を低下させることである。The fuel cell stack in which a large number of the above cells 1 are stacked has the following problems. The reformed gas of the fuel supplied to the battery, that is, the hydrogen-rich gas obtained by reforming natural gas or petroleum gas by the fuel reformer, varies depending on the operating conditions of the battery. % Carbon monoxide may be contained, and the problem is that the carbon monoxide adsorbs on the surface of the platinum 16 in the catalyst 14 of the fuel electrode 11 and inhibits the hydrogen reduction reaction. On the other hand, it is a poisonous substance and reduces the output of the battery.

い。Generally, the phosphoric acid fuel cell is operated by adjusting the temperature so that the temperature of each cell 1 stacked in the stack is about 200.degree. However, the cells 1 located at the upper and lower parts of the stack are affected by the large heat radiation from the upper and lower tightening plates 4, and the temperature is 10 to 10 compared to the other cells 1.
It drops about 30 ° C. The amount of carbon monoxide adsorbed on the surface of platinum 16 decreases when the temperature rises above 170 ° C.
Under the operating condition of the battery at about 200 ° C., the influence of carbon monoxide poisoning the catalyst 14 of the fuel electrode 11 is negligible. However, in the cells 1 located above and below the stack where the temperature is low, poisoning of the catalyst 14 by carbon monoxide cannot be ignored, and the output of the battery is significantly reduced.

ることから好ましくない。Therefore, for the catalyst 14 of the fuel electrode 11, a catalyst in which platinum and a precious metal alloy such as ruthenium, palladium, rhodium, rhenium, and gold are supported on a carbon carrier 15 is used, and carbon monoxide is added to these alloy elements. It may be considered that platinum 16 itself is not attacked by adsorption so that the effect of carbon monoxide adsorption on platinum 16 is eliminated, but all catalysts 1
It is not preferable to use a noble metal for No. 4 because it increases the manufacturing cost of the battery.

タックを提供することにある。The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to reduce the cell output by carbon monoxide contained in the fuel reformed gas without significantly increasing the cost of the cell. Another object of the present invention is to provide a stack of phosphoric acid fuel cells configured not to do so.

An alloy catalyst of platinum and a noble metal such as ruthenium, palladium, rhodium, rhenium, or gold is used.

の出力低下を防ぐことができる。As described above, in the stack of the phosphoric acid fuel cell of the present invention, the fuel electrode catalyst layer of each cell from the top and the bottom of the stack where the operating temperature becomes low to the third,
By using an alloy catalyst of platinum and a noble metal, carbon monoxide contained in the reformed gas of the fuel is adsorbed on the noble metal element, and it is possible to prevent platinum from being poisoned by carbon monoxide. Compared to using an alloy catalyst of platinum and a noble metal for all the cells constituting the stack, it is possible to prevent the output reduction of the battery due to carbon monoxide without significantly increasing the manufacturing cost of the battery.

Since there is enough platinum retained for the hydrogen reduction reaction at the fuel electrode,
Similar to the above, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the output of the battery due to carbon monoxide without significantly increasing the manufacturing cost of the battery.

By setting the amount of platinum in the catalyst layer of the fuel electrode of each cell up to the second to be excessive compared with other cells in advance, carbon monoxide is not adsorbed enough to reduce hydrogen in the fuel electrode. Platinum will remain.
