1. A fuel cell comprising:
an electrolyte-electrode assembly comprising:
a first electrode;a second electrode; andan electrolyte membrane disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode in a stacking direction; a frame member made of resin and disposed around a periphery of the electrolyte-electrode assembly; a first separator; and a second separator provided between the electrolyte-electrode assembly and the first separator in the stacking direction, the second separator including a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface in the stacking direction, the first surface of the second separator being provided to face the first electrode, the first electrode and the first surface of the second separator defining a first reactant gas passage through which a reactant gas is to flow along an electrode surface of the electrolyte-electrode assembly, the second surface of the second separator being adjacent to the first separator, the first separator and the second surface of the second separator defining a cooling medium passage through which a cooling medium is to flow along the electrode surface, the second separator comprising:
a first reactant gas communication hole through which the first reactant gas is to flow in the stacking direction;
a second reactant gas communication hole through which a second reactant gas is to flow in the stacking direction;a cooling medium communication hole through which the cooling medium is to flow in the stacking direction; anda cooling medium connecting portion through which the cooling medium is to flow between the cooling medium passage and the cooling medium communication hole, the frame member facing the first surface of the second separator and including a resin wall which forms a periphery of the first reactant gas passage, the resin wall having a thin-walled portion which overlaps with the cooling medium connecting portion in the stacking direction and which protrudes toward the first reactant gas passage in the stacking direction by a first dimension from a surface of the frame member, another portion of the resin wall protruding toward the second separator in the stacking direction by a second dimension from the surface of the frame member, the first dimension being smaller than the second dimension. |
