For a combination of a solid polymer electrolyte membrane 107, catalytic layers 111 and 113 disposed on both sides of the solid polymer electrolyte membrane 107, gas diffusion layers 112 and 114 disposed outside the catalytic layers 111 and 113, and separators 103 and 104 disposed outside the gas diffusion layers 112 and 114, the catalytic layer 113 to be cathode-sided includes a carbon carrier 117 composed of carbon having a mean lattice plane spacing d 002 of [002] planes calculated from an X-ray diffraction within a range of 0.343 nm to 0.358 nm, a crystallite size Lc within a range of 3 nm to 10 nm, and a specific surface area within a range of 200 m 2 /g to 300 m 2 /g, catalyst particlers 115 containing platinum supported on the carbon carrier 117, and an electrolyte 116. According to the invention, a polymer electrolyte fuel cell is allowed to prevent a corroding deterioration of carbon carriers in the cathode catalytic layer in start and stop of the fuel cell, allowing for an enhanced stable output over a long term. |
