The present invention relates to a zinc fuel cell, and more particularly, to a tubular zinc fuel cell in which a separator and an air cathode member are sequentially disposed to wrap an outer side of an anode collector with a hollow tubular shape, and electrolyte is filled into the anode collector together with zinc beads, so that the zinc beads react in the electrolyte with hydroxide ions that are generated by a reduction reaction of oxygen in air introduced from outside to thereby produce electricity. Thus, the fuel cell may be readily designed due to shape freedom and capacity variability, and also application area thereof may be expanded by solving a limitation in installation space. A technical subject matter of the present invention is a tubular zinc fuel cell characterized by comprising: an anode collector including a metal mesh having a hollow tubular shape; a porous separator disposed to wrap an outer side of the anode collector; zinc beads filled into the anode collector; an air cathode member disposed to wrap the outer side of the separator, preventing an electrolyte supplied into the negative electrode collector from being leaked to the outside, and allowing an introduction of air from the outside. |
