A membrane electrode assembly 10 includes a solid electrolyte membrane 1 made of high polymer material, and a fuel electrode 2 and an air electrode 3 laminated at both sides of the solid electrolyte membrane 1. A fuel tank 11 is composed by fixing a box-like container 12 to the membrane electrode assembly 10. The box-like container 12 has an opening provided at a side facing the membrane electrode assembly 10, and a flange 13 is formed on the edge of this opening. A cover plate 15 is attached to the rear side of the air electrode 3 of the membrane electrode assembly 10, and a peripheral edge 15a of the cover plate 15 is bent along the outer circumference of the membrane electrode assembly 10, the outer circumference and the rear side peripheral edge of the flange 13, and by enclosing the membrane electrode assembly 10 and the peripheral edge of the flange 13, the box-like container 12 is fixed to the membrane electrode assembly 10. |
