<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel cell that has a simple structure and can increase an actual amount of power generation by simplifying a connection structure, minimizing connection distance, and further minimizing the loss of a power generation voltage by uniformly retaining current in a cell surface when connecting a flat plate with hydrogen or methanol mainly used portably as fuel, or a plurality of fuel cells arranged on a plate close to the flat plate in series. <P>SOLUTION: In the flat bipolar fuel cell, where fuel cells are aligned in a patchwork shape so that positive and negative electrode surfaces are inverted at least at a set of adjacent fuel cell units in the bipolar fuel cell, where a plurality of fuel cells are aligned on a flat plate and the cells are electrically connected in series, the resistance loss in the series connection is minimized in the simplest structure in a cell that is arranged in a flat plate shape and is necessary in a portable fuel cell for supplying fuel without any accessories, and supplying air or oxygen. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
