Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the entire fuel cell to be equally and efficiently cooled from the inside by using a mixture liquid consisting of water and a liquid fuel as a cooling material, and by providing at least part of cooling material paths with porous catalyst layers reforming the former mixture liquid. CONSTITUTION:A unit cell consists of a fuel electrode 9, a fuel path plate 12 with fuel gas paths 11 which is placed on the upper surface of the electrode 9, an oxidant electrode 10, an oxidant path plate 14 with oxidant paths 13 which is placed on the lower surface of the electrode 9, and an electrolyte layer 8 interposed between the electrodes 9 and 10. A cooling plate 15 is inserted and interposed between the unit cells. The cooling plate 15 is provided with a plural number of cooling material paths 16, which are filled with the powder of a reforming catalyst such as copper/ zinc catalyst, and in which catalyst layers porous enough for a cooling material consisting of water and a liquid fuel to flow are formed. A mixture liquid consisting of water and a liquid fuel (such as methanol) is passed through a route C and is introduced into the reforming catalyst layers. Hydrogen rich gas produced by the reforming reaction is led out of the other ends of the paths 16, and is passed through a route D into a vapor-liquid separator 17, in which hydrogen rich gas is separated. Thus separated hydrogen gas is passed through a route E, and is introduced into the fuel electrode 9.
