- the reaction electrode part, the frame, the gasket, and the gas diffusion layer are impregnated by fixing the frame to the reaction electrode part, covering the frame with rubber, and further impregnating a part of the rubber in the gas diffusion layer. Since the gas diffusion layer is integrated, the number of assembling steps required for assembling the cell or the stack can be reduced, and in the fuel cell component according to claim 8, the frame is Since the plane area of the reaction electrode part is reduced by the added amount, the ratio of using the expensive reaction electrode part is reduced, and the cost of parts is reduced. Rukoto can.
- the reaction electrode portion and the gasket are integrated, and in the fuel cell component according to claim 12, the reaction electrode portion has a frame.
- the reaction electrode section, frame and gasket are integrated, so that the man-hours for assembling the cell or stack can be reduced respectively.
- the component for a fuel cell according to claim 11 since the plane area of the reaction electrode section is reduced by an amount corresponding to the addition of the frame, the ratio of using the reaction electrode section, which is an expensive component, is reduced, and the cost of parts can be reduced.
- the reaction electrode portion and the frame since the outer periphery of the reaction electrode portion and the frame is covered with rubber, gas generated inside the cell is externally generated from the outer periphery of the reaction electrode portion and the frame.
- the reaction electrode part is obtained by impregnating rubber into the separator in the fuel cell component according to claim 9. Since the frame, gasket, gas diffusion layer and separator are integrated, the parts group including the separator can be integrated, and the fuel cell component according to claim 16 can be integrated.
- the fuel cell component according to claim 12 wherein the reaction electrode, the frame, the gasket, and the separator are integrated by impregnating the rubber with the separator. Also, the parts group including the separation can be integrated.
- the gasket according to the component for a fuel cell according to claim 15 or 16 described above is attached to an outer periphery of the gasket. Since a gas seal made of a material having higher gas impermeability than that of the gasket is provided, even when the gas impermeability of the gasket is not so good, the gas seal prevents gas from leaking to the outside. Can be suppressed.
