LIQUID FUEL FEED FUEL CELL, ELECTRODE FOR FUEL CELL AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

摘要

A liquid fuel feed fuel cell wherein water in the oxidant electrode is promptly removed and evaporated, thereby producing high power output; an electrode for fuel cell; and methods for manufacturing those. In a fuel cell (100), a hydrophobic layer (441) is formed on a surface of a matrix (110), which is in contact with a catalyst layer (112), for promptly discharging water. A hydrophilic layer (443) is formed lying on the outside of the hydrophobic layer (441) toward the outside of the cell system for promptly evaporating water, which has passed through the hydrophobic layer (441), from the surface thereof.
