Abstract

In order to provide a constituting part for a fuel battery in which a number of steps of assembling the constituting parts for the fuel battery can be reduced, and in which a replacing property and a maintenance property of fuel battery cell parts can be improved and a cost for parts can be reduced, the structure is made such that a separator made of a carbon plate or the like, a gas diffusion layer made of a carbon fiber or the like, and a gasket made of a liquid rubber cured material or the like are integrally formed, and further, gaskets are respectively provided on both surfaces of a pair of gas diffusion layers holding an independent electrolyte membrane from both sides thereof between the pair. <IMAGE>
