contact with one another.
