<p>A separator for a low temperature type fuel cell using a stainless steel substrate S having carbon particles, such as graphite powder GP, and an aggregate CA of a carbon black, dispersed and press-bonded to the surface of the substrate in an island form, wherein the carbon particles are preferably bonded to the surface of the substrate S through a diffusion layer DL. The carbon particles such as the carbon aggregate CA and graphite powder GP may be dispersed in a plating layer, or a film component may be thermally decomposed after the carbon particles are dispersed in the film. A contact resistance is low because carbon powder having high conductivity is dispersed in the surface of the stainless steel substrate S having high oxidation resistance, and the occurrence of Joule heat which would otherwise result in a heat loss can be suppressed even when a large number of cells are stacked.</p> |
