Patent ID: 8129068

Claim:
A fuel cell comprising an electrolyte electrode assembly, with a first separator and a second separator sandwiching said electrolyte electrode assembly therebetween, said electrolyte electrode assembly including an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte interposed between said anode and said cathode, said first separator and said second separator comprising separator bodies having the same shape, said separator bodies each comprising: a sandwiching section for sandwiching said electrolyte electrode assembly, wherein a reactant gas channel for supplying a reactant gas along an electrode surface is formed in said sandwiching section; and a reactant gas supply unit, wherein a reactant gas supply passage extends through said reactant gas supply unit in a stacking direction, for supplying the reactant gas to said reactant gas channel, wherein the separator body of the first separator is oriented 180° opposite to the separator body of the second separator; and wherein said separator body includes a first plate and a second plate, which are joined together; and a reactant gas filling chamber is formed between said first plate and said second plate, wherein said reactant gas filling chamber is filled with the reactant gas supplied from said reactant gas supply unit.
