FUEL CELL

摘要

A fuel cell is provided with a membrane electrode assembly (2) comprised of a fuel electrode (13), an air electrode (16), and an electrolyte film (17) held by these electrodes; and a fuel storage unit (4) for storing a liquid fuel. Since the fuel cell is possible to continuously generate electricity for a long time as far as the fuel is supplied, the fuel cell has been tried in use for a power source of mobile electronic equipment. In the case where the membrane electrode assembly is connected with the fuel storage unit through a flowing path in the fuel cell, a fuel supplying amount can be adjusted by a shape or the like of the flowing path but it causes problems of an uneven fuel supplying state, the decrease of an output of the fuel cell, and the like. The present invention has been made to solve them by providing the fuel cell with a fuel distributing mechanism (3) for supplying the fuel to a plurality of portions of the fuel electrode to connect the membrane electrode assembly with the fuel storage unit through a flowing path (5), or the like.
