Disclosed is a fuel cell device that has a hydrogen-generating member, can promote the generation of hydrogen by the hydrogen-generating member, and has favorable electricity-generating efficiency. The fuel cell device is provided with: an electricity-generating unit having a fuel electrode (102), an air electrode (103), and an electrolyte film (101) sandwiched between the fuel electrode (102) and the air electrode (103); a hydrogen-generating member (104) that, by means of an oxidation reaction with water, generates hydrogen for supplying to the fuel electrode (102) of the aforementioned electricity-generating unit; a heater (105) that heats the hydrogen-generating member (104); a temperature sensor (106) that detects the temperature of the hydrogen-generating member (104); and a temperature control unit (20) that controls the temperature of the hydrogen-generating member (104) in response to the detection results of the temperature sensor (106). The temperature control unit (20) stops the passage of electricity through the heater (105) when it has been determined that the temperature of the hydrogen-generating member (104) is at least a predetermined temperature. |
