CURRENT COLLECTING MATERIAL FOR FUEL CELL

摘要

Provided is a current collecting material for fuel cells that improves the electrical contact between an MEA cell and a separator and improves fuel cell power generating efficiency and cycle characteristics. In the collecting material for a flat plate type fuel cell, a metal fiber knit formed by interleaving metal fiber is disposed as current collecting material (8, 9) on surfaces where the air electrode (cathode) (4) and fuel electrode (anode) (5) of a flat plate type fuel cell (10a) face the cathode side separator (6) and anode side separator (7) respectively. The metal fiber knit is sandwiched and pressed between the electrodes (4, 5) and the separators (6, 7).
