Disclosed is a compact fuel cell that is capable of achieving stable output, and a manufacturing method thereof. Fuel cell (1) is equipped with: a junction part (13) formed of a fuel electrode (16) and an oxygen electrode (14) arranged opposing one another with an electrolytic substance film (15) interposed; a first pressing plate (10) and a second pressing plate (11) arranged opposing junction part (13) and the peripheral region (13D) thereof; a through-hole (12) provided such that it penetrates from first pressing plate (10) through peripheral region (13D) to second pressing plate (11); and resin layer (20) which fills through-hole (12). By means of the resin layer (20) formed in through-hole (12), junction part (13) is pressed and held between first pressing plate (10) and second pressing plate (11). As opposed to when a metal screw is used, the joining space is smaller and a space to ensure the insulating property is not required. The compressed state is maintained easily due to the elasticity of resin layer (20). |
