Abstract:
1. A polymer electrolyte fuel cell comprising: a housing provided with an anode-side supply inlet for supplying a material for fuel; a layered structure situated within the housing, the layered structure comprising the following layers: wherein the anode and the cathode are accommodated in the housing to sandwich the polymer electrolyte membrane; wherein the anode-side collector is formed within the housing between the anode-side supply inlet and the anode; wherein the anode-side collector and the cathode-side collector sandwich the anode and the cathode therebetween; wherein the anode-side supply inlet is spaced away from a plane of a layer comprising the anode-side collector and a plane of a layer comprising the anode-side collector is spaced away from a plane of a layer comprising the anode; wherein the anode-side supply inlet is spaced away from the plane of the layer comprising the anode-side collector by a first spacer and the plane of the layer comprising the anode-side collector is spaced away from the plane of the layer comprising the anode by a second spacer; and wherein the first spacer and the second spacer are springs.
