In the figure, a matrix 1 impregnated with phosphoric acid as an electrolyte is placed in the center, and above and below it are a pair of porous electrode tabs coated with a catalyst, and a positive electrode (anode) 2 made of carbon material. A unit cell is formed by sandwiching the negative electrode (cathode) 3 together. Further, on the back side of both electrodes 2 and 3 of this unit cell, there is a grooved interconnector 6 made of a mixed composite of graphite and thermosetting resin in which flow channels 4 and 5 for fluid fuel and fluid oxidizer are formed. Placed. In this case, the interconnector 60 grooves are formed on both surfaces in a manner perpendicular to each other. Then, a fuel cell main body is constructed by stacking a plurality of unit cells constituted by this unit cell and the interconnector 6.

削って平滑化することは困難である。By the way, in the conventional fuel cell configured as described above, there are various problems, particularly regarding the processing of the contact surface 10 of the gasket 9. Even if the manufacturing dimensions of the pick, the unit cell, and the interconnector 6 are precisely determined, when they are stacked during assembly, slight misalignment occurs, resulting in unevenness of about several nanometers on the side surface of the fuel cell main body 7. However, this surface is the same as the carbon material forming the unit cell and the matrix 1. impregnated with acid. Cross sections of the interconnector 6 and various materials such as sealing material (not shown) are exposed)
, and each has different physical property values, so it is difficult to mechanically scrape and smooth this surface.

る、部分では耐熱耐リン酸性の材料が要求されている。Therefore, one method of smoothing this uneven surface is to apply a rubber material or a plastic material. Further, since fuel cells are normally operated at a temperature of around 200° C., materials that are heat-resistant and resistant to phosphoric acid are required for the portions that are in contact with the matrix 1 impregnated with phosphoric acid.

ゴムの使用部分を限定する必要があった。On the other hand, a study on fluororubber revealed that I'F-oxide vulcanized rubber has excellent phosphoric acid resistance9, and that if it is made into a knot shape with a solvent in the unvulcanized state, it is effective in smoothing the side surface of the fuel cell body. It was found that the processability was also good. However, because a small amount of remaining solvent and air contained in the unvulcanized rubber foam and flow out in a spongy manner during heat vulcanization, it was necessary to limit the areas where the putty-like rubber was used.

Since the physical properties of the fluororubber before vulcanization are clay-like without rubber elasticity, it has good workability, and when fixed through the gasket 9, the gasket contact surface 10 on the side surface of the fuel cell main body 7 It can fill in the unevenness of the surface. Furthermore, during heating and vulcanization, foaming occurs due to fluidization due to heating and a small amount of solvent remaining in the putty-like uncured fluorine comb J, 2b, and the rubber infiltrates into every corner of the unevenness of the gasket contact surface 10, creating an airtight seal. You can have sexual perfection. In addition, by vulcanization, defoamed unvulcanized fluororubber 12 & putty-like unvulcanized fluororubber J
Needless to say, it is integrated with ob.
