Fuel cell cartridge, fuel cell system, electrical apparatus and method for recovering water generated in fuel cell system

摘要

A fuel cell cartridge (1) includes a fuel reservoir (1a) configured to supply fuel to a fuel-cell power generation part (50) and has a water-absorber (2) configured to absorb water formed in the fuel-cell power generation part (50), at least on part of its outer surface. When the cartridge (1) is attached to a fuel cell system, the fuel in the fuel reservoir (1a) is supplied to the fuel cell system. A power generation reaction in the fuel-cell power generation part (50) yields electric power and water. The water is easily and reliably absorbed by the water-absorber (2) without leakage to outside of the fuel cell system. The fuel cell cartridge (1) has a simple structure, is easily handled, can easily and reliably recover water formed in the fuel cell, allows the recovered water to be easily disposed of upon recharge of the fuel and exhibits good recyclability.
