Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to conductive members, electrochemical cells, electrochemical cell devices, modules, and module housing devices.
- a fuel cell is a type of electrochemical cell that can obtain electric power using a fuel gas such as a hydrogen-containing gas and an oxygen-containing gas such as air.
- a conductive member has a base material and a polycrystalline film.
- the substrate contains chromium.
- a polycrystalline film includes a plurality of chromium oxide particles and is located on the substrate.
- the polycrystalline film contains a first element. The first element is located between the chromium oxide particles and has a first ionization energy and a free energy of oxide formation per mole of oxygen smaller than those of chromium.
- an electrochemical cell of the present disclosure includes an element portion and the conductive member described above.
