Disclosed is a fuel cell which comprises an electrolyte membrane held between a fuel electrode and an oxidant electrode, and generates electric power by supplying a fuel and an oxidant gas respectively to the fuel electrode and the oxidant electrode. The fuel cell is characterized by comprising a fuel generating member, which is arranged so as to face the fuel electrode and planarly discharges the fuel from the surface thereof toward the fuel electrode, and an insulating layer, which is arranged between the fuel generating member and the fuel electrode and has permeability to the fuel. Consequently, the fuel cell can be small-sized and obtained at low cost, while having stably high fuel efficiency. |
