A fuel cell capable of operating under a high temperature environment and under a low humidity environment and a method for generating an electric power with use of the fuel cell. The fuel cell comprises an electrolyte membrane, an anode electrode, and an cathode electrode. In each of the anode electrode and the cathode electrode, a catalyst is held on a catalyst support, and an electrolyte covers the catalyst and the catalyst support. The cathode electrolyte is composed of SnO2, NH3, H2O, and H3PO4. A molar ratio X represented by X═NH3/SnO2 is not less than 0.2 and not more than 5, and a molar ratio Y represented by Y═P/Sn is not less than 1.6 and not more than 3. |
