Abstract:
1. A fuel cell comprising an electrolyte electrode assembly and a pair of separators sandwiching said electrolyte electrode assembly, said electrolyte electrode assembly including an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte interposed between said anode and said cathode, wherein a fuel gas is supplied from a central region to an outer circumferential region of said anode, an oxygen-containing gas is supplied to said cathode, and an exhaust gas as a mixed gas of said fuel gas and said oxygen-containing gas after consumption is discharged to the outside of an outer circumferential region of said electrolyte electrode assembly; and a stopper is formed integrally with said separator, and said stopper contacts said anode in the outer circumferential region of said electrolyte electrode assembly to prevent exposure of said anode to said exhaust gas, wherein the stopper is formed continuously along the outer circumferential region of the electrolyte electrode assembly.
