Abstract:
Provided is a fuel cell capable of easily forming an interconnector part electrically connecting adjacent unit cells in a planar array fuel cell. In the fuel cell, an electrode layer on each of two surfaces of an electrolyte membrane is divided into a plurality of electrode regions by a dividing groove; a unit cell is constituted by a stacked structure including the electrolyte membrane, one electrode region on one surface of the electrolyte membrane, and one electrode region on the other surface thereof; and the plurality of the unit cells are connected in series by the interconnector part formed in the electrolyte membrane. The interconnector part is formed by heating and carbonizing a proton conductive resin in the electrolyte membrane. The proton conductive resin can be heated by laser beam irradiation.

Claim (Index 1):
A fuel cell comprising an electrode layer on each of two surfaces of an electrolyte membrane made of a proton conductive resin, wherein\n the electrode layers on the two surfaces each include a plurality of electrode regions divided by a dividing groove; and a unit cell is constituted by a stacked structure including one electrode region on one surface side of the two surfaces, one electrode region on the other surface side opposing the one electrode region on the one surface side, and the electrolyte membrane; and a plurality of the unit cells being arranged, wherein the electrolyte membrane includes therein an interconnector part electrically connecting the electrode region on the one surface side of one of the unit cells and the electrode region on the other surface side of a unit cell arranged adjacent to the one unit cell; and the interconnector part is made of conductive carbide derived from the proton conductive resin of the electrolyte membrane.
