Patent ID: 7923159

Claim:
A water recovery system of a direct liquid feed fuel cell, in which water produced at a cathode electrode of a membrane electrode assembly is recovered to supply to an anode electrode, the water recovery system comprising: a first member comprising a main member extending lengthwise along the membrane electrode assembly and a plurality of side members extending perpendicularly at opposite sides of the main member, the first member absorbing water produced at the cathode electrode, and the first member being located on the cathode electrode; a first supporting plate that supports the first member; a second member supplying the water produced at the cathode electrode to the anode electrode, and the second member being located on the anode electrode; and a second supporting plate that supports the second member, wherein the first member and the second member directly contact each other through a slit formed at an electrolyte membrane of the membrane electrode assembly, wherein the first member transfers the water produced at the cathode electrode to the second member, wherein the main member is disposed in the slit formed on the electrolyte membrane of the membrane electrode assembly, and further comprising an air penetration membrane on the first supporting plate, the air penetration membrane allows air to pass through but does not allow water produced at the cathode electrode to flow to an outside.
