<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel cell with excellent output characteristics enabling down-sizing, weight saving and cost reduction, without necessarily needing safe and costly platinum or platinum alloy-group catalyst. <P>SOLUTION: For a direct type fuel cell having a pair of an anode and a cathode fitted with an interposition of an electrolyte and directly supplying liquid fuel to the anode, a benzyl alcohol derivative and cyclodextrin expressed in formula (1) are combined and used as the liquid fuel. In the formula, R denotes 1C-5C alkyl group, and m and n are integers of 0 to 3, respectively, satisfying: 0≤m+n≤5. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
